Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

Any app that connects to eBay has to be authenticated - that process is referred to as obtaining a token.
The process simply redirects you to eBay, you login, and confirm that you want to link the app to eBay.

All you need to make sure is you approach this process in a certain way. Let me break it down for you:
A) If you login to your relevant eBay stealth account using your usual protocol, i.e. login to user account, check IP is unique, etc., then head over to the app website to link it to eBay - that's fine.

B) If you decide to go to the app website from any random user account, and start linking (and logging into) other eBay accounts, then you'll be linking all the eBay accounts together because your signing into all of them via the same browser.

P.S. You don't need a fresh IP to do this. Just make sure it's not a duplicate IP (one you've used before). You should be keeping a tab on those anyway.

Hope that answers your question. :thumb:

I use unique VPN IP per eBay account.
I have 5 accounts. So, do you mean, I have to login to each VPN, and then eBay account and link it to Inkforg? I have to do it per account. If I get this right.

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

If you already have a VPN your using, then you'd need to ensure the VPN for the relevant account is ON etc.

Your basically doing everything you would normally do when logging into your stealth account - usual protocol.

But in addition to that, you'll be going to inkfrog's website to link your ebay to inkfrog.

Hi Play, with Inkfrog where exactly do you click in settings to opt out of Inkfrog sharing your information with eBay. (Any chance of a screenshot?)

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

How do I safely add additional accounts to Inkfrog. I already logged into one of them to set up the account. Can I add them without being on each ones separate IP address? Thanks

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

You need to make sure that each time you generate a token then you have a new IP

Be careful when it comes to using IF for image hosting as the URL used to give away that they were all the same account account. This may have changed thought so it's worth double checking

What is a token?

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

When you link inkfrog to eBay it generates a token

That needs to be generated on a clean IP

Hmm, as a US seller I'm not sure if I should use Stamps.com or Shipstation, it seems that people aren't very sure if Shipstation links accounts yet.

Would anybody be able to advise for this matter?
I plan to run 15 accounts and I want to see which platforms I will be using so I can start getting familiar with it ASAP.

Is reply manager really save to process any return/case ? is that possible ebay can link our accs?

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

"Important Note - when you sign up, head over to settings and opt out of Inkfrog sharing your information with eBay. Also avoid using Inkfrogs' image management feature - upload your own images to eBay."

Where on settings is this?

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

I use Shipstation for about 10 accounts, no problems with linking.

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

Wondering if you, or anyone has the answer to this?

I started using inkfrog as well and am a bit worried because I couldn’t find this.

If it helps, I’m using inkfrog open

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

Thanks Play. Play is trusted and knowledgeable. he is one of the best.

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

Thank you, that means a lot.

All the best with managing your stealth accounts! :)

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

When I list from within inkfrog on new accounts I get suspended why? When I list on eBay with new accounts, it's fine. eBay detecting that all my accounts coming from same inkfrog?

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

You shouldn't use 3rd party apps right away. Its not something naturally a new seller would do.

Establish yourself a little before using such apps.

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

How long should I wait until using inkfrog?

Does inkfrog prompt you to phone verify before connecting to inkfrog?

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

I would wait until the account has established some ground. There's no magic number. At the very least i'd say once you've got 10 positive feedback from sales. But most certainly not a new account, that almost always leads to suspension.

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

Would I need to phone verify when the account is established linking to inkfrog?

Also, i can't seem to activate inkfrog from within the ebay app center anymore. it just goes pending forever. this was the easiest way to add accounts to inkfrog without going through pv

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

I did it a few times about 2 months back, and it required phone verification each time. Prior to that, I did it a few years back and it didn't. So it may be a new addition / security step.

Re: Guide / Tutorial on How to manage multiple stealth accounts efficiently
 

You mean you got to phone verify even with an established account to link to Ink frog?

Did you try linking from the ebay application center? You didn't need it before but looks like inkfrog app doesn't work anymore. It's the only app in the app center that doesn't activate and goes pending. Their customer support is ignoring the issue too
