Account closed need some advise
 

Hi Firstly apologies for these questions as I know they have beeen answered at some point...

Ok so my ebay account with 50k feedback has just been shut down suddenly, the reason given was i did not meet the new standards, however as of this month i was due to be above standard !

that aside this has hapened before with my other account at 46k

So I am going to try out this stealth method ...

I just have a few questions

1,If i set up 4 accounts can they all link to one central paypal account ?
2, Will i need to log into each account daily to reply to messages or do you guys use software for this ?
3, how do i control stock as i will sell the same products over each account ?
can i use channel grabber or such like ?

any other advise would be good as i have 3k of stock and NO sales channels !!!

Re: Account closed need some advise
 

Thanks for the question and welcome to the forum. Permit me to help as I was helped when I first started out on this forum. I wont go into the nitty gritty but I will just tell you straight up the best things to do.

You asked:
1,If i set up 4 accounts can they all link to one central paypal account ?
Answer: Dont link two accounts to same paypal, talkless of 4. Reason, 1 goes down, all will go down. So, its not worth it.

2, Will i need to log into each account daily to reply to messages or do you guys use software for this ?

Yes and No.. You can login to each account daily to rely to messages. You can just login to your email... glance through the headline without opening the email itself and if its worth reading, then just go ahead to login to the ebay.. opening the email everyday might be a risk of getting linked.
Alternatively, you can always login to each email through their stealth account. E.g you will only check email X through stealth account X.
You can use email aggregator tool such as thunderbird to collect all your email s and view easily (I never did this).
Fact: I am comfortably login into each of my ebay everyday.. after all, I wanna check if I have made some money. Sometimes, I can login to an account just once a day because all my items are dispatched within 5 working days so there is no rush to login multiple times daily, unless I want to list or I have the energy and feel like login in as I wish.

3, how do i control stock as i will sell the same products over each account ?
can i use channel grabber or such like ?

I will teach you my way.
I leave in a 4 bedroom so, one of the rooms is my warehouse. I have this milk cartons, loads of them I collected free from a carehouse. I label each carton with No 1 to like 50 or so. In each carton are my stock. Then I list all items that are available in each of the cartons in a excel sheet. I have a column for Carton no and quantity of that specific item in that carton. E.g Candle (21a(3),35c(4). This means there are 3 candles in carton number 21a and 4 in carton number 35c.

From the above scenario, I can have candle listed in as many of my ebay account as possible but I ensure that the total quantity listed in any ebay account does not exceed the total quantity I have in stock, in this case, I have 7 candles in stock. If I sell 2 candle, I will update the excel sheet accordingly and also go to each of the ebay accounts where candle is listed and update the quantities.

I can understand there are software to do the above but that is how I work around it. It works for me and it can work for you too.

Further to the above.
Things you didn't ask. You need to read stealth in order to learn how to cover your track so each of your account does not leave a finger print behind that could link them together cause if you mistakenly linked 2 accounts together, its just as good as having 1 account.

Best to use dedicated ip for each of your account. If you still dont know how to avoid linkage. Just use different computers with diff dedicated Ips. Simple as that.. oh not so simple. Just read the stealth first

You can, but do not sell the same products across each account. All those ebay accounts must sell different products.

Product a on account 1
Product b on account 2
Product c on account 3
Product d on account 4

All linked to paypal account 1.

Make sure all ebay accounts are in the same name/business name, as they will link you if you are using one paypal account for those 4 accounts.

If you are spreading sales for products you sell that are all mainly same, your better off creating 1 ebay account per 1 paypal account.

Dipping two legs in the river at the same time.
But whats the point that I dont see? You just linked 4 accounts. Could be understandable if you were linking them for spreading sales and as you pointed out its not worth it either. Instead of product a on account 1. Why dont you just create several categories on 1 account and save 3 accounts to fight and die another day.
