Operating a eB.ca account from the US

JJGold · #1 02-02-2012

January is over and I've received SSN requests for the 3 US accounts I have that can sell more than 10 items per month. I'm trying to find a solution to the SSN problem on my US stealth accounts. I have access to a legit eB.ca account that I would like to operate from the US and have a couple of questions. (ie. eB.ca listing on eB.com)

Without using a VPN/VPS, I plan on using Inkfrog or Auctiva to administer my auctions. The items are located in the US and would need to be shipped from here as well. How can I ship from the US and have the tracking info uploaded to eB without logging into eB or PP?

Thanks.

I use stamp.com so if you used that for shipping with tracking I believe you can put the shipping info into auctiva.

I need to ship items located in the US to the US from a Canadian eBay account. Any tips? Thanks.,

I say you just try to use the Canadian account from your US IP address... Maybe change the ship from location to your actual shipping location. Or put in the auction the actual required time for shipping from the US to Canada...

Hmm, really? 95% of my items will be shipped within the US, as the main reason for the Canadian eB & PP account is a work around on having to provide a SS number.

Thanks.

Have you tried just using the account like it's any other account? ebay.ca listings show up on ebay.com too...

I guess I'm trying to make sure I've got everything covered before I try anything. This is not a stealth account, it's a verified, public records, etc Canadian eB & PP account so I don't want to mess it up. I'm a little concerned eB & PP may wonder why an account from Canada is being run/administered from a location 1,000 miles south.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate your comments.

I have shipped from the US with my eb.ca accounts using Usps with no problems in the past - sometimes I have been in NY
