buying items as a guest?

[bigcasey123]

Hey guys i have a question about buying items as a guest.

I want to start dropshipping on ebay with ebay (surprisingly possible) and i'm trying to figure out how i can buy the same item multiple times without the seller combining the shipping (meaning i don't want him to look at my username and see i bought the same item 30 times and having them just send the 30 items to one address) if i bought as a guest would they still be able to know it's the same person buying multiple quantities?

i had this problem before where i told the seller that all the items i buy are going to different address's but they still sent all the items to one address (of course one of my buyers were extremely happy over this because they got 30 of the replacements lol).

Also i do buy the items one by one i don't just change the quantity to 30 lol.

naturally they'd be able to see it. Even as a guest.
Your best bet may be to wait until one is packed/shipped then order another.

If you think the paypal/ebay syatem will allow multiple purchases as a guest, then think again.

paypal stops guest purchases very often.

hi, you can buy items on ebay even with your user id and just change the address for each buyer. You can wait between each order, or just send the seller an email to say what your doing

30 orders for them afterall

WHAT??????????????????????????????

Are you suggesting that a seller change his address 30 times via email just to make a sale?

Are you advising a seller to compromise his account in this manner?

Simple YES or NO response

Daftest idea to date.

This would get your account locked so so fast.

most sellers have a buyer account as well, with this they can buy items and have gift addresses, you buy an item, enter the address and pay for it.

I have done it for years. Where is the issue in it ?

[GreenBean]

Not what you said first time around.

[a.v.limited]

errrrr yes it is, never mentioned a seller changing his address at all, not sure where you made that up from !!

Re-read what this says then.

'just change the address for each buyer'

AND

'or just send the seller an email to say whay you are doing.'

[a.v.limited]

he is acting as a buyer

most sellers always deal with drop shippers, hence by letting the seller know there are dif addresses he wont see multiple orders and simply send to same address

well you have to change the address, they are dif buyers aren't they ?

[BigCJ]

OP, the gist of it is, it raises TOO many flags.
It is NOT recommended.

[a.v.limited]

can I then ask, if any of you drop ship, how would you do it ?

Doubt that people would necessarily detail how it's done but hey, if you're methods work for you, why change them? Unless you have lots of problems...

[a.v.limited]

I have had no issues, and its always worked

Then just stick with what works for you even though it does seem a bit flagged if you're just changing/adding addresses all the time

So far i have been using my seller account for dropshipping. I bought about 10 items so far and changed the address on checkout and had them shipped to those address's. Why is it not recommended to do this? it's not against the rules especially if i get permission from the seller. My biggest worry is having them send the items to one address.

[a.v.limited]

well these others guys don't recommend it, just a note I do actually use a buyer account to drop ship and ensure my seller account is safe

always easy to open buyer accounts afterall

[bigcasey123]

Unfortunately i can't open another account because the ebay rep told me i'm not allowed (remember i just got reinstated for having multiple accounts).

[a.v.limited]

well you can learn how to open an account in stealth mode by reading the forums if you so choose

Rep said that but you can go the stealth route and have as many accounts as you can operate.
