2015 - How many accounts do you run?

[jakobrockz]

I've seen some older threads and was just curious to see how many everyone else runs! I have 8 active accounts but 4 of them are very very small and starting out. I only created 3 of them and bought 5 of them.

Also, have you ever thought you've bought from a stealth account before? I was watching an item on a newer account until it was ended and had to search for it again. Found the same item with the same defects on a pretty solid account.. Both seemed to be following stealth procedures to an extent and I just thought it was so funny.

Just wondering

I have 35 accounts I rotate through on a 2 month cycle.
If one goes down another is added to the rotation. But that hasn't happened in a few years. Do things the proper stealth way and youll keep your accounts alive forever.

1 eBay account.

3 went down last year thanks to PayPal.

I still run my genuine eBay and Amazon though so I've not been trying very hard recently on stealth.

I have 6 ebay accounts & 7 Amazon accounts.
Trying my hardest to boost and create more this year!

I have 8 actively selling right now. I have about another 8 that I can turn into seller accounts at anytime.

Do you have employees or help? I only have 8 going and that in itself is a challenge, but then again I do ebay part time.

My exact question also^

I'm no where near needing help, yet.

Need more accounts with instant PayPal payment.

I'm thinking of opening a good amount of them.. selling one or two items and waiting the 90 days then start to sell again without the 21 day hold. Would this work?

Hundreds. And build more daily. I mostly start with 5/500's or 10/1000 and sell hard until paypal asks for the SSN, then I shut down an never enter the account again.

Working my accounts is simple:

List one day, print labels the next. Unless an issue, don't enter that account until funds are cleared, then not again until next month. I can list in 2 minutes an account, print a label a minute and move founds out of paypal in a few seconds. The average day I go into about 40 accounts.

Once you get a system down you run with it.
(I sell a product that Is pretty straight forward. Items price from 30-70, all similarly shaped and mailed in poly mailers.)

Martin, what is your IP method for the accounts? Signing into so many everyday, do you create new users per account or whats your method for that?

[Haidukken]

Some days too many, some days too few. Daily life of a stealther.

I use a mix of VPN and my local IP. Those on VPN use Dedicated IP per account.

I have 2 Amazon and 2 eBay accounts, but I have others aging still in the background. Looking to get into using them soon.
