I've been planning on getting into dropshipping but there are a few concerns holding me back.

1. Payment processors

2. Customs/taxes

3. Credit Card


1. I live in Finland so I can't get Shopify Payments. So I need to use some other payment methods.
What I've read on the Internet is that most payment processors don't like dropshipping. Why? I've heard horror stories that Paypal holds your money or even kicks you out if they hear you do dropshipping. Can someone knowledgeable clear this out how is the case and how to get around this?


2. If I sell to USA customers, who pays the customs/taxes? How do I handle the situation if product get stuck at custom for taxation?

3. Apparently only way to buy stuff from Aliexpress is credit card and I don't have one. :S
I have only debit. And even if I had one should I have some business bank account (& credit card) because if I'm ordering constantly a lot of stuff isn't bank gonna think it's suspicious and close my account? Now imagine situation that I have 100 orders and bank closes my account so I won't have a way to fulfill those orders.
 
You can buy with your debit card and you panic to much. Nobody care how much you spend if it legit.
 
1 Bullshit. They hold your money for 21 days for the first 60 days and sometimes shorter to see if you are not scamming people and see if you deliver the goods. Skrill business and Stripe have many gateways.

2 Rarely stuff gets intercepted by taxes unless it are really expensive items where the sellers can't manipulate the price enough. In that case the buyer pays the taxes which you should already made very clear in your TOS and delivery time pages.

3 A debit card works too and why the fuck would a bank close your account?

Stop overthinking and start already and whatever happens along the way, resolve it. Not 1 business had zero problems when starting out.
