Using more than one eBay account

Baiord holds one eBay account per workspace. If you trade on two accounts, you have two workspaces and switch between them.

Why it works that way

Because the alternative is useless. Two sellers' orders summed into one profit figure, one margin and one monthly P&L is not a number anybody can act on, and separating them again afterwards is impossible. One account, one set of books.

Adding a workspace for a second account

1. Open the workspace switcher and choose to add a workspace.
2. Name it — usually after the eBay account it will hold.
3. Connect that eBay account to it, exactly as you did the first.

The second workspace is covered by the plan on the first, so there is nothing more to pay as long as your plan has room. If it does not, Baiord tells you rather than showing you a form that can only fail.

What a plan allowance means

A plan's eBay-account allowance is a number of workspaces. A workspace holding a subscription can have further workspaces linked to it, each with its own eBay account and its own books. Linked workspaces carry a copy of the paying workspace's plan and expiry, so they expire together and are renewed together.

Check your own allowance on the pricing page or in Settings — see also connecting your eBay account for the message you get when the allowance is used up.

Switching between them

Each workspace has its own web address, its own orders, its own expenses, its own team and its own time zone. Nothing is shared and nothing is summed across them. Your sign-in is the same for all of them.
