To the people answering "rent eBay/Paypal account" posts

Seriously? Let's see. First of all, Rolex does their own distribution, and will make a full refund for any reason if you take it back to an authorized Rolex dealer, so there are no such thing as "suppliers" for authentic unworn Rolexes unless it is stolen. Anyone offering to drop ship new unworn Rolexes are selling fakes. This goes for many brands. Secondly. The dude was offering to drop ship a whole catalog of $10K+ watches but admitted at one point that he didn't have them in stock. Do you think that is someone that is safe to work with?

Iv'e sold straight up microsoft keys that were legit with a dvd and did extremely well and bought a car from it. Paypal didn't peep at me. Ive borrow 10s of thousands from paypal selling the same shit. i hear nothing from them. its about luck and KNOWING how to use stealth accounts. i wouldnt use them for rolexes but i would use them on other items that can be risky as well. its all about how connected you are and how not to expose yourself with vpns, etc.

Dude, THAT IS NOT THE POINT. This thread is not about how to sell stealth. This is about protecting newbies from potential scams and losing money. I've been here 3+ years and I have yet to see a legit Rolex supplier, and pretty much every single JV listing that wanted to do Rolex watches were either outright scams or at best selling fakes represented as authentic.

If you made money by selling dodgy products, good for you. You just walked through a minefield with your eyes closed and survived. That doesn't mean that the right way to deal with a minefield is to close your eyes and walk through it. But as I said, this thread is not about viability of drop shipping as a business mode, but protecting yourself against potential scams.
