Selling same items on different accounts
 

Hi guys.

Basically I will be using a few different ebay accounts to sell the same items. My items are quite specific and I know for a fact that some of them are the only ones of kind on ebay at all.

Will this flag up warnings on ebay and cause them to link the accounts, realise what I am doing and shut me down?

I personally have been doing this for years and never had a problem.

You just have to be sure to use different pics, descriptions, and formats of the listing. You have to do a good job of protecting the illusion that you are just two different sellers of the same unique item.

I was wondering the same thing, has anyone ever been implicated in any way for using the same listing description, format, font, layout, etc on another account?

Has not yet happened to me (although I haven't had major dramas, other than a couple limitations/restrictions that were unrelated, which did not implicate my other accounts)

Can you use a new labtop that sometimes goes online on an old suspended ip address... But never the old suspended account? Only the new stealth account only on new ip?

You will Most likely get linked, New Laptop and all

I suggest buying the stealth book. Ebay/PP is more simple than Amazon. You dont need a new laptop but you do need a new router to get a different IP address. On your regular suspended laptop, just create a new user account then connect to a different router to get a new IP.

A lot of lazy sellers are looking for any item similar to their and copy and paste.
However, it is better to have them all different format for each account.

Even though it is true that other sellers will copy your listings, you don't want to create any evidence against yourself even if it is circumstantial. I once read on here that if you get suspended by a human (not a bot) then they had to use a checklist. You don't want to give them another box to check off.

If you know what you are doing and your accounts are all clear stealth accounts - you'll be fine. I also sell the same item for almost 2 years now in some of my accounts. There are so many sellers out there posting every day. If your accounts are from different cities and as Futuremogul888 said you post them in a totally different way - again you'll be fine.
