Managing multiple accounts
 

Lets say I got 20 stealth accounts and need to update shipping for each of the accounts every day.
What is the best way to operate with those accounts?
At the moment I switch user accounts and change IP's each time I want to do a simple action in every account like update shipping, upload listings and answering messages.
It means that I need to change my IP and switch user accounts 20 times a day! It wastes me a lot of time to switch my modem on and off and switching user accounts.

Is there any better way to do it?
I've read there about 3rd party software like Inkfrog open and Auctiva, but I didn't understand how does it work and how to operate with them.
Can someone explain it to me?

Thanks you.

Re: Managing multiple accounts
 

Logging in and out of each account really is the best way to operate.

Its worth searching the forum for InFrog and Auctiva. There are a few other 3rd party software as well. None of them a perfect mind you

Itay, operating stealth accounts is a very time consuming process. Good luck !

What I do is use 24vc fresh plan for all my stealth accounts, it does cost a lot of money per month $18 per account if you have over 7. But as long as I make more then what I spend I'm fine with that.

All I have to do is click "connect" and bam I have a new ip and everything ready to go. No need to hassel with modems or anything.

Auctiva works really well, use the $2.95 plan, updates shipping details to EB. I run through 30 or so and print my labels every morning. Only have to log in to my accounts once or twice a week.

you got to do it under different ip and different computer account. I manage about 6 wihtout issue.

Thanks you guys!
I found Inkfrog open as the best option because I can answer ebay messages through it, and it's free.
What do you think about it?

There's another thread about inkfrog open, the service hasn't been around very long, nobody is sure about long terms risks, I'm going to let other people take the chance up front and give it 6 months or more to see if it's going to work out for them. :)
