Profit Scraper - multiple accounts?
 

Just a quick question for any of you that use Profit Scraper to find products to list for Amazon/Ebay product arbitrage...

Have you had any issues with linking when adding multiple ebay accounts to a single subscription of the software?

I have asked the owner of the software and this was his response:

"All accounts are accessed via eBay's API with the same server IP address so in that sense yes they could be linked, but this is no different than you sitting in starbucks with 10 other eBay users accessing your accounts at the same time."

Does this mean it is the same type of deal as Inkfrog, where Inkfrog's IP that makes any changes is the same for every single Inkfrog customer, making it unable to be used as a form of linking?

Apologies if his response already answers my question, thought it was worth double checking before linking anything up.

Thanks in advance.

What would be the point of the risk of getting linked?

Look for other methods.

:eek:

The software allows you to scrape other sellers on Ebay, then select all of their best selling items.

I'm looking for a way to automate things and this is absolutely perfect for my needs, if there is no issue with linking that is. Not only does it find the items, list the items, reprices, updates stocks, auto orders on amazon etc.

I could just use it to find the products then manually add each one but this seems crazy when you can just bulk upload with one click all of the selected products.

And the source of bulk upload would be what? I mean for photos...

I've just taken a quick look at one of the listings which I bulk uploaded using Profit Scraper...

After looking at the source code on one of my ebay listings, it seems the images it inserts into the description are hotlinked straight from the amazon product page. I've just compared the links of two different amazon product image URL's and they are all exactly the same other than the file name.

Here's an example of an amazon image url:
