Finn.no, gumtree.co.uk it is possible to sell abroad?
 

Hello,

I put 15 products on finn.no Norwegian advertisements site. A lot of interestes in day 2 - 3 big sales... Than blocked my account, they thinking I am selling from abroad.

It is possible to back on finn.no market? Because I can offer products in lowest price.

Also can I sell on gumtree.co.uk from abroad?

Thank you

Couple Questions:
1. Did you you use a Norwegian IP or Lithuanian IP?
2. When you put the items up, does your items show shipping within Norway, or did you put that your items are shipping from Lithuania?
3. Is the website like Ebay where you have to start slow to build up

If you use a uk ip you could sell on Gumtree uk.

It's not the best selling platform to use in another country though...

1. I use Lithuanian IP
2. I just write from google found address and postal code.
3. This is normal advertisements page.

But lot of a interests, Norwegian customers don't care if I send product from abroad. Important price!

There's your mistake.
I assume you used a Norwegian Address, if so the combination of LT IP + Norwegian Address made you a target.

That's great but what you need or should do before trying again is the following:
1. Get a Norwegian IP (VPN/VPS)
2. Find out if the website allows for you to ship the items from another Country, otherwise your going to keep getting banned. Also, does the site require some type of phone verify?

They don't require phone verify. I can put my Lithuanian number, but they can found me by number. Also other sellers can report me.

So the phone was/could of also been a problem. You should consider the following before starting again:
1. VPN with a Norwegian IP
2. phone number in Norway
Not sure what else you would need but there's a chance that you could be reported/flagged by mentioning that your items ship from LT....hopefully not.

Hello, I talk with finn.no stealt sellers they told they don't check IP, but finn.no is connected with Norway financial institutions so they check activity and block user.
