eBay purchased accounts question

Madcam · #1 07-09-2020

Hi! I purchased 2 aged accounts from the same seller. I am using a VPN for one and a hotspot for the other, so I know they are not connected. I started using the accounts a couple weeks apart, but knowing that eBay is able to track so much, I was curious on the following (as I do not want to lose my investment on a silly mistake):

- I have been following the rules for both accounts. Spend several days "shopping", then place one item on for 7 day auction. My first auction just ended successfully so sub questions: 1) Do I have to wait until buyer receives the item to add the 2 new items, or can I do this when it shows the post office has the shipment? 2) For the next 2 items, can I drop ship one or both of them, or should I still stay with small items?

- Will eBay notice that these two accounts are run the same way? One was obviously used a couple weeks before the other, but they will both be handled the exact same way (as I do not know other ways to do drop-shipping or different eBay strategies).

Any advice will be very helpful!

You should ask your seller since he probably know best what works well with his accounts.

As for second question -- no way. There are tens of millions of accounts. Chances of ebay somehow determining that 2 accounts are 'run the same way' is close to zero.

If you are following stealth ebay has no way of knowing they are run by the same person, even if you are "running them the same way" (ie, scheduling things at the same time/same way). Make sure your pictures are different and it seems like a different person is selling on each account. Different people could have same schedules.

Don't recommend drop shipping early on.
