how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

I am planning on running 10 ebay stealths but have a few questions..

1. How do you manage all of them in terms of Ip Address?

I was thinking dialup spoof mac address through each user account / vmware

2. What about address for returns?

should I open like 10 mailboxes all from different locations?
I am trying to find the most cost effective approach....

1 - You can either track your IP (if you have a dynamic home internet connection or dongle/tethering ability) or look at using a decent US VPN

2 - Rentable mail boxes work for this. A lot of sellers will also just issue a refund and not ask for the item to be returned. It’s down to what works best for you really

Best thing to do is do things properly first, and then look at cutting down costs.

1. Just write down your IP address each time you log in to a user account and make sure you don't use that same IP with a different user account.

2. That's the problem for everyone. My approach is to avoid return as possible, since I only sell merchandise that only cost a few bucks, returns are not my main concern.

Whatever method you use to get IP's you need to LOG those IP's and Cross-refrence each IP against used IP's.

With Dialup there's no need to spoof your Mac Address.

Ideally you should have access to the address your using...If you don't then your going to want to make sure that the customer sends you the item back to an address you do have access to.

Mailboxes are an excellent method....I would suggest you start out with maybe 1-3 and build up those accounts before opening mailboxes.

Another issue if I have say 20 plus ebay accounts how do I withdraw the money? 20 different banks?

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

20 different bank accounts would be best. You can get multiple accounts at each bank. Four banks with five accounts each would work. Bank accounts are the best way to get your money out in the US.

Trying to transfer to another PayPal will risk getting linked.

Ideally yes

i just recently opened a bank of america checking account your saying i can open another 3 at the same bank if I wanted to? doesn't that raise any eyebrows like why does this guy have 4 checking accounts with us?

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

You can open savings accounts. Use the same routing number as the checking account. There shouldn't be any bank having a problem with One checking and three savings accounts.

ok so i will be setting up all my stealth accounts under dialup. I know uploading images to ebay is slow, and also downloading and printing labels can be slow....

if i use auctiva or inkfrog and upload all my batchedpurified images on there website and upload my listings to ebay from auctiva/inkfrog will i never get linked? I plan on using my regular cable internet on auctiva and log onto ebay to browse/history/answer messages from dialup the more intensive internet related stuff i was planning on using on auctiva/inkfrog.

Why use dialup at all?

What is the reason?

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

cheap and easy route to get tons of fresh ips? when you dial in with a new number you get a different ip address right? and aren't they all fresh? or could they have already been used?

dedicated ip addresses are not cheap.......

id rather just pay a monthly fee of 13 bucks for dialup rather than spend 300 plus a month for 20-30 dedicated ip addresses.

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

Mifi and phone tethering are great fast options and good speeds.

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

Need to spread out opening of accounts - over months and across bank institutions - I never keep all my accounts at one bank

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

each time you disconnect and reconnect you get a new ip address that is....dedicated?


doesn't it raise red flags everytime i reconnect with a new ip address with my ebay accounts versus reconnecting everytime with only 1 ip address....

also don't they see the mac address? from the laptop or the phones internet connection? if they see the mac address from the phone won't i need to change the mac address everytime also?

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

Most Mifi's and Phones will give you a fresh IP. For Phones, your gonna want to be on 4G for the best number of IP's, same goes for Mifi device.

If you want a dedicated IP for each account then get a VPN or VPS and No....It doesn't look weird logging into an account with different IP's.

No....and No.

i probably will end up using dialup and using auctiva with my broadband connection.

15 bucks a month sounds better with dialup services + auctiva monthly fees

i tried phone tethering to my laptop, did not work the pages won't seem to load.

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

I think phone tethering is great the problem is that when you connect your stuck with that ip address for 1 hour. So your on a 1 hour lease with the ip address. Then you can disconnect and they will give you a different ip address.

When I try to disconnect over and over again and reconnect it will give the same ip address for 1 hour.

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

Also when you disconnected after an hour and they give a new ip address it might be a duplicate so you have to wait another hour for another ip address

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

Are you putting your phone into airplane mode? I use phone tethering myself & i always get a different ip address. You have to either turn the phone off and on again or put it in airplane mode then back on to generate a new ip address.

Re: how can i run 10 ebay stealths?
 

to get better results with tethering, you can activate airplane mode off then on, and change your location, in my country I get total different IP from a street to anther

thanks
