Smart Phones and eBay

[chimera]

I’m having a bit of a tin foil hat moment so forgive me if this is a silly question.

If I factory reset a smart phone that I have used previously with ebay am I good to download the ebay app on it again for a different account?

[yankee]

Nope..... You can not reuse the app. ever.

[Ebayorbust]

No, because the phone's IMEI is recorded by ebay.

You can use the phone's 3G connection to tether to another device but you can't use the ebay app on the phone.

[Romancevic]

No You still need the new device

[chimera]

Thanks guys! So glad i asked!

Ah what. This can't be something they look at? Surely?

I feel like, you could probably use the phone once or twice and then you'll have to get rid of it before having a trail of accounts to that specific IMEI

But that's just "your" feeling. There are experienced members on here giving advice based on past findings. Be careful what advice you hand out without any data behind it, especially if it can ruin someone's account.

Personal opinion sunshine.

I was also asking for clarification entailing my comments, I wasn't dishing out anything.
