Selling clothing from Thailand
Hello, and thank you in advance for your help.
I am looking for advice on the best way to start up some new accounts, that will enable me to sell 200 or 300 items per month from the start. I am selling clothes from thailand that sell for about $25 each. They only cost me $5, so the profit margin is pretty good, but the low cost should not throw up any red flags. None of the items that I sell are name brand, so no red flags there.
I sell primarily to the U.S. and I am American, but I got kicked off of Ebay, after a business partner, "friend" screwed me over, and caused alot of problems for me. So I can't use my own personal information.
I have been selling these items with the help of friends here in Thailand, but their accounts keep getting limited for low DSR's because overseas shipping takes a few weeks, and the buyers don't read that the item comes from Thailand.
I have purchased, and read the Ebay Stealth book, and read many of the posts on this site.
Based on what I have read, I think that my best option is to purchase several verified U.S. Ebay seller accounts.
My question is how long do you think that I will be able to stay under the radar, with these low cost, generic items. I understand that selling high profile items can get sellers limited to 10 items per month. These items are not high profile. I would like to list just under 100 items per account, per month.
I also understand that I will not be able to verify a social security number on these accounts, but they let you sell for a while before they ask for that info.
I plan on listing my items through seller sourcebook, so I won't actually be logging into the account very often. Hopefully that will avoid Ip address problems.
I'm kind of old . . . almost 50, so many of the technical things in the ebook, and on this site are confusing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |
