Employee Account Roles

Employee Account Roles

Employees who work on you should be able to  have a different role depending on what they need to work on. 

You should not have to give your employees your master login and password to your account. That is Just CRAZY.

Security in Today's Market is everything.

You mean employees who work for you should have different sign ins.

They can cause damage.  Hope that didn't happen to you.

ebay said last year at ebay Open that they were going to create a limited account log in for a seller's employees. It was to be made available this year. The blues have indicated it is still being worked on, but I don't think anyone has a release date for it at this point. It would be nice if ebay would release it as part of the upcoming Spring Update, but long experience with ebay tells me it wouldn't be a good idea to hold your breath while waiting....

I recall them saying that.  Perhaps it will be ready by the time of this year's Open.  In any case, this is only April, thus four months into the year, but then again, they may have been working on it prior to their announcement last year that they would have the tool.  

Time will tell.

I might be confused but I'm pretty sure I read something recently about eBay introducing restricted access logins. it was some time in the last couple of months, perhaps at ecommercebytes (looked but didn't find it).

Currently the only way to do it is by using third-party tools which use a token system so that only the Admin user needs to know the account password and access to normal functions (selling account & site setting changes must be done directly on eBay) can be restricted by user.

I use SixBit for all aspects of eBay management.

Yes you are absolutely correct and Ebay agrees with you.  This is something Ebay is working on  providing for sellers.  Hopefully it will be available in a few months.  But I do know they are working on it.  Watch your Seller Update emails.  They will certainly announce it in one of those when it is ready for everyone.

Sorry you have to find a work around in the meantime.

One of the vloggers daily refinement was just at Ebay headquarters for the day and asked when this was being rolled at as many of his followers have been asking being it was announced about a year ago. Ebay told him - it will be out shortly - which means ?????

Any time between now and October 2020. Or later.
