How risky to check your other accts from one

Lost in the Supermarket · #1 07-12-2014

Hi,

hate going through the trouble of changing IP addresses and so forth. Just how risky is it to look in on your other accounts from one?

What I mean, is if I am logged in to User ID 69Me and I do a search for a certain item I know I have listed with a stealth aco**** (named YYZ for ex.) then I can "See other items" and see if anything is getting bids. Is that risky for the 69Me account (or both)?

You can watch your other accounts from 1 account as far as watching the bids and stuff....I have all my stealth accounts bookmarked on my buying account and constantly watch my Auctions.

1. New user account on your computer.
( never ever sign into ebay or anything other then gmail on this user account )
2. Add all your gmail accounts and passwords to this user account.
( Check sales and if there are any questions )
3. You can go to ebay and type in a keyword without using your entire headline and find your product. Click on it, go to other items for sale and you can see whats getting action.

Saves a ton of time if you are running lots of accounts.

Done this for years.

I run 100s of accounts so I have this MYSTERIOUS USER account on each of my seller computers.

Just be really careful on what you do. You will be fine.

Are you saying it is OK to answer ebay messages through Gmail as long as you are logged into a MYSTERIOUS USER account on the PC? So IP address is not an issue with using Gmail to answer ebay messaging?

No.

I said you can check to see if there are questions.

If so then you can go to that account, check your ip etc as always and answer the questions.

If no questions show on that account you dont have to go that account.

I run 20 or so accounts per week. I know by just going to this user account if something sold or if there are questions without going to all 20 user accounts.

Sandy's method is the safest.

look for an email app to add your gmail accounts to. You can check everything from there using your mobile device. Super convenient. I can also respond to messages by clicking reply in the email.

I would not do this myself.

It will be seem convenient until one day u display images accidentally or hit reply and login into eBay without thinking.

I used to use my iPhone , now I have an iPad mini, which makes running stealth so easy, I'd be lost without it. I even use a phone app and use it as a phone, and with 4g LTE , you can now even make clear calls like a cell from those apps

But back to the topic, I just use the mail center on my iPad ( iOS 7.1.2 ) and go to settings and mail and add email account.

Works great . I know what all my accounts are doing at all times where ever I am.

I would feel blind, if I couldn't have access to gmail everywhere at all times, and it makes running accounts so much easier when u have a lot

And there is systems you can make to organize the emails, for me I'll flag any payment that comes to the inbox and also flag all transfers of funds from paypal to my bank.

Also the emails that paypal sends when u withdrawal funds, besides coming in to my inbox, will also be under VIP in my emails, so I can just go to VIP and I'll see all my pending withdrawals in one spot all together, because sometimes I'll have a lot of new payments and withdrawals flagged in my inbox , by marking all service@paypal emails as VIP you will be able to go to VIP and have them all together isolated from the rest of inbox

Also after I flag payments in my inbox, as I print the postage is when I'll archive them , same with withdrawals as I check my bank accounts every morning also all from my iPad with different Apps for my financials , I than match the deposits ago the emails and will archive those emails

That is just my system but the email center on smartphones/tablets and I prefer the apple iOS for this just will make running your business so much easier and will connect you to every account at all times. No more logging in and out, and only being able to check from a PC , u are always logged in and know what is going on with ur business in real time with emails

Also the mail center for apple iOS systems your able to add unlimited email addresses

No images displayed if u use the right app... And you're good with login unless you click an ebay link by accident, then click the sign in link by accident, then type in ur login details for that account by accident...

What app do you guys use/recommend? I check on my accounts by bookmarking all my accounts and putting them in a folder but it'd be nice to be able to check on my accounts while I am on the go.

Yikes!!!! That would be careless to do that much, if you know what I mean.

Shudders at the horror if some user managed to make such a slip.

Need to be vigilant when doing stealth.

Imagine the possible harm, wow.

No apps - keep it simple.

This is a case where an app is not a problem.
