Multi eBay accounts

PandaDaddy said:

that is not a bad survival rate, and people need to understand, they can read all the guru books they can here on BHW, it does not matter, your survival rate on new accounts will most likely be under 30%, and that is just the beginning ebay filter. Once you start selling, you will face first restriction, second restriction, going thru that will lower your overall survival rate to under 10%.

And then as if this is not enough, you still gotta sell products to generate profits. This is no easy task with the steep competition, ebay fees, do you have the right infrastructure to buy the right product with the right price and to deliver the products to your customers' doorstep within prescribed time. Finally but not least, you will need to deal with the bad reviews, returns & refunds, constant messages from buyers.

All in all, opening accounts is very small portion of the whole pie. So think twice before you devote your time, effort and $$ into this venture.

I think you are an expert in the field of drop shipping in general, and eBay in particular. Thank you for sharing the big picture of drop shipping work.
In reality, I have no other choice but to face this difficult situation. I hope to receive more of your insights and advice on brighter paths to take.

Sure, you can check out my ebay journey thread, there is a whole bunch of info there that has already been discussed.

When I started, I am deadset on opening accounts being my end game, it is because that is the only thing ppl here on bhw talked about, I almost felt like being able to open hundreds of account =$$$$$, but I was dead wrong (unless you are selling this accounts, I guess). You don't need hundreds of accounts, you don't even need 10, you only need 1-3 to make a good income.

There are many things that come after once your account survived the initial period. And this is actual the make-or-break of the business model.

Today, I don't pay much attention to opening new accounts anymore, one of my employees just do it 8hrs straight non-stop, with hope that some will survive to the end and become a producing account with $500-$1000 per day gross sales.

technically possible to create multiple eBay accounts using "incognito" mode and a residential IP from services like IP Royal or IP Burger, it is not recommended and may be against eBay's policies.
