You can have up to eight eBay accounts attached to your PayPal account. PayPal determines holds, not eBay

So no, if your PayPal holds are off and you create/attach a new eBay account to it you will not have a 90 day hold

Please i need further clarification on the answer you gave.
While setting up the other ebay accounts which will be linked to one PayPal account, will the profile details be the same or totally different from one another?

Are the rest ebay accounts considered to be stealth?

I stay in india for me is it possible to do dropshipping international?

 

[dikkill]

Got a question. Im from Europe and wanted to do AZ to Ebay DS a while back. But im not sure exactly how to do it since my main account got banned.
So i can purchase a US stealth account, transfer the money from stealt account to my main account, load it to payoneer CC.
Any idea how much will i lose once the money gets to my payoneer account?
This was a question for me a while back.
How about registering on amazon US and doing DS but im from Europe? Is it even possible?

No. Operating multiple ebay accounts is within eBay's TOS. It's whitehat

Yeah definitely. You need to register on ebay.in, post an item, and wait 48 hours

Then log into ebay.com

I personally don't have experience running stealth accounts. Try asking here

Still reading about VAT in the UK, very confusing at times. Yes you can claim the VAT paid against the VAT you charge the customer as far as i can see. But looking at my Amazon invoice it lists the item cost without VAT, the VAT amount paid then the full amount i paid including the VAT.
All well and good but at the end of the page it says "this is not a VAT invoice"...uh?...what?
Isnt that a contradiction if it states the VAT paid on the invoice printed??

If you can buy items on Amazon, receive payments from buyers on eBay, and then access your money: Yes

Gift wrap? Checking mark as gift on a high quantity of Amazon orders = Account flagged

But without it you get an Amazon invoice with the price, thats not going to help anyone...

Incorrect. Amazon stopped sending paper invoices years ago to save on shipping costs

Like Euphorix has stated, Amazon don't include invoices in packages any more. I have shipped 25 items so far and only 1 has been marked as gift. No problems.

I just checked my Amazon account after reading this. If you go into the order detail section and click "print order summary.." or similar, then you get a PDF invoice.

This PDF has the same VAT info and it doesn't say "this is not a VAT invoice". Check with an accountant but that should be a valid VAT invoice.

 

[david g rees]

Not for me, it says request invoice or printable order summery, and if you choose that at the very bottom it says this is not a vat invoice?

Oh yea I bet that is because you have selected your items as gifts. Amazon does state that VAT invoices aren't readily available for gifts and need to be manually requested from Amazon.

It's all on the site. If you go back through your orders and find personal orders from the past (assuming you have them) then you should see the option there.

EDIT ::

The other thing I forgot to mention is that VAT invoices are only available for orders sold by Amazon. Not all third party sellers are registered VAT which is something you need to be VERY WARY of. I only buy from Amazon.

Also, point to note, which I need to clarify. If you hit the VAT threshold the VAT is due on all your sales, not just whatever is over the threshold. I only discovered that yesterday.

What software do you guys use to monitor price fluctuations for the items you are listing on ebay?

I wrote my own custom tool to do this. There are online tools available also. PriceYak seems popular.

 

[erik06]

We had the same problem starting out. You really are doomed if you can't keep up with these price fluctuations and other things such as out of stock items. We use a tool that hasn't been disclosed on BHW (so i don't think) but i hear others are using one called Pricematik.

We do have a course coming out soon that takes beginners and intermediates up to the point where they can automate almost everything and make some good margins and build some nice profitable stores. We also include our item scraper which we had coded as well as the tool we use to automate our listings and item maintenance. Dropshipping isn't easy you need to do some work and build it up. Without the tools though, easy to say we wouldn't have gotten to this point.

That sounds like a very interesting opportunity. How do I get involved in the course? Thank you for the previous reply
