AliExpress to eBay Dropshipping Question.

so i got my first dropshipping order today.
but aliexpress asks for a phone number in the shipping address which the seller did not provide.
what should i put in the phone number section?

thanks for the help in advance.

Either tell the supplier it is a dropshipping product or go back to the client and ask him for the phone number if he wants

Ebay requires phone numbers. It should be in the ebay order section.

Just use your own phone number, that's what I've always done. Do you really want your chinese supplier calling your customer? Probably not!

First of all, simply contact the buyer and ask for the phone number, if the buyer does not respond, you can either put in Your phone number or random number. If You put Your phone number there's a chance that You will get a notification when item is about to be delivered, but thats not 100 percent of the time.

Don't worry about that, suppliers never calls customers, even if they do that's not the problem, I almost guaranteed that buyer will never understand what is going it. Been dsing for years and never had that problem.

However If You put in wrong number, You can have a problem:
- Once the item is in destination post office and they are struggling to deliver, sometimes post office sends a message to the phone number.
- Aliexpress then sometimes sends message to the email address which is Yours.

That means if You have loads of orders, even if You get both notifications, they can be burried and the customer will never receive the item, because on the package there was wrong phone number.

Good Luck!
