Question about item location
 

I found out that when I list an item (digital) and put the location to Canada or Usa my listings dosn't show up at all (ebay bot hides it) till I put my registred account adress (My home country) in the item location it's then when ebay shows the listing normally, is this happening because my account still new (less then month)?
How to work around this? how I could put Usa adress without problem since my items are digital?

To stay anonymous put an address from the USA and then go in and edit the address and put USA in State and country and the listing shows from the USA without the state sowing

I will try that and see what happens

You know if they find out about your item location they'll nail you for it.

Re: Question about item location
 

How they will find out? unless I get reported and my account get reviewed manually by an ebay agent

pretty much you have it

Re: Question about item location
 

There are loads of sellers out there doing that especially the Chinese ones.

Re: Question about item location
 

This is correct. I see a TON of international sellers that their profile says they are from out of the country but there item listing location says a city in the USA.

Re: Question about item location
 

If eBay finds out those sellers will get in trouble.

Those Chinese sellers could have their items in USA,there are 2 outfits in California with warehouses,they do the shipping for them.
Mostly consumer goods like wall clock,batteries etc ,all made in China.

some are dropshipping from AMZN,COSTCO,SAM'S CLUB/
Some do have their inventory with AMZN FBA or any warehouse in USA

Re: Question about item location
 

either way, eBay hates it when chinese sellers do these things.

All these little baby tricks can and will get them in trouble.

multiple streams of attach and saturation

Hate it....they're actively encouraging it.

They promote Fulfilment Centres and are even opening their own to accommodate them.

Re: Question about item location
 

where?
The Chinese have 2 warehouses in CA filled with Chinese imports,so if a Chinese seller lists one of their items,all they have to do is to forward the order to one of these warehouses,nothing wrong with what they are doing ,it is a nice way for them to earn some US $.
We could do the same,set up something in some country,consumer appliances and electronic goods are expensive in Mexico

Re: Question about item location
 

There is one Eastern European country where there is no AMZN ,some entreprenuers set up a website copying AMZN listings in that country,when you buy from them,they forward it to their warehouse in Germany,its staff will then order from AMZN germany and then ship it to that country ,the couple who came up with that idea is making a lot of money

There's more than you think.

I wish I has a Pound for every time there's been a question on the main ebay/Amazon forums about 'Fishpond' alone.
