They are in UK, but the idea of unlocked phones with hotspot capabilities and 3G dongles/MiFi boxes are the best bet. Just find the cheapest one with unlimited data or at least 5GB/month.

Yes you can. AT&T in the USA has started forcing people with jailbroken iPhones to add hotspot data plans, but that's the only downfall I've seen so far. Everywhere else is pretty open still. It works great and 3G speeds are more than enough for typical eB ay and Pa yP al work. Unless you are uploading hundreds of pictures, but most people just selfhost those elsewhere anyways.
I live in the UK and found that the 3G dongle from THREE is the best. I pay £10 per month (PAYG) and that gives me around 6 hours per day of using ebay. The signal is good all around the UK.
If you have a smartphone with a built in modem (most do) then Giff Gaff is where its at!
I use my smartphone as the modem, connect to pc via usb, Giff Gaff £10 top up give you unlimited internet / 300 minutes / unlimited texts, its only about 1 meg broadband but fast enough for eBay / surfing etc. Strictly speaking tethering your pc/laptop to your mobile to get mobile internet is not allowed but as long as you dont go mad with your downloading they cant tell that you are doing it!
To get a SIM with £5 free credit when you top up £5 go to:
Its the best mobile deal I ever had! Basically it works out as 4p per minute plus free to call other Giff Gaff phones and 0800 numbers, also there is NO MINIMUM CALL CHARGE!
How cool is that?!

Get an UNLOCKED Modem if you Do NOT have a Phone that offers a Hotspot,,Then all you have to do is Take your cell phones SIM Card out and put it in the Modem and use your cell phones Data Plan instead of Paying for another one. take
