Dropshipping from Japan. Haven’t used eBay in a while.

[RustyShackelford]

I found a way to dropship items from Japan. My question is for item location if I put USA and ship from Japan (it comes really fast about 3-4 days) does eBay/PayPal frown on this or can I do that. For whatever reason people don’t bid/pay as much if the item location is Japan even though they get it in the same amount of time.

In general, eb/pp tolerate dropshipping but frown slightly upon it - some buyers will be annoyed expecting something from USA and then getting it from Japan - you may get neg feedback/complaints

It seems like they are mentioning this in the latest policy updates...getting rid of item locations that don't match actual ship-from address. I saw it a while back.

your buyers will be pissed if its an expensive item and will leave neg feedback and rape your account. just tell the truth or import it urself.

How do you ship in 3 days from Japan? EMS?
Some items can get stuck at usa customs for days.
