Where do you set your zip code to if you're using your phones hotspot?
 

I'm a little confused. If you use your phones hotspot, doesn't it keep changing your location every time you use it to connect?

How do you know where to set your zip code on the Vanilla card if you're constantly moving?

For one account you can use duplicates right?

Last one, will connecting to your home wifi and accessing a NON eBay stealth account on your phone affect anything or get you limited?

Some hotspots change IP's each time you log on and some don't. To test it, go to IPburger.com and it will tell you the IP address that you are currently using. Then, log off, power down your hotspot and turn it back on 5 minutes later. Go to IPburger.com again and see if the IP it gives you is the same or not. That will tell you if the IP changes. Either way, the IP address should come up in the same general area the hotspot is physically located in.

Your ZIP code should correspond with the stealth address you are using. It is less important that the ZIP code match the IP address location. But it should NOT be wildly off. You don't want to use a NY ZIP code and log in from an IP in Nevada, for example.

If you mean, can you log onto the SAME stealth account using an IP address that has been used with the SAME stealth account as before, the answer is yes. You just do not want to use the same IP address to log on to multiple stealth accounts because it could create a link.

Can you elaborate? I don't understand the question.

Thank you for being so helpful! I figured the last one out, I was asking if having previously logged into my non stealth eBay on my phone would get me banned, because I am going to be using my phone as a hotspot. The answer I found was that If the IP address that I used to connect to my non stealth eBay account comes up again and I accidentally link it with my stealth ebay account It'll result in being linked to my non stealth account.

Since I didn't log IP addresses every time I connected to my non stealth eBay account, it would not be a very wise decision to go the hotspot route.

I'll help.

No, it shouldn't be. As long as you keep your stealth accounts separated from your home wifi's IP address and your phone.
