about listing
 

Is it possible to list AliExpress products on Amazon like eBay and send an order by providing information to AliExpress? Is it risky to do so?

Its possible, your account will get suspended very quickly as you will be unable to meet ODR metrics.

That is just the concept of drop shipping

Main issues is that the delivery time will be slow which can kill an eBay/Amazon account pretty fast

Re: about listing
 

Not to mention that some buyers will not like items coming from China unless you are very clear with them

Can I ship items from walmart?

Better option than Aliexpress probably but dropshipping on Amazon is a really tough business these days.

Re: about listing
 

It's not a better option, retail arbitrage is going to get you an immediate suspension, from which there's rarely any chance of recovery. At least with Alibaba dropshipping done correctly you stand half a chance of surviving if you set your handling times and shipping schedules correctly.

That said, it's still not a viable proposition given that folks expectations rarely marry with your settings, they simply don't read the timescales correctly.

Yes neither is a viable option. I would say that ali is worse due to the shipping times. Also, retail arbitrage is buying physical stock from a retail store then reselling. The topic under discussion is pure dropshipping.

Re: about listing
 

No it's not. One is an immediate suspension, one is dropshipping which is technically permitted.

Whether you dropship from walmart (which most do) or buy from walmart and ship yourself, if Amazon catch you it's game over.

Would be game over just as quickly once the slow delivery feedback rolls in from ali delivery times.

Re: about listing
 

Do you mean if you can get away with it or if AZ actually allows it?

Re: about listing
 

Possibly, doesn't seem to bother the chinese sellers who are effectively dropshipping from the same factories.

I've got some in competition with me who've been around for years.

Re: about listing
 

China sellers are allowed to operate under a different set of rules than we are.

Re: about listing
 

I disagree because I've seen plenty come and go, but you are entitled to your opinion.

In any event, they don't need another set of rules when they've an endless supply of accounts.
