How many here have more than 1 Ebay account?

[mischap123]

Just received a few cards today from a fairly new seller (robnelson7) on Ebay with FB of 15. I'm NOT indicating that anything dodgey happened but found it interesting that this new seller is also MRoyale2000 who has a great reputation. Just wondering why that would be the case and if anyone here has multiple accounts and their reasons for it?

3. a ebay USA account.

2. 1 in USA

I have a USA one too, but it's the same as my Oz one, so does that count as just 1?

 

[mischap123]

What the diff on having a US one?

A lot of US auction specify no overseas bidders. Having a usa ebay account gets you around it.

But then what happens when you win a bid and the buyer realizes your international?

I use a mail forwarding service so i have a USA address. Also shaunbradleyfan helps a few people out by having things sent to his address and he sends them on.

Some seller dont care and will just send overseas. Some will have had a bad experience with overseas buyers and just tell you to f-off.

OK then, I understand the US thing but back to my original post, why does this guy have 2 accounts? It wasn't sold through a US account

You all realise you can have a usa addy attached to your normal account.....

Maybe he wants to keep his selling and buying seperate.

I've bought something from both accounts in the last month

 

[footypugs2011]

Just the one for me. Have enough troule keeping up with it.

I actually think I only created my US one JUST to check completed listings. You need to sign in for that.

I got three packages todays from three different seller ID's but they were all from him. Has his name and phone number on the back of the envelope.

I don't know what to think. I've always been happy with his service and cards but fail to understand why the extra accounts are needed. He does fetch a good price on cards but I always thought it was on reputation. I doubt he'd be shilling.

The only thing I can possibly think of is that by using a Personal account instead of a store account you can avoid the insertion fees and take up the special listing offers that come up from time to time.

He actually sells a lot of cards for some one else under MRoyale2000. the other 2 accounts must be his one, for good cards & the other for lower quality cards

I bought some pretty lower end Scanlens cards from both of his new accounts which makes me think its a littlr odd. Will be sending him a msg asking what the go is today.

I've got a few. I let my main one go by the wayside because as a "top rated powerseller" you aren't eligible for all the promos. On a new account you get up to 30 free listings a month and free gallery pics I think. I use another one for buying now and I had one that I used to sell car parts on, but those customers could be a PITA and were notorious for leaving bad feedback, when they were clearly buying used parts for a fraction of the price, but expecting new

He could just be trying to reduce his ebay fees by using a new account?
