Working as a VA while having my own store.

Hello, I have my store on eBay from Pakistan which is going well. However, I will also work as a virtual assistant for another store, so I would like to know if I can work on two accounts from one IP in Pakistan. Will eBay suspend my account? Is it ok to work as a VA while also working on your store?

Until you figure out your own listings, I wouldn't try helping anyone else.

 

You have a vest, showing shipping by  Media Mail.

Your stock images says US Stock and listings show it's located in Pakistan.

Have a great day.

You are allowed to have two accounts from one IP.  But if one gets closed down by eBay, the other one may be as well as they assume the two are associated.

 

Your shipping information shows that you are shipping from China but your item location shows as Pakistan.  If the items are being shipped from China the item location should show that as well.

Never a good idea to work as virtual assistant for store on same IP address.   If for some reason EBAY terminates that other store (your store will get terminated also because it on the same IP address).

 

You should check your listing....page 1 of your listings show many items incorrectly shipping by MEDIA MAIL.  Because you are incorrectly showing shipping as Media Mail (customer will not pay incorrect amount for shipping and you will get stuck paying additional postage).  Media Mail can only be used to ship books, CD./DVD, record and other audio and video recordings.

Re: Working as a VA while having my own store.

As long as you're working as a virtual assistant through eBay's Multi User Account Access (MUAA) then it should not link your personal selling account with your employer's account. Though I would still recommend creating a new account specifically for VA work.

 

That said, you have a lot of issues with your listings and I suggest not seeking out VA work until you learn what you're doing. It's pretty clear you're not yet ready for a role like that as you're still climbing up eBay's learning curve.

If I were you I would work on my own shop as you clearly have some issues with it.  Your location states you are shipping from Pakistan, yet your items are being shipped from China via Media Mail?  That's a good way to get suspended.  You clearly do not have enough experience or knowledge to be advising others here how to sell and the outcome is that their accounts will shut down as will yours if you don't clean up all the misinformation on your present account.  Just a heads up.

I tried to work as virtual assistant once, but they tried to pay me with a virtual paycheck, so I quit.

Good luck to you!

Re: Working as a VA while having my own store.

I am dropshipping and the warehouse is in the US however my account is registered in Pakistan, which I cannot change until I apply for forward-deployed inventory. Till then I have to use my own country location.

Re: Working as a VA while having my own store.

So, you are helping out another seller as a virtual visitant?  LOL

 

 If you do not know how to run your OWN store the why should someone else let you help to ruin their store?
