Dropshipping
 

Re: Dropshipping
 

that one is about maintaining a UK from overseas, here I just want to find information about drop shipping and stealth combination

Re: Dropshipping
 

Let me get this right

You are in Israel and you want to open a UK Ebay/Paypal combination to dropship items from China (I assume)

You have no UK ID, no UK address, no UK telephone number and you want to run the accounts from Israel

Do you not think your business plan is a recipe for disaster? Even people based in the UK with the capability of opening accounts would struggle with that

Sorry - it aint going to happen but I have no doubt someone will contact you offering to do it for you - at a price of course - what you choose to do then is up to you

Re: Dropshipping
 

I think that dropshipping isn't that a big of a deal, I actually think it's easier than selling your own products, also less risky.

Maybe I understood things wrong, from the forum and the Stealth Guide it looked like its not a big deal to open and maintain an account anywhere.

I'm also not interested for paying someone to do everything for me.

I generally ask if anyone have any advice about dropshipping+stealth, putting locations aside.
Right now I'm in the research phase and I'm glad that I've met your opinion about this, thanks!

Listing trending items, and after one is ordered -to order it from AliExpress to the costumer's details.

Re: Dropshipping
 

And of course your customer will be so happy having waited so long for delivery - only to find it comes from China and so wants to return it - your UK return address will be?

I see now why will you need lots of accounts

Re: Dropshipping
 

Dropshipping is actually a big deal, eBay has banned dropshipping, they don't allow it anymore.

So that alone will put your accounts at a higher risk .

Re: Dropshipping
 

No UK ID - It can be obtained
No UK address - probably the smallest issue
No UK phone number - don't need one initially at least, easy to obtain
And he wants to run the account from Israel - easy!

Re: Dropshipping
 

If he has a UK EBAY account and list some items ,his listing will state the item location is China,and delivery date will be longer.
Unless he is listing some rare items from Aliexpress few are selling,else buyers would not like his long delivery date.
Also what is his return address,where should they return the item to if they want to return the item?if he enters a return address of China,under EBAY MBG,for item INAD,seller pays return shipping,so he would pay for buyer t o return the item to China.
If they file dispute with Paypal,I dont think he can have a Chinese return address,itwould have to be UK,but does he have anyone in UK to receive the return?
What most sellers do is just refund the money,not bother asking buyer to return

Re: Dropshipping
 

Sorry Sax4 - you may be an executive but you are giving the OP false hope

You know, and if you dont you certainly should do, that the game has changed and it changed in the last few months

Addresses, VPNs, and all the other tricks have been rumbled

I can, with my limited knowledge, go on the internet and find out if someone is using a VPN in their IP

I can, with my limited knowledge, go on the internet and find out the first 4 digits of the post code for an IP address

I can, with my limited knowledge, go on the internet and find out the location of the mobile mast used for a hotspot and how that relates to the address being signed up for

If a plank like me can do that then those clever people on Ebay can do much more than I can

To allow the OP to believe this is doable, on new accounts, without specific knowledge and assets, is disingenuous in the extreme

If you think I am wrong then you tell all the people on this forum who cannot open and run UK accounts as they could before what they are now doing wrong -- because they don't know and you clearly believe you do

Yes it is still possible to open accounts but as the OP wants to do? I think not

Re: Dropshipping
 

He may get by with his Ebay account but no gurantee Paypal will not ask for UK driver license,photo ID.
Paypal has done that with an Irish seller,often travel to London,has UK bank account but no British driver license,just Irish and Paypal wants her UK driver license.

Re: Dropshipping
 

Thank you all for your knowledge and opinions.
I'll probably try to open some Israeli accounts that will operate to the usual US eBay market through DropShipping via AliExpress.

Just to add to your discussion I have at least 4 people I know who dropship in eBay and some with multiple accounts. to my knowledge Dropshipping is legal and after the first 90 days it is very easy to maintain and escalate through monitors and automatic systems.

Re: Dropshipping
 

Hi, any update on your stealth accounts? Did you created a UK or Israel stealth account?
