eBay does not allow dropshipping. I recommend you find a different platform or create your own.

As a avid eBay seller, I do not sell anything that I do not have on hand. While drop shipping is technically allowed on eBay that is if you are fulfilling orders through a wholesaler, not ordering an item after its ordered on aliexpress.

You will have tons of cases against for you shipping and items not arriving as described, people wanting to return items and stuff like that.

I will sell them from a wholesaler that I will find on alibaba.com

If you wanted to really do this, which I highly DO NOT recommend. Then you need to find an actual drop shipping supplier. While you can find them on Alibaba, ordering an item of Alibaba is not exactly dealing directly with the wholesaler. There are some other platforms such as CJdropship that are set up much better for this.

With some of these other platforms you can order bulk and have them store it in a warehouse for you, once you sell you can have them package and ship it out for you as well.

I hope you do know, you will be getting lots of returns from eBay. I have been selling on eBay for 3 years its part of the business. Out of every 100 products you sell you will normally see 1-2 returns if its a high quality product. With random items you are dropshipping for China you will get a much higher return rate.

Do not expect to return the items that people want to return to you.

You will have to take the hit and account for it come tax time.

That is not going to end well. As soon as you upload that tracking number they will easily see you are dropshipping. Even if you had a working account, you're just asking for Paypal to freeze that money.

Maybe it's possible if you set the "ships from" location to "China", but I still would not bother. People will be complaining about the long shipping times and asking for a refund for an item that was already shipped. Not worth the trouble.

This 100 times over. People on eBay love to complain even when there is absolutely nothing wrong with the product.

Yup. It amazes me that people even still use Ebay. There's a ton complainers and morons that still love shopping there apparently.

The problem is the phone number ( got this info from a chat with an ebay customer support agent ), I'm sure you bought it from some provider like smspva or other, anyway you have to find a clean phone number that's the key ! I'm stuck there myself right now. We have to buy real phone numbers !

Yeah, that is what I would advise someone. Personally, I use Woocommerce and WP, but I would recommend people to use Shopify. But hey, you can try other online marketplaces if you'd like as that's the easiest and quickest way to list a product and get eyeballs on it.

Well I actually own a wordpress site so I am going to try woocommerce and dropshipping on other marketplace. Then I will see wich one is the best and focus on it !

Ebay and dropshipping is a disaster waiting to happen. And it only happens when the orders are coming in thick and fast.
