Options for an International Seller

[jainy25]

Hello

So now with the Managed Payments fully in place, what are my options as a stealth account holder to be able to sell in the eBay US marketplace, while living in Asia?

I have a couple of good standing, aged eBay US stealth accounts from last 4 years, and I wanted to get back to selling. But with the MP and SSN issue, I know it's kinda dead for now.

change the accounts to your home country , ebay do not want non-residents anymore

they do not just check identity but also limit which banks can be used so that bank accounts available to non-residents have largely been blacklisted and those that have not are likely to be soon with ebay accounts using them being restricted indefinitely

No access to US bank account for you OP?

No, unfortunately not. I am in India. So if I were to sell on eBay US again, would I be able to use something like Payoneer on my real account?

yes , payoneer works as stealth but you need access to banks and docs , opening up in foreign lands is only good if you have access there

So what if I use my Indian bank account only? Would that work?

It'll work if you change your account to a India account. That's not what you want, you want to run a US Ebay account from India. That's impossible these days. To do business on Ebay.com in the US, only a real US bank account works. Payoneer or foreign or virtual only banks do not work in the US.

use indian registration and infrastructure , this is the safest bet

also indians tend to have large families so it should be possible to get additional people to register as well

You are in India,you can list your items on Ebay USA,why do you want to have a US Ebay account?

USA/UK accounts are the best accounts you can have , they allow to sell copyrighted and branded items with a reasonable strategy

running from third world countries will mean more scrutiny and higher VERO risks

so where does the buyer return the item to,if he files INAD?ASSUMING he is shipping from India.
I am talking about item valuable enough not to just drop it and no need to return.

You can always give another address. In ebay you can have different addresses for buying, ship from, return etc. They can be in different countries even. Everything is good as long as you put the actual ship from country in the listing.

if the item INAD is to be returned to India,who pays return shipping??
question-the last time I tried to buy from Indian exporter,the Indian government would not allow them to ship the goods until he can show that my payment has been sent to his Indian bank account,is it still so??

If seller has INAD, they always pay for return shipment.

This sounds like BS from the seller
