| What you have to understand about VPN's is that a lot of them have/are burned and thus Ebay/Paypal know which IP's they are. In most cases it's best to find one (a VPN Provider) that isn't burned....but then it become, how do you know which are/ are not burned?
I believe 123 (Verified Seller) on this forum sells VPN's which are reliable. Quote:
But since I do have tethering on my smartphone (or dongle) I guess I want to go that route.. Questions is follows.
| As the saying goes, there's more than 1 way to skin a cat, this goes for Ebay as well.....There's VPN, VPS, Dongle, Phone Tethering, Mifi. You have to figure out which works best for you. Quote:
I have cc cleaner on this phone so I will utilize this but if I don't per say, will this phone have new ip everytime I connect to it?
| IP's depend on your Phone Provider, same goes for Dongles, Mifis. What you have to do is log all IP changes between accounts. Quote:
Drawback of this tethering is that sometimes I just can't get connection and that will be lot of wasted time. In that case, I guess reseting mac is good idea. (problem is family member shares same router and uses ebay occasionally.. which is why vpn comes in handy again?)
| I think your mixing up two different things, Tethering has to do with your Phone but then you bring up Router......
If you are talking about using your home Internet, it can be difficult to mess with it while family are trying to use it. Quote:
Just want to be absolutely certain what to do before blowing my chances... Gosh I miss ebay.. feel like it was some sort of relationship I had... (virtual gf?) :pound:
