Mass posting and multi-accounting on Avito: how to sell quickly and effectively

Buyers scroll through the feed at machine-gun speed. You've got fractions of a second to grab their attention. What actually works in practice?

Photos are everything. Pictures sell the product before anyone reads the description. Three shots minimum, better five to seven. Natural light beats studio lighting for conversion. Show the item from all angles, including defects if there are any. Honesty pays off with trust.

Copy that sells. Forget about "selling sofa." Write why the buyer needs your specific sofa. Leather upholstery you can wipe down after the kids' artwork. A folding mechanism that's survived three moves. Dimensions down to the centimeter. The buyer's already mentally fitting the furniture into their apartment.

Price is an art of balance. Open the section with similar items. Look at what things actually sell for, not what optimists list them at. Your price should be around the median or slightly below. Pro tip: a price of 14,900 is psychologically perceived better than 15,000.

Response speed matters. Buyer wrote you? Reply within fifteen minutes. In an hour, they're already making a deal with another seller. Turn on phone notifications. Prepare template responses for typical questions.

Freshness drives sales. Avito's algorithm loves fresh listings. Update every three to four days. No need to delete and recreate, just hit the "Bump" button.

Mistakes that kill sales: Copy-pasting identical listings is a straight path to a ban. The system catches duplicates in seconds. Sky-high prices hoping for a sucker don't work. Buyers are smart, they've got the internet for comparison. Blurry 240-pixel photos raise suspicions.

Refusing delivery cuts off half your clients. Many are willing to pay extra for convenience. An outdated phone number is a classic. Check your contacts before publishing.

Sooner or later you'll hit the ceiling. One account doesn't let you sell much on Avito. Limits strangle business at the root.

Mass posting means that instead of painfully filling out forms manually, you upload hundreds of listings in a couple of minutes. Imagine, you used to spend a whole day posting fifty items, now it's fifteen minutes for five hundred.

Who actually needs this. Online store owners with inventories of fifty items or more will definitely appreciate it. Resellers working with constantly changing inventory save hours daily. Real estate agencies upload their entire property database with one click. Car dealers show their entire fleet without a headache. Even regular people clearing out a garage or apartment after a move save time.

Real example: An electronics store was struggling with three hundred products. The manager was killing eight hours weekly just updating listings. After implementing mass listing upload, the picture changed. Forty minutes instead of eight hours. Views jumped three and a half times—products became visible to buyers. Sales conversion jumped by one hundred and eighty percent. No magic—just proper product presentation and constant presence in the feed.

Manual mass upload

Pros of the manual approach. You see every comma in the description. You can tweak wording for a specific item. It's free, you only pay with time. Risk of getting banned approaches zero if you follow the rules.

Cons that piss you off. On average you spend five minutes per listing. In practice, it's all ten. A hundred items will take almost seventeen hours of pure time. Your eyes glaze over, you start making typos in prices. Scary to think how many sales are lost because of an extra zero. It's physically impossible to upload more than thirty listings a day without losing your mind. Updating a large catalog stretches into weeks.

Process automation

Working tools for mass upload:

Avito API — official thing from the platform itself. Works through XML feeds, understands YML from Yandex.Market. Only suitable for business accounts.

YouDo Pro plays nice with popular CRMs. Automatically updates prices on schedule, tracks inventory.

AvitoParser — the arbitrageur's Swiss Army knife. Parses competitors, shows their prices and strategies. Mass editing saves hours.

Posting Master covers multiple platforms at once. Built-in analytics shows where real buyers are coming from.

The mechanics are simple. Fill out an Excel spreadsheet with title, description, price, category, image links. Feed the file to the service. Get ready listings. You can mass upload even a thousand listings at once.

One profile becomes a crutch for normal business. Category limits don't let you spread out. You can't sell phones and spare parts simultaneously—the system won't let you effectively sell on Avito in different niches. Account goes down—the whole business goes down.

Avito multi-accounting solves the problem, but requires brains.

Basic survival principles:

Each profile needs its own niche without exceptions. If an account specializes in phones, let it sell only phones. Adding children's clothing and auto parts to one profile will raise suspicions. Avito's algorithms track these category jumps and quickly detect suspicious activity.

Unique data remains the foundation of security. Different phone numbers are mandatory for each profile. Register email boxes on different platforms—Mail.ru, Yandex, Gmail. Bank cards should also differ, virtual cards from different banks work. The platform continuously cross-references data between accounts. The same phone number or payment card on two profiles will lead to instant blocking of the entire chain.

