Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

For the Multiple Account Veterans:

What service do you use to print labels for your eBay and Amazon accounts?

I've got the email strategy set with Thunderbird, but logging into individual accounts to print labels is a pain in the ass.

I'm looking for the most cost-effective and convenient method available.

I've seen Shipstation recommended, but they are pricey, at 45 a month for eBay and Amazon accounts.

What do you guys use?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

in for answers.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

ShipStation. Seriously. YES, it is a little more expensive than most services, but the automation will BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES! What used to take me 3 hours a day now takes 30 minutes! They can even leave feedback for you. It is WONDERFUL!

I have tried other software programs and another service, but NOTHING came even close.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Can you be more specific on the "automation"?

I'm not doing 1000+ orders a month. I do between 100-250 orders a month, so I don't have all that much to "automate". I just don't want to login to 5 different accounts. As long as I can print everything from every account on ONE login, I'm happy.

Other software, like Teaplix, for example, claims to do this but for only 30 bucks a month, with unlimited accounts!

I just don't see the advantages. But that's why I'm asking this forum, because I've never used any of this shipping software.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Shipstation worked for me too. What he means by automation is that u can set it up to download orders from "those companies which shall not be named" , input details about ur packages, set to print and then it automatically puts back the tracking numbers into each order. U can automate other things just ask support about anything else u want automated.
The real problem is and I'd like to ask jeffweico....can u operate multiple accounts of ebay or amazon from sale Shipstation account or do I need a different account for each ebay/amazon?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Will parcel2go do this?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Sit to hear more

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Still nothing?? Hahaha!!

Someone help!!!!

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Bit the bullet and test it out

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Think I'm gonna have to do it by the end of this month with two of my smaller accounts....

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

ShipStation has been the huge success story this year. First, they got an endorsement from Mark Cuban. Then, much to the dismay of Endicia, they were bought out by Stamps.com - I don't know what the $$$ was, but I'm sure the owners became very, very wealthy. It seems that EVERYBODY has nothing but good things to say about ShipStation.

Everyone seems to be using them now, from us stealthers, to small eBay guys, to big companies.

In fact, I remember when they were a startup, hungry and begging for business. One of their people posted here that it might be good for stealth. So, I called them and spoke with them for about a half hour. It took me 3 more months before I signed up. But, WOW, was it worth it.

Now, I bet that guy wouldn't even return my call...

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Parcel2go has been mentioned before in this forum, wasn't someone else going to test them out and report back here?, this is the first time I have seen any mention of their service since then, so really we are still none the wiser about how good or dependable or good for stealth their service is.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

So will ship station be able to link all my eBay accounts without any issues?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Ok so ship station is only fur use in the USA

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Are you able to operate multiple accounts from a single user of Shipstation

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Ghostofamazon did you figure something out? did you try shipstation or teaplix? It would be amazing if I could run 10- 15 accounts and answer all emails and print labels without logging into each account. Just running 7 accounts became really time consuming so I decided to focus on 2-3 accounts. I used teaplix on my real account it was great. I wanted to setup a new teaplix for one of my accounts today because it was going really well and decent amount of orders but the eBay was restricted today

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Teaplix is good, but you need to swap browsers/IP/User accounts/etc for each and every account (only when you FIRST ADD)

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

you need to do that with all API account managing/automating software

token lasts for one year

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

I use inkfrog and stamps.com. Inkfrog uses token to connect ebay and amazon, which seems very stable so far.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

I hate Stamps.com, plus they are very unreliable/unstable. They were down during the Christmas rush a couple years back....

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Anyone got an UK ideas yet?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

If you are using Endicia like myself then you will be forced to use stamps soon. Stamp.com bought out Endicia.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

It isn't over until the fat lady sings...

The US still has to decide if it violates Monopoly laws....which it probably does. Endicia is the only other online USPS postage provider.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

I have been using Shipstation for 2 years now with over 200 accounts in total. There was not a single issue with account relation. I have confirmed that with them and tested it many times, so it is safe for eBay and Amazon.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

if we have multi account link to shipstation, that means the same IP send rquest for multi account. Will ebay/amazon link all the account together?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Just login to the correct corresponding User Account / IP address for each account you add and you'll be fine.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

I use Endicia (Dazzle) to handle all my eBay accounts. I only have one Encidia account that I use with all my eBay accounts. It's downloaded on all my user name profiles so all I have to do is open the program and it's ready.

It will also automatically import the tracking information into both eBay and paypal.

I still have to copy and paste the address into my shipping label with Endicia, but I'm going to call support to see how I can automate this.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

So the bottom line what is a good reliable shipping program for multiple stealth accounts?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Teaplixx :thumb:

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Endicia works great! Only $9.95/month.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Is there something in the setting where you can set Dazzle to auto upload the tracking numbers?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

If there is I have not found it. Right now I have to click the option every time I print a label automatically upload it.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Are these shipping softwares (like shipstation, linnworkds) OK to keep all the accounts unlinked with each other?

Are you not compromising your stealth identities? If not what is the logic/argument behind this?

Please share opinion?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Read the thread above....

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

inkfrog is awsome! i have all my ebays on it i am waiting for az accounts to be on it-cant wait!

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

I got different answers from different people. Some said he has been using Shipstation with over 200 accounts and he is still fine. Some gave a thumb up with Teapplix. So could anyone please give me an advice which program should I use to make everything simple without being linked? Is it Teapplix or Shipstation?

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

Shipstation still works for us in the US.

Re: Running Multiple eBay/Amazon Accounts: Shipping Strategy
 

The one drawback on shipstation I didn't like is that u have to charge your credit card right away, whereas in PayPal u can just use the pay later option. Tho, u have to record all your ip. If u do lots of shipping, it can limit your credit line really fast. Just have to balance the benefits and cons for both side.
