Inkfrog, Auctivia, etc
 

Does anyone use a service like Inkfrog or Auctivia? I used to when I first started years and years ago but I had made a rookie mistake and all my accounts were shut down but it seemed like a good way to link all your accounts without being linked (if that makes sense) Just worked wonders as far as organization with your listings and sales go.

Now, if you only have a few stealth accounts then it wouldn't make any sense. But if you have a lot of accounts then it is something you have to consider. Or am I way off on this?

Maybe it is a sign of the times that are possibly less ebayers around now who have a large enough ebay empire to need inkfrog or auctiva.

I use it every single day. I only use Inkfrog. Not the free one as I don't really want to risk my accounts with that service. Inkfrog.open is completey different than Inkfrog in terms of developers and ownership.

For whatever reason it has a similar name though, words from a Inkfrog rep.

Have enough accounts that just changing the ip and user account to check on all of them feels like it takes forever, and time is money, I'm mostly using Auctiva with the $2.95 per month plan, I use the more expensive plan on very active accounts for when I travel, been doing it for 3-4 years.

Works fine, no links yet.

No idea about Inkfrog, but everyone says it works fine too.

I use both Inkfrog and Inkfrog.open and I haven't had issues.

Solefoodbk is right - they are two different things, but since Inkfrog.open is free, you can just make multiple accounts if you're really paranoid about linking with that. I love and use both almost daily for my personal accounts. It keeps things organized and saves a lot of time.

Just make sure that when you allow those services to connect to eBay you must be using a different, clean IP address because if you use the same IP when generating the token then that would definitely link you.
