What can I use to answer messages on multiple ebay accounts?

sommer33 · #23 11-06-2012

so gmail is confirmed to be not safe right? and thunderbird seems to be fine so far? but you still can't reply direct using thunderbird, still have to log on into different user account - then might as well check directly with user account, instead of every a few hours, maybe every one or other day. am i missing something here?

and does anyone hire ppl to work as customer rep.? that case how would your workers handle the daily managing efficiently? probably can't expect him to log in and out and keep ip log and make no mistake....

Gmail is fine as long as images are disabled.

I started using Yahoo because opening gmail accounts is a pain these days. I blocked images, but yesterday I opened an email on my phone, and it opened images!. I then logged into the Paypal account and it asked me to change my password and security questions. Not happy, will change back.

I use Yahoo on one account as test few months ago - have to manually disable images - didnt particularly like it. But it did not cause my accounts problems.

Elijah · #27 11-06-2012

Yahoo! are a bunch of tards... one day your password randomly won't work, and if you entered gibberish details at registration, you are locked out forever.

After that crap I switched to Gmail and make all my accounts from my phone... which is surprisingly much faster than doing it on PC, one of the reasons being that you don't need to input a phone number each time you register like you have to on the PC, and youy don't have to deal with the "too many accounts sue this phone number" message..

sax4 · #28 11-06-2012

I just don't like the way Gmail and Google are going these days, asking for your number to "protect your account". Oh well I will just give them the number of an unregistered sim.

Elijah · #29 11-06-2012

Or make the account from your phone?

sax4 · #30 11-06-2012

Ah yes you said that works, will.give it a shot

HurricaneHuntr · #31 11-13-2012

Yeah i use gmail to respond, they don't send the IP...

and same thing, i create all my gmails from my phone, takes a few mins and i can make as many as i want.. online is a hassle.

sommer33 · #32 11-13-2012

thanks! so forward all email to one gmail, label them and reply direct in gmail with image disabled, seems to be the best option. because you can filter and choose what gets forwarded, that way you eliminate inbox emails, just answer the important ones.

if this works then hire a customer rep to handle daily emails should not be a problem anymore! excited!

can you use inkfrog to manage multiple account and print shipping? that way the listing and after sale part also gets taken care of for multiple account.

and someone mentioned using vps to switch ip, i remembered greenbean somewhere said vps is a no no, true?

Hi,
I have tested ts for about 10 months now. I have not had an acct go down at all.
I use my iPad, for browsing, for just answering buyer questions on gmail,yahoo mail,
Aolmail, hotmail,
When you go to settings, scroll to safari,
Then clear cashe,and then clear cookies.
I do this after each account is accessed.
So far, so good.plus, it's so darn convenient when you are lounging
And don't want to sit with a bulky laptop,etc.
Btw, I manage a little more than 25 accts at present. Trying to keep busy.
Good luck all.

when you say you are accessing each account, are you talking about logging into ebay or logging into gmail, etc...?

Elijah · #36 11-14-2012

Personally I'm avoiding Gmail for replying to eBay messages... I got an MC081 FPA on one account and an MC081 CIT on another a few days after replying through Gmail. Neither of the accounts were doing anything "dodgy" so I think that's it's more than a coincidence that they both went down at the same time after using Gmail.

It may take longer but I'm just going to log into each account individually and do it the old-fashioned way... at least I know that I'm safe.

sommer33 · #37 11-14-2012

good to know, this thread is becoming really cool because of ppl adding their experiences!

i will try probably 2 accounts with thunderbird direct emailing and others old fashioned for now to test out. but when it comes to listing and adding tracking number you still have to log into your user account right?

it's all safe without changing ip address? so only for browsing and answer email right?

POP Peeper - Email Notification

I use that to grab all incoming mail. If something needs answered then I log into that account. You can set it to grab emails at set intervals. Email accounts can be color coded.

TurtleCove · #40 12-02-2012

Lisa, can you give us more info on using your iPad?
You say you're managing 25 accounts, but are you logging into EB from your iPad for each of these accounts? And, not changing your IP address, but simply clearing cookies?

Should get REPLYMANAGER.COM ... It also has autoresponder and you can set different rules depending on the folders.

I am currently using android apps called Comomail, works great multiple id account support

This is my method also

All accounts checked at once & respond via ebay.
