Re: 100 accounts
 

Does this mean you have 150 different IP addresses?

I'm with 24vc and for fresh UK IP addresses its costing me $25 per month, $15 per month if I'm buying 1 year subscriptions. I'm running and selling on 6 accounts at the moment so thats already $90 minimum per month on VPN.

Even with say 30 accounts, if you're not selling on each one and just keeping them dormant. I don't understand how it would make sense to keep a VPN subscription for each account. The cost of running per month must be in the hundreds if not thousands! :faint:

Re: 100 accounts
 

You don't need 100 separate IP address....just need to be able to switch enough times. With a Dongle/Mifi you can potentially switch a few times within 1hr....your making it more complicated than it should. 24vc is just 1 of many different ways to get an IP....not the only one.

Re: 100 accounts
 

Running 100 of YOUR OWN accounts in theory isn't difficult if you are organised. A lot does depend though on which country you are from, as some countries it is easier to get loads of bank accounts, some countries you can withdrawal too vcc's. It really is a 'local' issue to a certain extent.

In the UK, it would be far harder for a single individual to have 100 stealths, fully operable with bank accounts attached, than maybe elsewhere.

I have around 55 stealths with bank accounts attached at the moment, and another 20+ bank accounts open and ready should I decide to use them. I really don't need anymore than this, and feel I would be pushing my limits somewhat if I tried to get too many more bank/saver accounts. That being said, it is always nice to source some more just in case. ;)

Selling cheap items is lower maintenance also, not so much emails to deal with when selling toilet brushes etc

Re: 100 accounts
 

When you run anothers ebay account how to you get your money. Do you withdrawal to their bank account? thanks

Re: 100 accounts
 

A wise operator would use bank accounts not attached to PayPal...

Always, always keep this word in mind. LINK .

Starting in stealth takes preparation. The more questions you ask, like you are now, the easier it becomes to do stealth.

Keep up your good work!

The end result is so darn worthwhile... you make money & beat PayPal/eBay.

:pound:

Re: 100 accounts
 

Started with running your own yet?

Re: 100 accounts
 

I'm new here, so maybe I'll learn in time.. but what on earth are you guys selling that you need so many accounts??? My mind is boggled lol

Re: 100 accounts
 

Think of a sport team, why do most sport teams have extra players? Either to replace tired players or if one gets hurt, they can put in a replacement...same goes for Stealth accounts. 100 accounts is an extreme amount but people should always have replacement accounts.

Re: 100 accounts
 

What do you mean by running accounts for customers!?

Re: 100 accounts
 

I understand the analogy.

I'm more curious about what products people are selling.

I'm assuming Amazon arbitrage.. I just don't know enough about this massive selling on ebay to know more.

I've never had a problem selling, but I don't move so many products that I would need that many accounts. Also, there is nothing remotely shady about what I'm selling, so I've never had any sorts of warnings about getting an account shut down ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: 100 accounts
 

You'd be surprised at the amount of people on ebay demanding a refund for their used toilet brushes because they used it for two months and now it is dirty :smash:

Re: 100 accounts
 

I have run my own and now im doing it with a friend. we are going stealth soon but im just curious as how to approach some people and let us handle their ebay accounts, but just wondering how i would get my funds. maybe keep their paypal card. certainly wouldn't want to withdrawal all the payments to their bank account they could take it and run lololo:attention:

Re: 100 accounts
 

Can't be 100 active accounts... how would you even use them all?

Re: 100 accounts
 

100 is 100, I would say the person may be cycling between accounts or using them in blocks.

Re: 100 accounts
 

which computer systems to run 100 accounts best?

windows 7?

Re: 100 accounts
 

Any OS will do 100 accounts easily as long as they are not opened simultaneously. What's this obsession with 100 accounts lately??

Re: 100 accounts
 

Not sure, getting old.

Flavors of the month.

Re: 100 accounts
 

Like asking how long is a piece of string...

What else is on this machine!

Why are you thinking of VMware?

Are you maybe not in the U.K.?

:amen:

Re: 100 accounts
 

Welcome to the forums - always smart to have backups going in case an account goes down. 100 is extreme for newcomers :)

Re: 100 accounts
 

I have 10 item per month limit but have over 200 different pound store items so I need that many eb accounts.

When I am out and about doing whatever, I always have my beady eye open for a good bargain or two :)

Re: 100 accounts
 

Many people do not have time to sell on bay so I do it for them.

Re: 100 accounts
 

That's going to depend on which OS you run, how much Ram you give each VM, How much Hard Drive Space you make each VM. Also, you wouldn't ideally run ALL your VMWares at the same time, I would recommend running no more than 4-5 at any given time.

Re: 100 accounts
 

And how was this at all relevant to his question?

Re: 100 accounts
 

Was not.

PCBitis complaint here.

::heh:

i rally back sometimes to eventually forget most of my accounts (to not ever feel the urge to use them , and age on time )
as well ..and in a couple of months i team them together and put them to play . i have 53 now sleeping ready to be tagged in , and in 11 months i will start 5 then move up to 10 . if i get low balled on one i will substitute the loss .
hope that made sence ,sorry if you can not understand m i do not spell english good .

Re: 100 accounts
 

if you don't mind me asking, how are you logging into each ebay account to process orders etc?

Re: 100 accounts
 

Best way to tell is just to try it for yourself. See if all 4 open up simultaneously and the entire system doesn't become too sluggish. I myself run 4 VMs same time, each with Win 7 on (not tiny), but then again I have invested in a high end PC.

There are many solutions such as shipstation that allow you to collect orders all into one system and print the labels.

Re: 100 accounts
 

I run about 30 +/- active at a time, but I only log into the smaller ones once a month or so, sometimes every other month unless there's a problem such as an opened case that required logging on.

The 4-5 bigger ones get a visit maybe 1-2 times a week.

I set up 10-12 listings on each account to end two per day for a week, and to auto-relist if not sold.

If they sold I renew them through Auctiva.

This about uses up my 50 free listings per month on each account. It keeps the accounts active, and brings in a little revenue without any real expenses if they don't sell.

When a PP account reaches $2-3-400, I pay for inventory from one of my suppliers, I just send the money directly to their account.

The little accounts add up to 20-30 sales a day all combined.

I wrote a macro to scroll through every auctiva account and print out any labels sold on a daily basis.

Then I work the other sites I sell on.

I have all the emails from the accounts forward to a central email site to monitor them, and when I get questions, I just log into the appropriate email address and answer.

Re: 100 accounts
 

I am running about 15 accounts every day and hire two full-time and one part-time workers. Feel like no spare time to enjoy life.
Around 200 packages are shipped out every day. Too much work to list, revise, print shipping labels, restock,counting ...
Very stunning that how to run around 150 accounts.
Most of my accounts are below standards due to late shipment...

Re: 100 accounts
 

Dang man, I'm doing around 100/day but it only takes me 2 hrs to pick, pack, and label them. Shipstation + dymo 4xl has been great for getting the labels printing fast. I also have listings good till cancelled, and an inventory management software (ecomdash - dunno if its work for 15 accounts) to adjust inventory levels as sales happen and restocking. The GTC aspect might help you though.

Re: 100 accounts
