Msgs from buyers in multiple accs. going to one email or some program?
 

Can my stealth accs. get linked by using one email where EB to send copy of questions from buyers in different accs.?
This email is not registered for any accs, just to be used for receiving copy of emails from buyers.
This would make it lessen my logging on different accs just to check if i got inquiry.

(Another thing, I have a friend in another country, in my one acc. i set the copy of buyer inquries to go to her email so she can check my buyer inquiries just so she can tell me how to respond to buyers.
My acc. is not getting limited this way. So deos that mean EB cannot detect or just not paying attention to the IP address for email receiving copy of buyer inquiries? OR, i'm just getting lucky this is not getting noticed yet by EB, eventually it will?)

If yes, how do you guys manage logging on multiple EB accs. or emails regularly?
Is there any program you use where to receive copy of all EB msgs and you can reply from there too and the IP address EB wont know, just like using Auctiva
you can create lsitings for different accs. but the IP address is not shared to EB.


Thanks in advance for the responses.

I hate answers like this (incomplete and not answering your question!), but here is what I have found:

I use Mozilla Thunderbird (thanks for the tip GrannyT) so I can see all incoming questions from buyers etc. You can link all of the email boxes for your ebay accounts to it and then work with them from that programme.

However when replying - I think it makes sense to login to the specific account and reply from there. After all, I often get messages with a reply telling me what my IP address was when I sent the original message.

e bay CAN see the IP you reply from. If you reply to a lot of questions from different accounts then you are just asking for trouble - don't do it!

Or do do it and tell us what the outcome is.

If there is a lazier/better way out there then I am also interested.

Oh - when I am sending messages to successful buyers I simply swipe their email address out of the paypal message and use that for all future correspondence. Even if they then send a message via ebay, just hit reply and change the reply address to bypass e bay. Just don't forget!!!

Oh yeh - you should probably use the search function in future - I'm sure this has been covered before...

Forwarding e-mails from an account to another e-mail is not likely to get you linked (MAKE SURE TO KEEP ALL BEACONS AND IMAGES DISABLED). You CANNOT use that mega-email address to respond though - that would be horrible.

Welcome to the forums.

Why do this?

Very risky and one simple mistake can take down several accounts.

It only takes seconds to switch, sign in and check emails so why even try this

I have all messages from eb and pp sent to the email so I can see what is being asked without even signing in to see if it is important enough to sign in right away or later.

I've been doing this for years, your best bet is not to use thunderbird rather use gmail and install on computer is much safer it automatically disables any becon. DO NOT REPLY FROM IT ONLY LOGON TO THE EBAY THEN REPLY

When I email someone it uses the right email address in Thunderbird. Not that buyers check their email anyway
