O hai!
Just a quick one: How do you check the sales for each stealth account?
It's fairly easy if you have one, but if you have 20 or more and you DON'T use Vmware, then it can get a bit tricky to check them once or twice a day, with change of IP every single time. Right?
I'm just about to go live with my stealths and would it be OK to check for sales using gmail? Just set up notification so that I get an email if somebody sends me best offer or if an item has been sold.
I could then check the gmail accounts for my stealths and see IF I need to log into an account and then start with the whole IP changing etc.
basic rookie question, but still- Better safe than suspended! |
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!

I check them in my emails.
All my gmail accounts forward to 1 master gmail that I use to check sales, messages, payments ect. Just need to make sure images are disabled.

What do you do with your other accounts haidukk?, you are not just starting off with 20 or more accounts after all, you have been selling for ages.

It's only now that I'm going full Gung Ho with stealth approach because I figured if I can lose one account out of nowhere and get banned from eBay, it could happen again. I just didn't want to risk any downtimes when it comes to sales and my income.
Better safe and stable, than suspended and worrying about stock and money.
I might do the whole forwarding with Gmails, as it seems to be the most efficient way of dealing with it all.

I rotate sales to end on different days for different accounts so I have a schedule of logging in on various days going.

All of you lovely people, thanks a million. I've forwarded half of my emails already and will finish off the second half later on today.
I will also schedule my log ins for sales, as it seems to be a wise move. The same way I can't put my listings up all at once and same time, I'm not gonna start logging in the same way.
I feel like it's all coming together, lovely. |

Just started the mail forwarding last night. Alot easier then manually checking your posts by searching(logged out) or going from account to account only to realize you got no sales and wasted time and an IP. Is having desktop notifications on okay?

There are email notifications devices for sale now that notify when an email/emails received by flashing an LED light on the front of the unit.

Noob question:
Can I check my stealth emails on my banned IP address as long as I dont open any emails from ebay?? I probably won't even open any emails, I'm just looking for the "Congradulations, your item sold!" headline. Logging into each eBay account and finding out you have no sales/messages really sucks.

You can even open up the emails, just make sure that images and beacons are disabled and then make sure you do not click any links | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to JamesNorth101 For This Useful Post: | |

Final question,
This means I can have my 4 eBay Stealth gmail accounts on my iPhone and can reply to emails from each account indict visually without having to change any settings on my phone,

Personallly I feel for multi accounts, on a laptop/desktop, thunderbird/thunderbird portable is the bollocks. Set it up proper before you add your email accounts - ie. make all messasges in plain text, disable images, cookies etc. Just go through all the options (view and in settings) and adjust to suit your needs.
Thunderbird if fast, friendly and is perfect for 1-300+ accounts - tried and tested by me |
