10 days Processing time and no inventory
 

I do not keep my own inventory and only buy from manufacturers in China when some one makes a purchase. That's why my processing time can be more than 10 days. Sometimes item can go out of stock and cancellation cannot be prevented. Does this have a negative affect on a new stealth account? I know keeping your own inventory is better but I want to find the best niche constantly and keeping a large sum of inventory is dangerous. Just want to know if this business method works as I see a lot of Chinese sellers going up to a top rated without keeping anything in stock.

Processing time (for me) has not been a problem unless your buyer complains and leaves a neg feedback - which COULD happen if you take too long...

What about item going out of stock and you had to cancel an order? Is there anyway to go around this so your DSR doesn't get hurt?

I only sell what I have in stock - if I don't have something, I don't sell it...money coming in is nice but I don't pretend. If item is out of stock and I want to keep listing up, I just make the price ridiculously high.

Just gotta be nice to the buyer, and beg and plead. And NEVER cancel something stating out of stock. EVER.
