Multiple Stealth Accounts selling same product
 

Hello all hope you’re well and good

My question is would it be too risky to sell the same exact product on about 9 different stealth accounts without getting suspended by PayPal / eBay

Of course different images would be used, different product descriptions, titles etc and exif cleaner to clean the photos

But can I do this simultaneously without getting suspended

Furthermore let’s just say I log in to 2 different stealth accounts at the same time (obviously on separate devices with separate IP) would this cause linking

Really hope someone could answer this question

Thank you

I do this on my stealth accounts. Same products but different accounts. As long as you don't cause any IP linking, you should be fine.

Thanks for that

Shouldn't carry a stealth-related risk if there aren't similarities that make you look like the same user. The only risk I see here is an economic one. Except this is a highly sought after product with low competition; you'd be using your accounts below their potentials. 2 - 3 accounts are fine to cart away enough sales in your intended category, but 9 accounts? I really don't know.


Even better


Absolutely as long as you simulate a different seller for each account (which is incredibly difficult to do completely) then you're fine to carry along.
In addition to the techniques you've listed above to make your listings differ, you can appear even more different by going extreme: Different postage options, dispatch times, dispatch cut-off times.
If you use RM business account, don't scan tracking at the Post office even if it's guaranteed delivery. Dump it in the bag and it will be scanned on delivery so eBay will never find out your posting location.


It shouldn't. On the contrary, if your accounts get manually reviewed and you have created a pattern, then who knows if this might appear suspicious to eBay.
If you set your cutoff times between 7 am -11 am spread across all accounts for example. Then you can randomly process sales for that day, for any accounts that have surpassed the cutoff time. That way, you do not create a pattern.

Setting your cut-off time too early carries a risk of losing your search position and also "Fast & Free" badge later in the day, but if you have 9 well-run accounts, I wouldn't be worried.


Good luck and I hope you do well.

Thank you very much Pandora’s Box for your response

They are 9 decent accounts but not yet PayPal unlimited (docs not submitted)

That’s the only killer when it comes to stealth but that’s a topic for another time

Thank you for your response it’s greatly appreciated

I sell the same product from 70 accounts, same photos, same description, same title. Had many bans already mc011, random suspensions but never got linked
