UK eBay & PaypalGeneral discussions about eBay.co.uk Suspensions and Paypal.co.uk limited accounts. This forum is geared towards UK eBay & Paypal sellers.
I know this has been brought up over and over again - however, mixed advice and responses.
I am going to Greece for two weeks in September and would like to run my stealth's whilst abroad - I have a worker back home who can despatch goods.
The two accounts I would be using are my two main accounts which are very well established and in genuine details (however run using stealth methods).
I see my options as either tethering from my iphone, where I am going has 3G and my mobile plan has unlimited usage for no extra charge in Europe. Or use two separate wifi connections - one for each stealth whilst away
Please let me know experience/thoughts on this. IMO I run all my EB accounts as an average ebayer would do and I can see many other ebayers logging into their ebay accounts whilst abroad so I do not see this as much of a problem. What do you guys think.
Thanks
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
Hard to say if you will have problems or not. Hopefully they can still see the cookies on the comp are yours. Then again one issue might be that you have multiple accounts that are being logged in from Greece all of a sudden, if they have any other similarities, ie items you are selling, then there is a chance you could be linked.
From a logging in point of you Greece should be ok, I don't think it will raise red flags(unlike the country I'm in)

It will only be 2 accounts so not doing loads. Products being sold are completely different and both 100% legit. I will update the post when I am back to let people know of any issues.
When tethering your iPhone in a foreign country you are paying a fee for using there cell tower, which means you will have a foreign IP (in your case it's free as your provider gives you unlimited data abroad).
My solution is to purchase UK VPS with two Dedicated IP address' install openVPN server and use openVPN client on two seperate user accounts you accounts are located.
That way on each account you use the speedy greek wifi - Whizz open openVPN and you will have your dedicated UK fast VPS IP anywhere in the world.
In the future when you have hundreds of accounts with unlimited allowance, you can manage your accounts from Dubai using this method and have your worker shipping out.

Your other option would be to close up for the vacation period.
It has merit in that there is no worries of parcels etch being lost or needing to contact paypal/ebay from overseas & therefore a foreign IP.
Just another point to consider....

Just thought I would update the thread. I'm currently sat in Kos and I am managing to run my stealth accounts so far using UK VPS's with Dedicated IP's costing me £15 for the month per account which i think is reasonable. So yeah! It works fine, and when I check the IP location on an IPCHECKER, it thinks I am in UK.
UK Stealth using abroad in Greece!?!?
