how to check sales of your stealth from your main user account

[inneedofhelp]

What is the easiest way from your normal user account, to check if you've made any sale on your stealth account?
I thought about googling my eBay Stealth account name and watch the number of items I have for sale. If it's the same, no sales.
I wonder if ebay gets suspicious if I do those checking from my main username where I have my main ebay account.
cheers

Epic fail plan, you must keep number alive for the life of the account.

Then I will certainly keep checking it.

I was just asking if from the main user account of my computer I can check my eBay Stealth account, just googling it and seeing if the number of items is still the same. And if ebay gets suspicious for this checking, even if I do not enter the account.

Umm, do you not have access to your email? I don't understand what the issue is? Go check your email.

Exactly - email can be checked.

OP is making things difficult unless, like his phone number, he has no access to the e-mail...?

You can download a program like Mozilla thunderbird, and add all of your email address, so you can check when you have any sales or messages to get to. That way you only have to log in when you need to.

Right. I have to add it to my main email address. I think I was told that I have to remove the image view, because they can track you from that.

You can verify this yourself if you care to. Go to one of your emails from eBay with an image, right click the image, and click "view image info" or "copy image location". If you're using Gmail you'll find eBay's image has been rehosted on a Google proxy server. Since the image has been rehosted by Google, eBay doesn't get any information about you when your view the email (because the image is no longer coming from an eBay server)

Example:



With that being said it's perfectly safe to have all of your stealth account email accounts linked to one email client on your cell phone.

Thanks for that.

But again I was just wondering if seeing the page of my account (without entering it) and check if the number of items is still the same, could be a way. And if ebay gets suspicious for this type checking.

Jesus, you don't have to check every second you know... What are you? Jeff Bezos?

Just forward all your emailed to a single email account and then check that now and then

Any sales will then appear in there

You do need to make sure to not reply to any emails via the account that emails have been forwarded to though!

By the way. Checking my stealth account from my main user account, made ebay send me an email about one of the items I'm selling, asking if I was still interested...I guess it's better not doing it again..

I mean, if you're stealth, it shouldn't be a problem. If you're looking at items, of course they are going to send you an email asking if you still want the item. Doesn't mean it's linked tho.

[JamesNorth101]

By main user account do you mean your main eBay account?

User accounts are the user accounts themselves on the PC not the eBay account usually so its a bit confusing

If you have looked at an item on eBay account 2 from eBay account 1 then its normal that they will send eBay account 1 an email

The way I do it is through my Gmail. I can have all of my gmails logged in at the same time and I just click over and look at how many sold email I have gotten from eBay, but I don't open them. I've read that it's ok to do so, but I prefer not to risk it.

[dallis]

I have all my gmails 'copy to' a single gmail aggregate account. I can see if I sold anything anywhere there.

Of you can use Auctiva or one of the other services and log in via that third party and check that way.

This one's a no brainer. If it seems hard, you're doing it wrong.

Seems like you're set OP
