Multiple Accounts, IP Addresses, Keeping Everything Separate

[Jeak Custoe]

I realize there are likely answers to what I'm about to put up here in the subscribed members only section. At the moment I'm not subscribed and would like to put a bit about my experience on here and see what others think.

At the moment I have 4 ebay//paypal accounts running. They have been going well and 3 of them are 2+ years old. I've run each of them in separate coffee shops in my town to ensure a separate IP address is connected to each. Also the separate user ID's in my computer to ensure separate cookies etc. I do have a buyer only ebay account that I use at my home through cable internet.

In the future I'd like to add a couple more ebay//paypal seller accounts. And it would be great to be able to do some of the work for these accounts from home (its a real pain to have to go to a coffee shop 3+times a week, especially when someone just needs a question answered or 1 item needs shipping). Is there an easy way to be able to access these accounts from home without risking linking them all? My cable internet is wireless and I share it with other peeps, so it would be difficult and suspicious to have to reset the modem constantly. I have used dialup in the past as a work around. But it is tedious and slow to use.. and the numbers are limited in my area. Anyone have any solutions to this? I wouldn't be doing any listing or transferring money via paypal this way... it would strictly be for answering messages and getting stuff shipped. But these accounts are extremely valuable to me and I'd rather not learn through error what works and what doesn't.

And again, for the VIP's who are going to tell me to read the forums.. please keep in mind that some of this forum isn't accessible to me at this time since I'm not a paying member.

I have multiple ways to get multiple IP's but you may benefit from purchasing a USB Mobile Internet device. I bought a new Virgin U600 for $20 or so and your pay monthly $35 with no contract. It uses the Sprint network and you can toggle between 3g and 4g if available. 3g will give you almost unlimited IP's but it can be painfully slow.

LOG ALL YOUR IP's and don't reuse them on other accounts.

That would be absolute hell IMO... I have no idea how you could possibly stand doing that for 2+ years.

I run 20+ selling account per week, items end of different days etc so I am not hammered in one day.

I use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of ip's.

I rotate another new batch of 20 or more then following week to sell on.

Good records is a must.

Easy to keep separate.

Mozilla thunderbird is a godsend. You can even export your configs to other machines, check 11 accounts at work and 11 at home. Good for shipping out half my stock is in my desk at work.

I dont need to use it but some surely will.

Excel spreadsheet works like a charm.

Excel and Google drive are the 2 keys

Hi

I see you talk about GOOGLE DRIVE? i take a look on google ..

How you can use that application to manage multiple account?? Google drive is not just for manage data, vidéo and saongs etc ...??

I look too after a solution "ALL IN ONE" to manage my accounts from one laptop like VPS.

Actually i work with ProVPN and user session and a few laptops, it works fine for now but hard to manage like this with 4 - 5 diffrents computers and so many sessions...

I heard of the VPS option, but i m still hurted to the IP question...

I m from Belgium , and i can t fin a Belgian IP VPS server offer on the web ...

If someone could help , should be greeeaaat :P
