Everybody knows that back in the day. They've been not allowing dropshipping for a long time. Still does it.

You used to to be able to tell eBay to their face that you are dropshipping .

That was way back, then they allowed you to dropship as long as also sell your own inventory/yard sale. Now, it's over, but I'm sure people will dropship anyways. If eBay wants to push dropship away, they may lose up to 1/4 revenue statistically.

I did it a week before they said it was banned. It was never banned before that you just need to word it right.
Also who cares what they say anyways, how would they prove it?

Normally they don't prove it, but if you tell them you have a warehouse, they may say which warehouse brand and address. Therefore I said it was home inventory. Never had I said I was dropshipping when I asked them to raised my limits. The feedbacks are even more important.

You still can but you must have a good selling history already. I know firsthand.

Of course they're gone. They dropship using Amazon. How long do you really think that's gonna last? There's no real longevity in that and Ebay has strict policies against it.
I have 3 main suppliers that help me fulfill orders. Only two of them have online shops and the other one takes orders through email only. I've talked to each of them on the phone and took the time to build those personal relationships. Ebay called me one day because I was doing so many numbers out the blue and the same thing I told you is what I told them. Now I'm a Top Rated Seller on their platform. I made it work and I know a lot of people under the radar making it work too.
