Dropshipping from ebay to ebay?

[USD]

So I am looking to warm up my stealth account. I found a cheap product on ebay which I want to sell on my own ebay account to warm it up. Would there be any problems if I bought from the seller and sent it directly to the buyer's address? I thought maybe ebay or paypal wont will that. Anyone know?

I am not 100% sure, but I do not see a reason why you cannot do that.
A marketplace is a marketplace and you do not violate any rules by doing so; I have never heard of anyone doing this, seems like a very original idea, the question is does it work though?

If the product is good quality and coming from where it is being advertised (e.g. USA listed and coming from USA instead of China, etc) then likely no complaints and will work fine

One possible problem would be eBay not allowing the same tracking number to be uploaded for two orders.

I've never experienced that problem but others here have said that's an obstacle with eB->eB dropshipping.

^ I'm curious of this, too. I had an experience that's not allowing me to use the same tracking details to my different order. But what if the tracking details is used by a different eBay account? Hmm

[ebaystealth1974]

And if it will still sell, make sure to mark the price up 10-15% so you dont lose money after eb and pp fees. Not really a big deal, though, if it's just a few cheap things.

I don't remember where I read it, but a member on the forum was saying a while ago that it doesn't matter if you're trying to put the same tracking number on two different eBay accounts (as would be the case for eBay->eBay dropshipping where tracking is uploaded by both sellers), it still won't work.

I can't say for sure if that's factual. Anybody want to try?

[ebaystealth1974]

I miss the good ole days, when all you had to do was ENTER a tracking number!

Might be okay for eBay, but not with PayPal. PayPal always ask for a tracking number.

Been doing eBay for quite long, but never had a chance to actually try this
But seems feasible.

sellers want seller protection,you will have to add your buyer address to your ebay account /paypal account so he can ship to that address with seller protection.
or you can ask him to ship the item to you and you ship to your buyer which would cost you more shipping cost.
MOst buyers on Ebay do shop around for the best price,if they find put they overpay,they could file item not as described and make you pick up return shipping.

Been doing it for years. just don't input tracking on ebay and message them with tracking number.

Adding the buyers address to your eBay account is as simple as putting the buyer's address at checkout. I'm not sure what you're going on about, agent.

So you're confirming what I was speculating about, right?

If so that seems really dangerous and I'm starting to understand why so many of your Paypal accounts go down early on. Tracking is critical on a newish account..

You've just not been paying attention! lol

[SaiJin]

Have you also considered buying it from amazon then sell on eBay? Or vice versa?

Yeah that's what I thought as well. Uploading the same tracking 2 times might screw me

I will probably sell it for like 10% less just to sell it fast. It's not a lot of money and I am only doing it to warm up my accounts
