eBay

retromxparts · ‎07-17-2022

I am going to spell it out very clearly this time. I have a 21 year old ebay account. I want to have someone do listings for my ebay store. They are not going to be onsite with me. Not using my computer or my ISP. They are going to use their computer, their ISP, at their location. They already have an ebay account that has nothing to do with me which I want to keep it that way. I do not want my ebay account & their ebay account linked by ebay.

1. Is there ANY 3rd party listing programs out there where a lister can create the listings without having to be logged into my ebay store in order to create said draft listings?

2.

When they list on your account from their computer you will be linked.

If they get restricted on their account anyone linked to them is restricted.

@retromxparts

I don't think anyone can post listings to your eBay account from their own computer/isp/location without that information becoming associated with your account. You may have difficulty in finding someone to do this. If YOU should mess up your account and get suspended, the person listing for you from another location will be associated with your suspension and may likely get canned as well.

Same thing may be true if they access your account, and get their own regular account suspended. Yours would be in danger of getting the proverbial axe as well in the guilt by association eBay program.

This sounds like a terrible idea. On so many levels.

Not a 3rd party app, but eBay provides Multi User Access for exactly this situation. Your listers would be able to work on your listings while logged in to their own eBay accounts.

The accounts will stay separate, but I don't think you can prevent them from being associated with each other.

The accounts will be considered linked accounts by eBay.

And, you know, the matter of linked accounts is not just a technical matter, either, or an abstract one. You are linking yourself with another eBay user. You are working with that user in order to operate your eBay business. That person's conduct will affect you business, for better or for worse, just as any employee's or partner's conduct will. So, you have much to consider before doing this.

So you want someone to list and sell for you and be totally not connected to you in any way?

I assume you would would be the one to keep/store/ship the items?

The other person would just be doing the computer part?

Someone would have to be crazy to do that.

I would never list and sell for someone else

without the item(s) being in my hand and them count on someone to ship them.

Too much risk.

The only thing I can think of is to have the other party create the text, take the photos, send the vanilla results to you without formatting or html or any other identifying information and YOU put the info into the format of your store and list it. No connection between the two accounts and the only way I can see ebay not having an association.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous

@retromxparts

And what happens if the lister screws up your listings? You would be the one held accountable because it's your account. I agree with the other posters this could go wrong on so many levels.

Why would you want to compromise your ebay account having some stranger do what appears your already doing yourself?

simply-the-best-for-you · ‎07-17-2022

OK. LOTS of sellers do this. It's not some weird crazy idea, it's quite common, esp for large sellers. You might seek out some YT's to see how others do it. Many hire Virtual Assts to do exactly this, others hire friends or family. Also, as @lacemaker3 posted eBay has a new feature that allows you to have employees that you only give certain access to. That's how I would do it, if it was me.

I am only familiar with Sixbit & I don't have anyone listing for me (though I wish I did). I know people do this with SB, but by having them sign into SB, they have access to your account, to the best of my knowledge. You might contact SB to see if there's a way to let people create listings in it, without having access to your acct. There may be & I just don't know it.

I'm trying to think of the other listing software that is web based, that I decided against. It *may* allow it b/c it's web based, but I'm not sure. They have great support b/c I remember having lengthy conversations about their platform & software, but I decided against them b/c they were web based.

ETA: Of course, hit enter & then remember. It's Inkfrog. Not sure if it will do what you want though.

Almost like quasi drop shipping. Gotta wonder who's bank account the person doing the listing is linked to, who's SSN it's connected to and how the 1099's are going to work.

On a similar vein.......

I use SixBit, I could have another person CREATE listings, transfer these newly created Items to me (either through CSV or transferring the actual database) And I would submit them. using that method there would be absolutely no connection between my account and any other user.
