Introduction
If you manage multiple stores on the same selling platform, AutoDS helps you avoid uploading the same product to more than one store.
With the Multiple Accounts Protection feature, you can link your stores using a shared tag. AutoDS then detects and blocks duplicate listings automatically, keeping your accounts safe.
Benefits
-
Prevents duplicate listings across connected stores.
-
Reduces the risk of account flagging or suspension.
-
Helps you manage multiple stores on the same platform securely.
-
Uses tags for setup, making the process simple and flexible.
⚠️ Important: This feature is especially useful if you manage multiple eBay stores from the same IP or device.
How the feature works
This feature works by applying the same tag to two or more of your stores in AutoDS. Once the tag is shared, AutoDS recognizes the stores as connected.
If you try to upload a product that already exists in one of the tagged stores, AutoDS detects the duplication and blocks the upload.
Steps to enable multiple accounts protection
-
Log in to your AutoDS account and go to Store Settings.
-
Click the pencil icon next to the store you want to set up.
-
In the settings window, click the tag icon.
-
Click the plus (+) icon to create a new tag (e.g., Shared-eBay), then save it.
💡 Tip: This tag links the stores and helps AutoDS prevent duplicate uploads. -
Repeat the same process for all other stores you want to connect. Apply the same tag to each store.
-
Once all stores share the same tag, AutoDS will automatically prevent duplicate product uploads.
Note: When both stores share the same tag (e.g., Test), a blue tag icon will appear. This confirms that the Multiple Accounts Protection feature is active.
Tips and best practices
-
Use clear tag names (e.g., Main-eBay or Group-Amazon) to avoid confusion.
-
Only tag stores that should avoid overlapping products.
-
Review your existing products and remove duplicates before enabling this feature.
💡 Reminder: This feature helps manage risk, but it’s still your responsibility to ensure each store has unique product selections.
