Tor browser?Is it better than using a hotspot?
 

Somebody talked me about the Tor browser.
Would any of you experts recommend it?
Isn't it more convenient that using the hotspot of your smartphone? It would allow you to use the internet connection of your house, which is not as limited as the GB in your phone plan.
Thanks!

Lot of posts about TOR causing big issues - pp and eb know about this anonymous browser and the potential trouble it means. Best to get decent IP and decent stealth process going

Please do not use TOR, there's always someone on here that will tell you how good it's working for them......Too many people have tried TOR and had problems.

I believe TOR works by changing your IP every time you change web pages even on the same site. This is obviously not good in eBay's eyes plus you run the risk of getting an IP that someone else has used with them before. It is definitely safest to go with a fresh IP from 24vc.com, ipburger.com, hostpigeon.com, etc. that will provide you with a dedicated IP that eBay can get used to seeing

As others recommended, avoid TOR

If you're operating a US store and your TOR connection shows a german IP, you're already at high risk for a mismatching IP location. Not to mention that the IP may change your location multiple times throughout the same session.
