Hi, I am looking for a proxy to register for an eBay (in US) account. I have been advised to use a static residential proxy. I want to ask, how do I know if the proxy I buy is residential proxy or a datacenter proxy? (Is there a way to check this?). Thank you!
 
Easily use, ipinfo.io to check
Thank you for responding. But I don't know what parameter is going to reflect that proxy is residential proxy. Hope you can explain it to me. Thank you!

Scroll down to the "Ingredient 2: Residential Proxy" paragraph in this thread: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/new-method-how-to-get-unlimited-google-voice-numbers-2020.1224026/, an illustrated explanation can be found there.
But if you want the short version, with a datacenter proxy the asn type is business, with a residential proxy it's isp.
 
True mobile proxies that provide you with residential IPs connect to cell phone towers of a verified cellular network provider. So when you run a check using a website like https://whatismyipaddress.com/, in the results, you'll find the name of the ISP your IP is listed with and that is the indication that your proxies are residential (for example, if you're using US proxies, the ISP could be Verizon or AT&T). Datacenter IPs on the other hand are devoid of this detail since they aren't truly mobile proxies. You don't want true static, you want dedicated device. No residential proxies are true static, their IP can change on restart of modem / phone etc.

You can use a site list ifconfig[dot]me to check and getipintel[dot]net to rank your ip address
 
Try ipburger.com residential proxy. I use their service for my new PayPal account, and it works perfectly. This service is recommended for eBay sellers. They offer a rotating proxy with the sticky option for 30 minutes. So when logging into eBay or PayPal account, use the same internet operator (you can choose operator) and the 30 minutes sticky option. I think that it will work fine for you.

You can use the free IP2Proxy demo in https://www.ip2proxy.com to check if one IP address has been detected as residential or data center.
 
If you plan to make a lot of accounts, I recommend mobile proxies to make accounts then when you want to use the account for long term (like selling), use private residential static ISP proxy on it. Datacenter is cheaper but I don't recommend it if you want to use the account for long term.
