can I use a vpn when logging in to ebay

It will likely cause an inordinate number of login requests and Captcha requests, particularly if the IP is rotated through various countries. This can interfere with time-sensitive bidding.

 

I don't use a VPN, but I frequently use my browser's "private browsing" or "incognito" feature when I want to log in on a different account at the same time this user is logged in. Most of the time I can do what I need with my account using private browsing (it probably doesn't cycle through IPs). However, if I fail to log out at the end of the session, the next time I log in as a different user, I'll get the Captcha sequence. So "private browsing" seems to work well and is probably less troublesome than a VPN when on eBay.
