eBay Stealth Account and 3PL Risk?
 

Hey all. Just joined this community less than 24 hours ago. Already bought the stealth book and finished it once and will be re-reading it many more times.

As my title states, does anybody know if using a stealth eBay business account with a 3PL (third party logistics) fulfillment center comes with any increased risk of getting banned?

I ask this because of the fact that you need to provide team access/grant API permission to connect your eBay account to whatever order-fulfillment software that the 3PL is using in order for them to actually fulfill your orders and handle anything else you need in your store.

Main concern is IP address yellow/red flags for eBay with there being two IP addresses logging in and beginning a session at two different parts of my state at the same time (assuming that's how it would appear to eBay but I could be wrong)

But im not sure how this would be any different than a non-stealth eBay business account who also uses a 3PL and has given access to their program.

For context, I got banned on my Top-Rated Seller account right before I was about to make the jump from my apartment to a warehouse because it made sense at the time. I wanna get to that point again but I'm not sure if it's possible now. Not the end of the world if I can't do it, but we shall see.

If your account is setup for it then I don't see why it would be a problem. You might get a few "unrecognized login" messages but that's not something that'll kill an account. A while back I had my browser settings so restrictive that I was getting that kind of notice from eBay every time I logged in.
