Saying Hello from Malaysia!

[faris_jay]

Hi, My name is Faris Rashid. I just registered here yesterday. And I can see that this forum is very helpful. There are lots of tips and help that I can find here.


Anyway, I think I got here because I was looking for ways to get back on eBay as I was being suspended few days ago... It was a very sad way to have started selling on eBay in a week and got suspended few days later.


My paypal account is about one year old but my eBay account is just a month old I think. But that was not the problem. The problem is paypal held my payment for my third item sold on eBay!!! How in the hell could I pay for my dropshipper to ship the item to the buyer if Paypal hold my payment?! Again, Paypal sucks~ They want me to ship the item using my own money out of my pocket!


I heard that Paypal will release my payment earlier either if I get positive feedback for the item or I provide tracking number for the item. Then, it all started when I asked the buyer to give positive feedback first to me in order to get the item shipped to him (I explained to him about the held payment). The buyer then suspected me for selling ⊗⊗⊗⊗ item. After few arguments, he threatened me to report to eBay if I don't want to refund his money (about $500).

Still, I asked him to give me positive feedback. So, the next day I login to my eBay account, it says, "Your account has been suspended" waa~ I felt like I have lost my whole life. uhuk...


Anyway, sorry for making this post quite long. Thank you for reading.
I'm a newbie, please give me some help and tips. Hope can find many helpful people and information in this forum! Thanks.

*PS: Just got myself an eBay Stealth yesterday! hope to get very useful information and tips on the money I spent for the ebook.

ok, did you get to keep money a least? anyway, stealth cannot prevent these things from happening, all sellers are potential victims of manipulative buyers but you can have more accounts available to sell on and learn alot here about how to handle things.

Hi neighbor,
Starting selling on ebay by dropshipping $500 items is not the best idea !!
Read the book and the forum and start new ! good luck
