What do you do when travelling abroad?

[JamesNorth101]

In the UK you can use a MiFi or VPN
Overseas you must use a VPN

Yeah that's exactly what I thought. Thanks again.

I have an easy solution, how about enjoy being abroad and take a break from stealth. Or just schedule your listings to end when you arrive back home.

Enjoy your surroundings and the atmosphere abroad, its not everyday one gets to travel to different places. Life is short, enjoy it!

If you have someone shipping your items while away etc...then your main concern is answering questions? If so, reply directly with email and don't log into accounts while traveling.

For someone who has 80 accounts that seems a lot of fiddling about.

How do you change Mifi IP from TeamViewer?

How crucial is it that when you are on holiday you want to access your accounts and work? I have always shut down in the past and taken the time out...

I wouldn't want to risk any hiccups with good accounts just so I could access them abroad.

Lets be honest for the time you'll go away it probably is more hassle then its worth.

If you do it use VPNs probably 24vc - there are some other solid companies out there but using the first lot of pages on Google isn't going to be helpful to the accounts.

I'd just set the dispatch time long and second class. refund any disputes when you get back.

Could use a cheaper VPN but still a waste of money if you're not selling a lot

[JamesNorth101]

Cheaper VPN could lead to the account being limited so not really worth it

eBay messages can easily be replied to directly via email if using Gmail which is always really handy

Yeah, I have someone who can dispatch for me but what about marking all items as dispatched?

Well for example, on my Verizon Mifi you can log into the Mifi and disconnect and reconnect all from the same portal.

You would try to never do that, ie use a foreign IP.

We had a US user who went to the trouble of contacting ebay/paypal to advise he was going to be travelling in China.
He even got acknowledgement from them that everything was fine.

First sign on, he got limited and had massive issues getting the account restored by paypal.


I had issues last year with TeamViewer. An error was made during the remote set up.....facepalm!

I would go for enjoying the break. In fact at Christmas, we close the shops and put them on vacation.

It is about control, and keeping the upper hand.

you know, i wish i could travel all the time. especially abroad. ill be going on my first vacation this summer since i think 2006.

Short of emailing every customer, the VPN option seems the best to me

Are there any VPN's that would show ebay a Fresh IP every time? 24vc looks solid but expensive..

[vetus]

24vc is without a doubt your best option

They are only about £10 a month so it's not all that expensive.

The service they they provide is absolutely top notch though

Solid means quality.

Why worry about expense?

Because you need a 24vc account for each stealth account ?

Each account cannot handle it's own expense for ip, phone, credit card maintenance every month?

Hi MM78
Which Mifi/Dongle are you using? I tried this on Verizon Mifi but the ip doesn't change after disconnecting

You do understand that both Express & Nord are extremely destroyed VPNs? They are practically raped in terms of using them for PayPal, you're gonna get hit with transfer delays and your account is gonna be tight.

ive accessed my accouunt on my app from abroad, never had a problem
