Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

I sell the same items on my stealth accounts.

However if I upload the tracking id's , ebay will start to notice that every package ships out from Salina Kansas where I live. Will ebay ban my accounts if it notices this?

I think that adding tracking id's is important because ebay starts to trust sellers more and gives them more exposure in my experience.

What do you guys think?

Should I add the tracking?

You NEED to upload tracking for everything on a new account.

eBay couldn't care less about where your packages are shipping from. They just want happy customers. There's so many dropshippers on eBay, they don't have any way of knowing who's running multiple accounts and who's just dropshipping.

By the way - take out the part about where you live. TMI. :dance:

Thank you ..

So question for you then.. What if I'm selling the same exact products on each of my 10 stealth accounts? Won't ebay think" same items and same ship out location , it must be him" ?

No ebays doesn't care as long as you are providing quality customer service and playing by the rules. It doesn't matter where your items ship from.

Are these low risk, inexpensive items?

PM me and I can show you a good trick to fly under the radar and post super high quantities. I do not want to post it here.

Can confirm, this isn't a problem.

Aking

Yes they are 50 dollar items in a low risk category. No electronics or jewelry.

Just to be clear guys...

It's not just the shipping from location .it's that <and> the same exact items i'm selling for each acccount.

to beat a dead horse, zero issues from ship from zip code. I ship A LOT of items for dozens of USA accounts and a handfull of chinese accounts from the same zip code and return address that a major distribution center does. My guess would be several hundred ebay accounts along with amazon accounts run through the same shipping post offing here in the mid south. Heck ebays distribution center is not that far away.

:deadhorse:

The issue of accounts being linked by shipping origination city/locale concerns me too. Despite other posters on this topic as my volume is achieved (50-100) units per day (goal) I may start to split up shipments by driving to nearby zip codes to avoid detection. Believe I would much rather continue to walk out of my condo in my bathrobe to the nearby USPS blue box. Better safe then sorry and really just extra discretion (growing pains). Also not sure if you all heard but in the recent seller update Ebay removed generic "ships from US" as origination option. They are likely trying to better inform buyers of where actual shipping takes place due to transit time delays based on shipping zones.

Ask again, the answer is still going to the same: location via tracking isn't an issue.

Re: Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

What about putting return address down on ebay shipping labels? Can you use the same one over and over on many accounts?

Re: Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

Whaaattt?!?! :lol:

Re: Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

Your goal volume is a fraction of a percentage of some members real volume. Take our word for it, 10,000 items a week is nothing to worry about from one location. Fulfillment centers shipping for hundreds of sellers and people drop shipping Keurigs and Shark etc... you have thousands of items shipping daily from the same addresses for many hundreds of accounts.

You guys are absolutely beating a dead horse. You are paranoid at this point and ignoring everyone's FACTS but hey, if you want to drive all over creation(personally I would NEVER drive to any pif you only post office at all) have at it. Certainly if you only sell a 100 things a day, you have most of the day to waste driving around anyways.

Re: Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

Sure, spend a lot of time and money driving around. Crazy, but what the heck...

The answer is still going to the same: locating you via tracking numbers isn't an issue.

Re: Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

Return address the same on ebay shipping label fine?

Re: Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

NO!

Dont use ebay shipping....and if you do, DONT Change the addresses.

Re: Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

Seriously? Do you not even bother to use the search function?

This ( and your original question ) has been addressed like 10X just in the last six weeks.

He is quite argumentative when he does not agree with 100% of the respondents too. Quite obnoxious fellow

Re: Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

Personally if selling the exact same items on multiple accounts I would be most worried about the pictures/descriptions being identical. 100s of thousands of ebayers sell the same items but their individual listings dont look identical.

Re: Should I add Tracking Id's to new Ebay Stealth Accounts?
 

Mine are completely unique made and branded items. Nobody sells them or anything close.
