Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

I recently moved to a quieter area as I do ebay from home and can do it anywhere, so wanted a bit more peice and quiet.

However not completely happy, so have been looking at going somewere else.

How possible is it to set up and run ebay uk successfully in Cyprus or Turkey for example?

Obviously I'd make sure all bank accounts were set up, and registered to a mail forwarding address prior to going.

Is it really as simple as a VPS and a VOIP telephone from voipfone?

Brother did nine months from Turkey, over one year from Spain and got asked to leave Cyprus.

( well nearly).....

If you do the right leg-work, list correctly, then it's doable. Have to stress you need to prepare very well.

Use 24vc for your IP situation, can work well working from abroad - just make sure your IP situation is sorted and use SOHO66 to forward to your mobile.

Contingency plans are crucial though as GB stated.

Why's that? Why was he asked to leave, if I may ask.

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

Hi Callidus, can you please elaborate about 24vc?

I am under the impression that they offer shared IPs, which can overlap and result in using identical IPs, which is not good for us stealthers.

Thanks.

Using VPN is a good idea whilst overseas. Make sure you use a company with a server in your desired country.

I have been using VPN and VPS for years with zero issues as far as I am aware

Thanks for the input Sax4.

Do you keep a log of your IP addresses?

Can you tell if you ever get an IP address that you previously used?

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

No, you are confusing the steallar service of 2evc with another company.

Right, I'll look into this, thanks!

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

I am quite religious about recording IP's although I reuse one every now and again. Reusing an IP with another account isn't an instant death sentence, but try not too obviously

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

This is 100% correct, a repeat of an IP....say 2-4 months apart will not cause major issues, the last repeat I had was 5 months apart and zero issues.

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

Not too complicated with reading and setup plan

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

Thanks all (apart from rsot and his pointless post)

I'm going to go on an extended 4 week holiday/vacation and see how things go. If I hit no issues and can still make the same £££ then it's laying on a deck chair with an efes beer on my laptop.

Got to make sure things in the UK are easily manageable without me being here to deal with the problems if and when they occur.

Best of luck in your endeavours

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

are you sending the goods from cyprus too? suppose the different shipping costs and times might be relevant....

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

Location independent!! Its the way to go! :)

I beat my competitors in UK because I can make less profit than them and I'm living the dream!

Watch out for the Turkish hawkers on the beach though, they'll be trying to sell you a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ Rolex every 5 minutes

I'm sure he's not

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

OP prolly dropships or use fulfillment centres in the UK I presume.

That's what I would do!

Re: Going to Cyprus and running uk accounts
 

Yes Dropshipping works well whilst being mobile or having someone in your home country working with you.
