How to most efficiently run 20+ stores?
 

I run at a minimum 20 ebay stores at once. Just because if i get some stores suspended i want to have other stores ready to pick up the slack. Right now i have 1 user account on my pc for each store which is fine but is time consuming. Every time i need to switch stores i need to log out and restart my mobile hotspot and go thru all that. I want to be able to work on multiple stores at once. Are virtual machines the best for this? Anyone run 10 or 20+ vm's at once for ebay?

Vm are best option for you with proxies

I dont have a spectacular computer but it's decent. Will all those VM's make it too slow? And by proxies do you mean a service like IP Burger?

What are your computer specs?

64-bit operating system

That's not going to run 20 VM's at the same time, each virtual machine needs a minimum of 2GB of RAM.

Re: How to most efficiently run 20+ stores?
 

Forget about VM. This is absolutely unnecessary and ridicules. Use Mobile Chrome or Firefox. Use a separate proxy for each. That’s all you need! You can have all 20 accounts open in each tab. Super easy! And no they aren’t going to be linked.

Ok i'll research that to see if it works for me.

Re: How to most efficiently run 20+ stores?
 

I get the need for plenty of accounts to handle product placement, but 20 is getting out there. I'm going to make an educated guess you have high-risk products that you may rotate if restricted on one account. If that is NOT the case, then you are stretching your stores far too wide to service the niche you have. Consider consolidation.

Are you in the USA? Are you the same old Robin Hood of Amazon with a new user?

I am actually scaling my eBay business from 50-100 eBay accounts. It hasn’t been easy so far but that’s my goal. Personally I don’t selling anything high risk, I am a drop shipper but I would rather sell 20k /month on each account than 100k as not to draw attention from eBay.

I hate VM.

I just run 30 accounts from 1 computer with either multiple residential IP or dedicated fresh IP.

easy and fast.

Re: How to most efficiently run 20+ stores?
 

That's what they're doing and as they say, it not easy and fast and why they're looking at VM's or portable browsers.

As an aside, why do you hate VM's, they're excellent and why they're so popular.

having 20+ real identities, the rest is the same as before

Re: How to most efficiently run 20+ stores?
 

Not selling Louis Vuitton or Apple or anything like that but still high risk enough to get accounts suspended.

Not sure if there was a Robin Hood before me but i joined back in 2016 :bounce:

How do you manage that many accounts? The most i had was 35 at once and it felt like it took all day to maintain all the stores.

Re: How to most efficiently run 20+ stores?
 

How do you manage those 30 accounts in regards to signing in and out of each account? 30 different user accounts and signing in and out of them individually? Thats what i do currently and it's exhausting. :smash:

Dude everyone is just going to give you the run around its as simple as this.

1 user profile using multiple browsers = Firefox portable with dedicated proxies
