How to tell which Shipping Label is for which item?

Versace1212 · #23 04-20-2016

Nothing. I basically use stamps to print labels in the beginning when there is no money in PayPal and then after I've created sales and have money in PayPal print my labels with eBay and PayPal only. Just wondering if it's safe that way. I was skeptical using shipnation having 8+ accounts because of its link risk and cost.

If you are shipping off of ebay, just print every label from the begging using the pay later option.
No need to use stamps at all and waste money on a service if you are printing off ebay.

VA staff can handle most of that but now I eliminated most of that with shipstation.

Orders arrive, someone ships and nobody is logging in and out of accounts other than who is selling/listing.

If you had say 50 eBay accounts, how would you upload tracking to each eBay account without logging into those accounts? Is there a way to do this with ship station?

Yankee, I read one of your posts, don't remember which, you said you had an amazon account deleted after like an hour or day or whatever. You said you couldn't figure it out. Forgot which thread it was. You said you had new iPad, att store setup everything. Maybe ship station was the link?

I have only used ship station since Feburary 11th 2016 after reading countless reviews on this forum from people.

Many many many of us use shipstation, inkfrog, auctiva for many many years with no link. It is tokens. It is impossible to link. Nothing new and well proven over years.

Shipstation automatically sends ebay, amazon, etc....the tracking numbers.

Basically, when you log in, on the right hand upper corner a button says, Update all stores. You click on it, it pulls all orders from all accounts.

You then ship from one place ALL items. Once USPS, FEDEX OR UPS labels are created, tracking instantly is sent to each account.

You can batch print every item in a couple clicks one you have weights and details saved. I just printed 14 orders while typing this just now... Each label also has an attached invoice. It is lovely!

Hmmm, I'm wondering if there could be a possible link tho. Maybe they have a Dedicated IP 66.xx.xxx.xx or whatvers that lets eBay and amazon that yes this is Shipstation and we have thousands of your customer accounts, so these two are not related.

I keep 3 or 4 vm's running as I'm going through accounts so I don't have to wait on them to boot up. Pretty simple solution to that problem, lol. I spend a few hours every week keeping up with inventory and placing orders for more.. is it really that time consuming for you?

We have a few products we sell 50+ daily of and I find filling the same order over and over again boring, so I outsource that part. lol.

But every business is different for sure. Not trying to talk down about your way of doing things.

It has been explained dozens of times if not hundreds of times on this forum about tokens and why they are safe.

Just search auctiva, inkfrog or shipstation. You will not find a single report of a link.

Man, if there is no risk with ship station I need to try it. It sounds fantastic! Just a question, I here you guys putting up some really good sales "50+ a day" ect. If you're going stealth with those kinda numbers I'm sure you hit the 200/20k pretty fast and I'm sure you guys have a ton of backup accounts in your back pocket so that means you guys have LLC's attached to all the ones running strong?

I have 4 registered LLC's, meaning 4 business accounts with virtually unlimited selling limits. Then I have a little over 20 accounts I rotate through throughout the year which I keep under the tax threshold.

One of my best listings has:

As above a mix of EIN accounts and pure stealth accounts.
