Default Are Sri Lanka accounts now useless?

Hi everyone. I got a fresh Sri Lankan account and I can't list anything from US.
Here's what eBay is saying:
Quote:
"You are based in Sri Lanka, and the item location of this listing is outside of Sri Lanka.

All eBay accounts registered by users based in Sri Lanka will need to apply for approval to use forward-deployed inventory (i.e., where your item is shipped from an overseas warehouse to a buyer in a country that is different from where you are located). For more information, please see our Item location policy.

If you would like to apply for approval to use forward-deployed inventory, please submit your application for approval at DL-eBay-OAM@ebay.com. Your application will be considered based on the information provided"

I think you backed yourself into a corner there, the account is quite useless unless you can give them what they want and ship from Sri Lankan

Anything else instead of flood? You have no idea what kind of business I'm doing on eBay but anyways I appreciate your 2 cents, really.

Approved sellers from there are selling these type of accounts and that's funny that no one never mentioned that Sri Lanka accounts useless.

2 weeks old.
it is likely that you need to use sri lanka as location until the account is established

then they would either just allow to use a different country or it would be easier to get approval

That's right. I had account in Georgia for almost 2 years and established it with only positive feedbacks but they restricted me from US marked because I have 0.34% Item Never Received rate lol.
Thank you for the advice. I'll try to slowly grow sales from Sri Lanka location. We'll see if it works.

Sri Lanka accounts are useless imo
I've tried 5
Only 1 still works and it's because I haven't sold $150usd worth of stuff yet

Seems like once I start actually selling they die.
Would not recommend. Waste of time and money.
I found someone who was able to get the money out of Payoneer for me, I got lucky about that.

all countries outside of UK , USA , GERMANY and a few others are considered to be risky

Haha if it happens you’ll be surprised with prices which would increase dramatically. By the way your message smells like national chauvinism pretty bad. That’s a fact that eBay isn’t stupid but what about you bro.

Here's what eBay is saying:

It appears that some Sri Lankan accounts were able to list items with a US location, but most of the newer accounts have been locked or restricted from doing so. This situation might be due to changes in platform policies or increased security measures to prevent certain activities or ensure compliance with location-based selling rules
