They have their own auctions of Western antiques,and Chinese antiques as well,the revolution destroyed many of their own antiques ,some ended up in Europe. | Quite a few stories of chinese antiques ending up at weird low-end garage sales and ppl making a killing on the resell value

I forgot to tell, but i think it's not that easy for them get high limits accounts.
I think for private account the limit are low, and update to buasines they need open company, which one not cheap to do there.

I've run into factories that are doing this. Send all their product via cargo shipment for next to nothing. Warehouse in the States and dispatch. I know competing against the Chinese accounts the shipment cost to get it here is what kills me. They not only have the true wholesale cost that is at least 10-20 percent cheaper from the site they sell it to you. That even includes their profit margin. Then tack on the 20-25 percent of the shipping it would cost to get here, and you have a lot of layers of cost. Any item you compete against with this type of account is at least half cheaper. Then, we add in currency manipulation. 7-1 on a dollar. Think about it in their local market. Earn crumbs to cakes when converting.

I think it's not that easy for Chinese to get high limit account, because for the private seller they get super low limits,to get high limits they need open the company,buy that process in China is expensive

The majority of the Chinese sellers open business accounts that will give them higher limits for selling in eBay

Why do you say so? Doesn't the state encourage commerce?
In my country I pay like $25 and send some documents to open one

Yes, it is quite the other way around now. China exports to us but hardly ever imports from us. Heck, we are too dumb to make anything here anymore anyways. The US has turned into one big China reseller. All we know how to do here is to put different labels on products and mark them up for profit.

What could the secret sauce be..running a legit account for years safely with money into it, selling low-risk items for a while?
How can they list high risk goods like this..maybe its as simple as using an S-Corp..imagine that? I am curious...and there are pretty much an infinite number I can see..they sell things like plastic pipettes and little funnels..kitchen supplies. But some of these shops also sell brand name electronics

btw for Chinese ebay account since the start many years ago you can not stealth it.ebay have good relationship with Ccp and be able to verify id number in their system instantly.before the seller account active up you have to upload Chinese id card and input numbers to verify.this from the start as early as I know back in the 2004/2005

I was cloaked on eBay for many years. But all were accounts from other regions (couldn't create a cloaked account in China). The fact is that cloaking in China is impossible. This is because there are some legal channels to check the identity information of Chinese citizens. So everyone who creates an eBay account in China is a real person. (You can look for your relatives or friends, including friends of friends.) And currently Chinese accounts currently have higher limits. Creating you get a sales degree of 50,000 items. However at some time even real Chinese people may not be able to sign up for a successful China eBay account. (They will be permanently suspended immediately after registration and there is no way to appeal.)

It's a really REALLY crappy place to buy and I know they really screwed their sellers.
Can't wait for them to go bankrupt.
