Also, I have a few questions.
How much margin per sale are you making? (reselling price incl. shipping and etsy fees (5%) minus aliexpress or reseller price )
Are you paying any tax in your country on your turnover?
What's your main conversion source? Etsy organic searches?
How much do you spend on Etsy Ads? Are they effective?
I think it might help some people.

Okay thanks, got my first listing on but how do you pay to place a fake order?
Won't they link your bank details?

After doing some research, I noticed that there are a number of dropshippers on Etsy. These generate a very good amount of sales and attractive margins. There is definitely plenty to do. For example: A store that dropship made 1,300 sales in 6 months.
They use the blur between conception / design and outsourced manufacturing overseas. It's up to you to know how to play with it. Do your tests, analyze competing practices. Don't lie about delivery times and I think you will stay under the radar.
It may sound like a lot of work, but once you have a store and product listings established, handling a hundred orders per month (about 4 per day) allows you to generate a decent income.

I'm currently removing all exif date from the aliexpress product images, which would make it harder to link the image back.
@GRQ Thomas, can you please elaborate on how you buy the products from yourself? - How do they not link back as your bank details might be visible?
Furthermore, I notice you are using etsy ads, how does this work?
And do you say that you ship from China? I noticed a dropshipper also selling from alie but claims to ship from Australia.

Around 12-25eur on a product, matters which one. On average around 13eur after all fees.
Nope no tax.
Yep, at this point etsy organic searches.
A decent bit. They're very easy and effective. I've spent a total of $238 on etsy ads.

I used apple pay, guess that somehow didn't link. You might have to use a different PayPal.
Etsy ads are great, highly recommend.
I do indeed say that I ship from China, but in any messages with customers I just say that we have a warehouse there. The other dropshippers probably just buy a bunch and reship it themselves.

That's roughly the margins I was able to calculate from my projections.
It's impressive how many sales Etsy can bring you.
In order to be sustainable in the event of a possible account suspension, I would advise opening a WordPress (WooCommerce Dropshipping) or Shopify + Oberlo (higher fees but easier for users) store and promote it on your Etsy shop profile. Do some branding, a nice logo, maybe watermark it on your products images (mass watermarking with free app called InfraView for Windows OS) and get a matching domain name.
I think there's even more ways to optimize. I'll get started with this method soon. Good luck to everyone!

@GRQ Thomas okay, thanks, man.
Furthermore, how do you keep track of the products you source from Aliexpress?
Do you sell different themed products in one store?
And how do you make your listings as it is quite time intensive to add products manually from Aliexpress to Etsy?
Do you use any other ways to market your products except etsy ads?

Don't keep track of them, just have a notes files with all the URLS.
Not sure what you mean with this question. I have stuff from multiple animes and TV shows, but I don't have cute bras or handbags and stuff like that.
I just did it manually. Took some time but it was worth it.
Nope, just etsy ads. Eventually I ranked on etsy so now its all organic. From my 300 sales, I've made 10 offsite which means someone found me via google.
