Many users organize their business using separate eBay Seller Accounts to sell different types of goods. Support for managing multiple accounts is built in to eBay Blackthorne Pro. You can have as many eBay Seller Accounts as you need and manage them all with eBay Blackthorne.

Although you can manage as many seller accounts as you'd like, you will need to have a different subscription to eBay Blackthorne for every 5 accounts. For instance, if you manage 5 seller accounts, then you will need only one subscription. If you have 6 accounts, you need two subscriptions, and at 11, you would need three subscriptions. |
To organize your information by seller account, you will first create an eBay Blackthorne seller account for every eBay Seller Account that you have. You will give each seller account a name. This name may be the same as the eBay userid or it can be something different. You will also specify the eBay userid that is subscribed to eBay Blackthorne. Since you can use up to 5 seller accounts with one subscription, the first 5 seller accounts you create should have the same Subscribed Userid.
Once you have created your accounts, you simply need to identify which seller account an item is being created for. You will normally do this as you create new items.
As listing and sales records are created from the items, you will be able to use the Seller dropdown in each of those modes to view just the information for an individual seller or all sellers.
When importing items from eBay or Seller's Assistant Pro, the proper Seller Accounts will be created and associated with the item records.

You cannot create more than one seller account for a single eBay UserID. |

When creating an item, you must associate it with the seller account that you want to list it with. The Seller dropdown in the Item Details group provides a list of all seller accounts for you to use.
To view the Items, Listings, or Sales for a particular seller account, simply choose the account from the Seller dropdown in the sidebar. Choose "All Sellers" if you want to view all your data together.

When you change seller accounts, all folders, lists and filters will include data for the selected seller account only. You will see the counts in sidebar change as you change seller accounts. |
