Wallet advice

I use Atomic Wallet for storing small amounts of alt coins. I've used the built-in exchange a few times and everything works as expected. It supports many coins (even staking) and is frequently updated. You can export the seed and private keys. Maybe give this a try?

Trust wallet was my first choice but later I discovered that it lacks the desktop option and I'm not a huge fan of smartphones.

I am looking for something where I can also store my USDT TRC20 coins along with some other major ones, hence have to stick with Trust Wallet.

There's another multi-cryptocurrency wallet ^[Exodus] that supports it: Which TRON tokens does Exodus support?
^{- It has a desktop app and you can "also" use it with a hardware wallet, but it's closed source.}
Note: I prefer to not vouch ^[DYOR]!

After learning how to download, install and use Coinomi at last I discovered that coinomi does not supports TRC20 coins.

It's something I didn't know because I don't have any similar tokens in my possession, but I've done a little research on the subject and here's what Coinomi has to say about it:

The Tron version of USDT is currently not supported by Coinomi. USDT on Tron, along with other TRC20 tokens will be supported on a future update. If you receive USDT on Tron, don't worry, your tokens are perfectly safe and will display normally once TRC20 support is added.

I'm not an expert on all these things about tokens and their chain/layer, but I know you have to be careful with transactions because there are a lot of token cases that end up at the wrong addresses due to all the confusion about where it actually belongs.

So the rumours are real? I heard buying a hardware wallet from eBay is risky even if it's brand new, scammers might have laid some malware intact in the new wallet waiting for you to make first deposits, I think crypto needs a new solution for more tighten secured way to use wallets to store assets.

Even if we still don't have a single instance concerning sales of fake/altered hardware wallets, seriously, it's not worth it. Imagine buying from eBay just for convenience or just to save a couple of dollars. Let's not forget that even if you only invested a minuscule amount, it could be worth a fortune after a good number of years. And you're going to risk all that just to save a few dollars?

The main, widely known scam technique, used by people selling hardware wallets on sites such as ebay, are related to the products being sold with the 12 or 24 word mnemonic pre-printed and pre-set on the device, and obviously known to the seller, who therefore can steal your coins at any time if you go along with the said settings.

See for example the alleged recent case denounced here:

This other 2018 video claims that there was a fake set of instructions enclosed, telling the user to send an SMS to a given number in order to obtain his 24 word mnemonic:
