Anyone use them for their ebay accounts?

I'm trying to work harder on my websites as I want to be more 'passive income' only within the next couple of years. Spending 30 odd hours a week on that,20-30 hours sorting my ebay accounts out and another 10-20 hours that I wouldn't really call work but stressed/procrastinating/chatting with suppliers. Definitely don't want to work more hours, want to be working less soon.

So I can't grow my ebay sales, options are either:

1. not grow them lol

2. use a virtual assistant, already have one doing stuff for my websites, don't have a problem with teaching them the stealth aspect, more concerned that they could run away with a big chunk of money. Would also need loads of vpns, more money but also seems like a extra headache

3. use a family member, problem being I still wouldn't really feel comfortable about having the chat of 'oh yeah btw I've got 50 odd ebay accounts in random names/address' and I'd also have to pay them around £3k a month for them to want to do it as they already have decent/more stable jobs.

Number 3, I've dwelled on this problem myself

I went with #3 to do most boring / repetitive parts of my business. I could get someone cheaper in 3rd world but for the risk involved. I do not want someone never meet before having access to admin end of my money making sites. So its money well spent fire relative and if they have problems they in next room.
