Holiday for a week, help running eBay
 

Hi everyone,
In a couple of days I am going to england for a couple of days (whilst im there will probably make a couple of stealth accs too),

Obviously logging into my spanish registered accounts would be a bad idea? due to the IP issue.

So I decided to stop selling whilst im on holiday, but I will have lots of questions and messages I will need to answer.

My questions is: Can I log onto the GMail accounts to each account, and reply to the messages through gMail by clicking reply. I know it can be done, but I dont know if this would raise a flag? as the message is being sent through gmail and not eBay?

Any tips,, advice and help is needed and much appreciated, thanks

I recently took a 4 day weekend trip to Canada. What I did was turn on Gmail's auto responder with a message stating I was out of the office....blah, blah. I wanted to continue to sell while I was away so I changed the handling time on all my listings to 2 business days. Returned home late Sunday night, got up bright and early Monday and shipped 185 items. Got to love making some good cash while on vacation.

haah sounds good mate, but Im actually going for a week!, but can I not respond within gmail then?, if i reset the ip for each different account, only problem being that the IP is english, for a spanish account, but I will not be logging in directly to any ebay or paypal account whatsoever, as i know that is too risky... wha do you think?

It's fine as long as the reply is going directly to the customer, as in, customersname@theirdomain.com - not ebay.com or paypal.com

You can reply to @yahoo.com pop3 accounts, sure. Just not to ebay messages. Those are mostly do not reply inboxes...

What I did was list BIN on Monday and in the listing I put 5 day handling time and wrote " all items will be shipped on Saturday morning priority mail free of charge"

They sold all week with instant payments, I got up early Saturday and packaged and shipped 300 packages, did this 2 weeks in a row, no complaints, no questions , worked great

I did this on 2 of my aged accounts and made sure to write that shipping would be on the weekend , I used a large font with red letters so it couldn't be missed

thankis guys!
