Selling below market value can contribute to a MC999

So starting price for BIN or Auction must be at least $9.99

I dont think so

with localtion in CHINA ,for a same item,I listed same price as my US account with location in US .I get 1 sale per week in chinese account and 6 sales in US.
I then further drop price in that chinese account for 30% less I still get 1 sale per week.

this means buyers who will buying china shipped product,they will keep buying,those who won't buy from overseas for whatever cheaper reason they won't buy. In most cases.

So dont blame chinese sellers,we have limited market,proberly only 30% buyers on ebay will buy item straight from china and those people most like importing stuffs to re-sale.

you are kidding.
this much money in china not considered a lot.
You certainly havent been here.
the food price and living cost are exceeding USA price,NO joke.
Compare 3 years ago,there are only 50% chinese ebay sellers still doing ebay business,50% already quit because they can't make enough money and rather do other business.

and this rate still dropping,I believe in another 3 years,you will hardly see any small chinese sellers,only those wholesalers will alive.

997turbo,

Regardless of what you said earlier I am not naive enough to believe that standards of living in China are the same across all country. China is still a very poor country with much of it's population living on basic needs. I spoke with enough sales people to find out how much a factory worker makes in China while working for 12 hours a day and sometimes even longer. So for a villager to make over 4k profit a month is quite a lot of money. Hopefully after August there will be less Chinese sellers visible on eBay. They have enough outlets to sell their products to local market, they should leave eBay, Amazon etc alone.

What is the avg rent and income in China or at least where you are?

[danshan]

$700 bucks a month is not going to get it done in any city in the us and that's avg in china

[stanislav]

So now imagine making over 4k a month profit ...

Average salary for factory worker is about $500

[danshan]

Yeah no joke 4k a month is huge there

[stanislav]

It's okay though. After august I hope a lot of these Chinese sellers will disappear from eBay search results due to their excessive defect rate.

Trying to get quick feedback is always a bad idea. Stealth is slow and watch it grow!

Yep, you are right. Do it your way dan.
