Selling on USA Ebay

SirNight · #1 06-20-2016

Hello everyone.
I'm based in the UK. I currently sell on UK Ebay. I'd like to sell on US Ebay. I have a few account related questions.

Can I use a random USA address to create ebay and paypal accounts? If I can't what would you suggest?

I don't have a US bank account. How can I cash out money from paypal? Does bitcoin work?

Did you see any of the numerous threads on this if you used SEARCH?

Many posts on the topic.

I did use it but I couldn't find certain answers to my questions.

you can sell on .com with your UK account, don't need a new one

Can't you sell on .com if you have 10 positive feedbacks and a few other things?

No. Not from Asia. And yeah, quality stuff.

Then it's really your choice - make sure your buyers are happy.

One thing - if you can - use DIFFERENT paypal for paying your supplier - paypal does NOT like dropshipping much and can limit you if they identify you are doing dropshipping (very easy to do so)

You dont need a Ebay U.S. account to sell on the U.S. platform. And just be careful with dropshipping. Have alot of Aspirin ready for the headaches. Been there done that

So I can basically list USA based items using my current account? I mean I can say that the item is in the US but I'm in the UK?

Asia is a big continent, many quality stuff are made there

Considering you aren't living in the states it'll be a headache to open an account and if you do by using random info, you will most likely get a 0/5 limit account. I would suggest just buying an account from the marketplace and work it up.

When you buy an account, your paypal will be good to go and you can just send the money to your current paypal account which might be risky or you can "pay" for a service from the US account to the UK Paypal account.

Anyone feel free to give your input if you think otherwise.
