Managing multiple accounts

[jpamboris]

Hi all.
How does everyone manage listings on multiple stealth accounts? For example, do you have some structure when you list items on certain accounts given you can only list 10 or 100 items?
Cheers

I would also like to know if using the same password for multiple accounts is possible?

Hi,
I generally keep an updated word doc writing down all the details for each account so I know how many items I can list but most important I write down each login and password for each account.
I guess you can use the same password for every account but why take the risk to be linked by a silly password when you can use any password in the world and just write it down so you do not have to worry about your memory?

Thanks for the response..

I would like to hear how people segregate the accounts with ebay listings? For example, if you have 100 dvd's and 5 accounts with 10 listings on each account, how would you list on certain accounts? Would it be by category, alphabetically etc?

I do not think it does matter.

Find the best way for you... the one you are more comfortable with.

That will be the best method.

If you are really selling DVDs, I guess you know they are high risk items... be careful.

In any case, for your items, use your own made pictures for your auctions.

Do not use the same picture for more than one account.

Just do whatever you find easiest Make sure there is nothing to link the accounts.

Pictures, descriptiins, prices and listing style etc must all be different.

Spreadsheets and notepads for keeping track of info

Possible.. yes.. but will it link your accounts? I have seen it happen.. I recommend using a different password for each account.

for the life of your account(s).

Be prepared and never let a phone number lapse.

Lack of a working number is enough to have an ebay account limited.

paypal dislike no phone numbers as well. You may then have issues adding a number.

Start off as you intend to finish, everything working & looking normal.

Good Luck

Why would you risk linking yourself with the same items over 5 accounts?

Unless you have been really careful at the time of creation, this will not happen.

Going stealth means a new you.

Avoid doing anything to link yourself.

At least rotate,,don't list the same items at the same time across many accounts

Make sure you have different pictures for each , different angles, lightening

You need to make each account look different, even the font and the way u write the description

If there is a Manuel review and say there are 3'accounts in question, that's how they determine that the accounts are linked, they look at the items, descriptions and pics

One time I had 3 accounts in question, and they had me on the line while they looked at the accounts side by side, something they never do while you are on the phone, but they slipped this one time and I was able to see how they ultimately determine a strong link in a Manuel review

Remember to use batchpurifier to clean the hidden data in pictures too
Shipping costs and method need to be different as well
Everything needs to be different
