What can I use to answer messages on multiple ebay accounts?
 

inkfrog and auctiva don't seem to have the option to send messages to buyers... is there any easy solution for this?

Thank you for the help.

pushauction

good luck

Logging into each account is not a viable option?

Switching IP's all the time is frustrating, especially when I want to give fast answers.

Is pushauction safe? ebay won't know my IP when I answer messages through it?

If jamcocktail has used this service, he seems to be wise on it - worth a shot.

Thanks rsot yes the pushauction is safe...I have other 20 accounts with them everything works great....

So how is it different then replying via gmail? Gmail's messages are sent from gmail's servers and don't reveal your IP the same way Pushauction's are sent from their servers.

it seems that they won't accept any more signups on PA3. I sent an email to them to see if this is really true. PA4 is really expensive. $15.00 per month per ebay account. Hence, 20 stealth accounts = $300.00 per month. This is crazy. Who are they targeting PA4 to, if true?

Does PA3 restricts updates once per hour? The free version of PA4 only allows you to sync with ebay once per hour and, it is very weird in terms of sync. Pricing, of course, makes it impossible to go for it. 20 stealth accounts X $15 = $300 per month.

I've been wondering this too.

I plan on having 10 accounts up & running soon and there's no way I could log in & out of user accounts on my computer, just to check the e-mails.

Someone mentioned to me that I could have all e-mails automatically forwarded to one, but then I wondered - If I opened them up, wouldn't they all just get linked at once? :S

I thought ebay's message system no longer allows you to reply to messages via gmail, so they get rejected.

Not sure about US, but this is still okay to do in the UK.

What about using Outlook and linking multiple gmail accounts to it? This is what I am using now. I have 10 gmail accounts lined to my outlook and so far so good.

Well, I tried pushauction but it isn't really good - messages show up with a 3 day delay.

However, I found out I can reply to message through my gmail account. So I guess that's gonna solve my problem.

I use Thunderbird to read my messages and then if one needs a reply I log into that user account.

I'm a dumbo where internet and apps etc is concerned so I like to keep it simple and sweet.

I check Thunderbird every two hours or so and deal with anything apertaining there and then.

Ebay is only part of my working life. I also have eggs from 6000 chickens to grade and pack, pigs to feed, thankfully the orphan lambs are now weened so life is getting a bit less hectic. Plus I like to ride at least once a day (weather permitting) Problems with emails I do not want and Thunderbird works great for me.

A really good member who we don't see now (shadyone) mentored me through it - like I said I'm dumb but Thunderbird works great for me

Hi TowelKing,

I'm developing an eBay seller tool.
I implemented "Reply to messages from multiple eBay accounts" feature.
This software is still beta, but if you are interested, please try it.

ListersIn - eBay Listing Software

Usage is here.

I want to build a useful tool for eBay sellers:)

Best regards

Excellent - hows the beta testing going?

There are still many bugs, I'm fixing them everyday.
But "Replying to message" feature should work rightly.

Good stuff - looking forward to it working out for you

listersIn hope to see a bug free version soon. there are alot of people here would test and give you feedback on the beta if necessary.

Thunderbird works good but I do what GrannyT does and just log in and reply but I do it every 5 hours instead as I don't sell as much.

would definitely test it out! good luck !

How exactly do you use Thunderbird? Is it explained on here anywhere? Would be very useful. Thanks
