Questions re. setting up EU or US ebay account, to sell into the UK
Hi folks,
I've been selling on eBay for many years now, and run a stealth account also. A problem I've had in the past 3-6 months is that the UK wholesaler of one line of products is forcing eBay to stop all UK based sellers from selling on eBay, apparently they can do this, despite the law saying they've no right to interfere with products that I've purchased in the EU. Anyway, I don't want to sue them, I'm too small and they're too big, they can bury me in legal fees.
The stupidity of all this is that they've left eBay.co.uk completely open to sellers from everywhere else. US and EU sellers are having a field day as there's no UK competition on the UK site! What a charming company eh?
So, I want to create a .de or .com ebay account purely for selling into the UK even though I'm in the UK anyway. Does this make sense?
Questions:
How do I go about doing this without linking to my UK account? I'm pretty well versed in everything "stealth" so no need for that. I'm more concerned about how I'd get access to my money. Can I open an international bank account maybe? How would I handle returns?
Many thanks in advance,
Jeff.
