![]() | View Full Version : anyone has experience with ebay master reseller account for $50/year? webers 10-02-2007, 02:24 PM cheap but is that working? anyone has a review? ldcdc 10-02-2007, 03:02 PM I wouldn't think it fair to judge all ebay hosts as they're a single entity. I suppose there might be some decent ones. That being said, at $50 per year, I'd consider such an account as little more than a shared hosting account with reselling capabilities, and not really a platform to start a new hosting company from. Adam H 10-02-2007, 03:35 PM Isnt it obvious? If you think about it, a server costs $150/month. To support all the sub accounts and all their sub accounts they will need quite alot of server power. $150 * 12 = $1800 Divide that by $50's = 36 master resellers, Those 36 master resellers sell 30 reseller accounts. Thats 1080 resellers on one server! And this is before the host has made any profit from the server. iHubNet-Matt 10-02-2007, 04:02 PM cheap but is that working? anyone has a review? Just wish to add a single sentence. You will get for what you pay. So be careful if you are going to use it for some business purpose. Nnyan 10-02-2007, 07:53 PM ldcdc is much nicer then I am. I have yet to see any ebay company that I would spend my money on. I think you need to do some more research and reading on these forums and you'll understand the cost dynamics of the biz and why $50year or even $100year is not very viable for a reseller account. Fastest way to learn about these types of accounts is to sign up for one of these $50/year accounts and then come back here after a few months and let us know what you lessons you learned. Overall a cheap lesson to learn for $50. Or you can just avoid them and research what a solid reputable host charges for reasonable resources. PremiumHost 10-02-2007, 09:06 PM There's another scenario. When they collect enough from those $50 accounts, they would run away instead of providing 1 year service. myusername 10-03-2007, 05:30 PM Just wish to add a single sentence. You will get for what you pay. In this industry, that is not always 100% accurate. webgeeks 10-04-2007, 10:46 PM I agree with the above comments. I've been scammed before several times from companies offering those deals, which is why I decided to have my own servers ever since. I definitely wouldnt count on those businesses to be reliable. everity 10-04-2007, 11:44 PM Isnt it obvious? If you think about it, a server costs $150/month.

I wouldn't expect a server like that to even support 200 accounts, much less 1,080. aldo 10-04-2007, 11:55 PM I dont think overseller is a good explanation for this but SUPER Overseller might get near it. I am bad at getting cheap things because I am cheap and regret it later, but I would never fall for a $50 a year reseller plan at like ~$4.10 a month. You will more then likely regret it. How much resources do you get though? Or are you just asking in general? iHubNet-Matt 10-05-2007, 11:06 AM I dont think overseller is a good explanation for this but SUPER Overseller might get near it.

How much resources do you get though? Or are you just asking in general? Right. I would say, look for a host with a decent pay structure rather looking for the cheapest. If you go through a couple of hosting provider sites, you will be able to see the cost structure. crucialx 10-05-2007, 04:51 PM All I can say is good luck with the eBay reseller packages, especially at that price! |
