Is it risky to get the EB app if..
 

I used to have the EB app on my mobile phone, where I logged into my EB account before it was restricted from selling.

I removed the app.

Now, I want to redownload it.

How risky is it to download it again and logging my new account on the app?

It might sound a little vauge, if so, just ask me for more info. :typing:

Thanks!

Not possible to re-download it

Avoid the APP. Lots of posts into detail about why to avoid the APP

ebay app can never and should never be used again with a stealth account.

Instead of the ebay app, use a browser.

Hmm, so using the APP is risky but using browser on the same device is not?

Any reason for that?

In summery the APP pulls a lot more info off the phone than a browser

App gives to much info. Want eb seeing your contacts ? Location? Phone info?

Ok, I get it; EB APP is not an option for a stealther.

So I assume EB will not link me if I browse the site on my phone?

So long as you follow all stealth methods then you can use the browser on the phone without issue

Yes, but I am not sure how it works when it comes to mobile phones.

As mentioned, I am connected to 3G connection and no Wifi.

So I wonder if the IP is dynamic or not... I guess I will need to do some research into that.

Mobile phone IPs are nearly always dynamic so you will need to track it.

You need to make sure that cookies between eBay/PayPal accounts are separate (if you have several accounts) and any old cookies you have RE eBay or PayPal are removed
