Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy

[GhostOfAmazon]

For the Multiple Account Veterans:

What service do you use to print labels for your eBay and Amazon accounts?

I've got the email strategy set with Thunderbird, but logging into individual accounts to print labels is a pain in the ass.

I'm looking for the most cost-effective and convenient method available.

I've seen Shipstation recommended, but they are pricey, at 45 a month for eBay and Amazon accounts.

What do you guys use?

in for answers.

ShipStation. Seriously. YES, it is a little more expensive than most services, but the automation will BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES! What used to take me 3 hours a day now takes 30 minutes! They can even leave feedback for you. It is WONDERFUL!

I have tried other software programs and another service, but NOTHING came even close.

Can you be more specific on the "automation"?

I'm not doing 1000+ orders a month. I do between 100-250 orders a month, so I don't have all that much to "automate". I just don't want to login to 5 different accounts. As long as I can print everything from every account on ONE login, I'm happy.

Other software, like Teaplix, for example, claims to do this but for only 30 bucks a month, with unlimited accounts!

I just don't see the advantages. But that's why I'm asking this forum, because I've never used any of this shipping software.

Shipstation worked for me too. What he means by automation is that u can set it up to download orders from "those companies which shall not be named" , input details about ur packages, set to print and then it automatically puts back the tracking numbers into each order. U can automate other things just ask support about anything else u want automated.
The real problem is and I'd like to ask jeffweico....can u operate multiple accounts of ebay or amazon from sale Shipstation account or do I need a different account for each ebay/amazon?

Will parcel2go do this?

Bit the bullet and test it out

Think I'm gonna have to do it by the end of this month with two of my smaller accounts....

ShipStation has been the huge success story this year. First, they got an endorsement from Mark Cuban. Then, much to the dismay of Endicia, they were bought out by Stamps.com - I don't know what the $$$ was, but I'm sure the owners became very, very wealthy. It seems that EVERYBODY has nothing but good things to say about ShipStation.

Everyone seems to be using them now, from us stealthers, to small eBay guys, to big companies.

In fact, I remember when they were a startup, hungry and begging for business. One of their people posted here that it might be good for stealth. So, I called them and spoke with them for about a half hour. It took me 3 more months before I signed up. But, WOW, was it worth it.

Now, I bet that guy wouldn't even return my call...

Parcel2go has been mentioned before in this forum, wasn't someone else going to test them out and report back here?, this is the first time I have seen any mention of their service since then, so really we are still none the wiser about how good or dependable or good for stealth their service is.

So will ship station be able to link all my eBay accounts without any issues?

Ok so ship station is only fur use in the USA

Are you able to operate multiple accounts from a single user of Shipstation

Ghostofamazon did you figure something out? did you try shipstation or teaplix? It would be amazing if I could run 10- 15 accounts and answer all emails and print labels without logging into each account. Just running 7 accounts became really time consuming so I decided to focus on 2-3 accounts. I used teaplix on my real account it was great. I wanted to setup a new teaplix for one of my accounts today because it was going really well and decent amount of orders but the eBay was restricted today

Teaplix is good, but you need to swap browsers/IP/User accounts/etc for each and every account (only when you FIRST ADD)

[ebayerOG]

you need to do that with all API account managing/automating software

token lasts for one year

I use inkfrog and stamps.com. Inkfrog uses token to connect ebay and amazon, which seems very stable so far.

I hate Stamps.com, plus they are very unreliable/unstable. They were down during the Christmas rush a couple years back....

Anyone got an UK ideas yet?

If you are using Endicia like myself then you will be forced to use stamps soon. Stamp.com bought out Endicia.