Geography requires a logical approach. In a big city, distribute accounts by districts. One profile works downtown, the second covers residential areas, the third handles suburbs. This division looks natural and increases buyer reach. Customers find it more convenient to buy items close to home.

Time distribution of posts protects against exposure. Simultaneous activity of all accounts becomes an obvious signal for moderation. The first profile posts listings in the morning, the second is active during the day, the third kicks in at evening. Mimicking the behavior of real sellers who log onto the platform at different times of day.

The technical part starts with understanding proxy servers. A proxy masks the user's real IP address, substituting another. If you're in Voronezh, through a proxy Avito will see a connection from Moscow, St. Petersburg, or any other city. Traffic doesn't go directly to the platform, but through an intermediate server with its own IP address. The platform records this address, not your real one.

The difference between proxy types is colossal. Server proxies from data centers are easily recognized by Avito's security systems. The platform has long learned to identify such connections. Residential proxies work differently — these are IP addresses of real home users with regular internet providers like Rostelecom or Beeline. GonzoProxy provides access to exactly such residential addresses. Their network consists of real home connections throughout Russia and the world. For Avito, such a connection looks like a regular user from a specific city, not a suspicious account farm. Setup details are laid out in the residential proxy usage guide, where every step is described as clearly as possible.

An antidetect browser provides the next level of protection. The program creates a unique digital fingerprint for each profile. Undetectable handles the task excellently. Dozens of accounts work in parallel, the system suspects nothing.

Tools for organizing chaos. Google Sheets store passwords and statistics. Generate different passwords, by the way. Trello lays out tasks neatly. When to post what, what to update. AmoCRM automates work with buyers. Bitrix24 collects all information in one place.

Survival checklist:

• Unique proxy for each profile, skimping here will kill your business.
• Separate browser profile in antidetect, no mixing.
• Different payment cards, preferably from different banks.
• Unique photos, at least change the order.
• Different text style. One writes in short phrases, another inflates descriptions.

Stage one. Technical preparation. Go to GonzoProxy, get proxies. Take them from the region where you're planning to sell. Moscow IPs for Moscow listings, St. Petersburg ones for St. Petersburg.

As an example, we created US proxies in ip:port:username:password format

Stage two. Download Undetectable. Create profiles, one for each account.

• Go to the proxy tab 

• Enter proxy data and click check proxy 

• Proxies are working. Save profile

Stage three. Accounts. 1 profile = 1 account.

Register profiles through the created browser identities. The important point is getting unique phone numbers. You can't create an account without a number, Avito requires SMS confirmation. Physical SIM cards are expensive and inconvenient. Virtual number services come to the rescue.

• SMS-Activate offers numbers from different countries starting at 10 rubles for SMS reception.
• 5sim.net works similarly, has an API for automation.
• OnlineSim provides numbers for long-term rental if you plan to recover access.
• SMSPVA specializes in Russian numbers. Get a number, receive the code, register the account.

Stage four. Warm-up. A newborn account immediately flooding the platform with goods becomes a red flag for moderation. The first week keep quiet. Browse other people's listings, add to favorites, write a couple of comments. Post one to two items per day.

Stage five. Combat mode. After a week of warm-up, start mass posting on Avito. But without fanaticism. Ten to fifteen listings per day per account. Gradually increase volume.

Story one about greed. An entrepreneur copied a phone listing to five accounts. Identical photos, identical text, same price. The system cross-referenced the data in three minutes. All five profiles flew into a ban.

Solution: take photos from different angles. Rewrite descriptions in your own words. Change the sequence of characteristics. Vary the price by 50-100 rubles.

Story two about speed. A new seller decided to immediately post the entire inventory. Fifty listings in an hour from a new account. Moderation spotted automation. Block came in two hours.

Solution: stretch publication throughout the day. Make 15-30 minute pauses between listings. Mimic human behavior.

Story three about saving money. Five accounts worked from one home IP. Saving on proxies turned into losing all profiles simultaneously.

Solution: each account gets its own residential proxy from GonzoProxy. Use Undetectable antidetect browser.

Safety table:

Manual work is justified when selling an old iPhone or grandma's cabinet. A dozen items after renovation can also be done manually. A niche service like router setup in your neighborhood requires one profile.

How to do mass posting on Avito becomes a pressing question when we're talking about fifty items or more. Multiple product categories require different approaches and accounts. Scaling plans run into technical limitations.
