So since Ebay's new policy with dropshipping from other retailers being frowned upon heavily,

If i ordered the item via prime to my address and then removed anything associated with amazon, and go through the added hassle of re-shipping it via the local post office would this be a bannable offence?

I wan't to keep on going with dropshipping as I've had a nice success for my first month, and at the same time would like to keep my account ( A good few years old with 100% positive feedback, also not limited )

What are your guy's thoughts?

I think Amazon Prime works like that: Send products to amazon warehouse > sell them > they pack and deliver > you take final share.

So it cannot be drop shipping.
 
That would be fine but it boosts the price because postage will be minimum £2+ and it would slow shipping time down a bit.

I think it's adding the tools to 3rd party authorisation that tells them your using retail arbitrage and that's getting people flagged.

If a buyer complains about the Amazon packaging, Ebay will consider it dropshipping, even if you show them the FBA documents proving that it's your own items.

If you're doing enough sales to justify third-party fulfilment, it's much safer to use a non-branded service.
 
How would you handle eBay's "handling time", where a Tracking # must be inserted before the specified number of days.
Only insert the Tracking # after you've re-shipped it?

This may be easier because Amazon Prime has speedy shipping options, but in the context of not Amazon Prime this gets less and less viable.
Say your "dropshipper" is in California... the customer is also in California... you live in New York..
The dropshipper would have to ship it all the way across the country to you, just for you to send it back to the same location essentially. This can hurt shipping times.

Yeah would mean i'd have to keep any larger items on a uk only basis, and anything small i can re-ship myself and provide a tracking number on the day i ship it off, DPD if used with their software give you the tracking number before they even pick the item up from you.

It's still to me better than not having the option to dropship from amazon at all though
