Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries
 

Hello everyone,

Im new user of that forum, and try to learn something from here sience yesterday :)...

I'm based in Poland but few years ago i live in UK so i have UK Adress (actually nobody from my friends live there) and UK bank account (my debit card was expired from 10/17 :(...). I hope to find solution to start dropshipping arbitrage business on Ebay UK.... Unfortunatelly i have many problems to find good way to do that.

If You Are able to answer my questions and give me some tips or direction that's can be great.

1. I have NIN number and old papers (2014-2015) from HMRC for example in my home (is that can be enough to verify my adress in UK?)... I heard that i need to have some bills or something up to 6 month from recive date to verify my home adress... Anyone send some papers older than 6month?

2. If it is impossible can i use STEALTH account to provide normal and trustful services based on dropshipping from Amazon.co.uk to Ebay.co.uk and withdraw my money from Stealth PayPal to my UK account safely (i hope that i can connect my UK account without valid debit card with PayPal UK)

3. There is any chances to withdraw money from PayPal.co.uk to Revoult? (i read that they do not accept direct payments yet)... Anyway i have active my UK bank account but i cannot connect This account with Polish PayPal account...

4. Maybe Do You have any other ideas how can i start?

Thank You so much for Your advices and tips!!!

Have a nice day :)

You have the main difficult thing that is needed for a UK paypal account, and that is a UK bank account, the rest is easier.

You can buy or make a UK ebay and paypal. If you make it, then better to make it on a safe UK ip.

Revoult? - no idea, doubt it...

For the UK limits lifting or verification, you can use your own Pol passport, and then you need bank account or Utility with UK address, and they need to be within 3 months. The docs you mentioned you have might be on the list, not sure but date would need to be 'different'. Online UK bank statement would be best solution though, showing UK address.

A UK ip would be ideal to run it on, so either get a good vpn or maybe get a UK friend to run it all for you.

Sending from Poland to UK or rest of Europe, should not be a problem, as shipping is only 5 days.

When I dropship from Europe, I say the item is coming from UK on settings, so I do not put off UK buyers - however I write in the listing that sometimes items are shipped from EU warehouse if out of stock in UK, and it is the same shipping time, and I have never had many issues.

If you have an accessible UK address, this is good, otherwise it will need to be stealth or mailbox

You can have a vcc to add to paypal, but,actually you only need bank. However if you can get a real bank card sent to your UK address, this would be handy to add. However avoid giving the UK bank your Poland address, or they will start giving Pol the details of the balance etc due to EU rules.

Your main issue is competition, there are alot of people doing this, and also alot of people from Bul, Pol, Rom doing this from their own country and getting sales due to good shipping times and good feedback confidence, even if they are based in their own country, so making a POl account and selling to uk and EU is a viable option too. However some people prefer to buy from UK based account and will pay slightly more for the product for that.

Welcome to the forums - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:

You're in good hands with oompaloompa :)

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries
 

hello,
I wonder if openning an ebay account with your real adress and add a UK PP account to it.
Will it raise red flag?

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries
 

Why dont you just make a stealth account

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries
 

because it suits best for me. Registered ebay with a UK adress and sending all the goods from another country May cause more issues I believe.

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries
 

First of all i would like to say Thank You for help to everyone!

After long consideration i think about use Aliexpress/Banggood (i can pay there via PayPal) to make dropshipping on Ebay. I think to buy Stealth account (it is safe to use stealth PayPal? Do You have free of charge sources where i can read something about using Stealth PayPal account to be sure they do not blocked it?) I dont wanna use more than 1 Stealth ebay acc and 1 stealth PP. Sorry for atnoher questions but i need to be sure what i'm doing before do anything :)

1.Should i get fresh UK VPN/IP and always connect with it?
2.Can i Add UK Bank Account on PayPal without adding Debit/Credit Card?
3.Can i pay through PayPal with bank account linked only? Or i need linked UK debit card as well to make a payments?
4.It is possible to withdraw money from PP if i linked only bank account?
5.Can i linked safetly my UK Bank account to PP stealth account?...If we linked Debit or credit card i know that is safe becouse they do not see our Name and Surname (only card number and code). But what if we will linked Bank Account?

Thank You very much again for help!!

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries

answers
1/yes
2/ yes
3/ pay by bank is ok, but they might see real name. vcc can be added, get from an account seller, for fees etc. or better fees from balance
4/yes
5/ you need bank account for UK anyway.

Your plan of aliexpress sites, you know the shipping time is long, plus I have never seen any profit on those products, they are selling on ebay for less than on ali..

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries
 

5/ I have UK bank account but card is not still valid :(

About Aliexpres... Totaly agree but did You maybe see Banggood.com? They have a products that are not on Ebay (There are some of them but not too many actually). Second thing is they have a warehouse in UK and delivery time around 3-5 days using 2nd class mail delivery. Maybe that's way is better? Otherwise i need to catch plane and come back to UK for few days :D... By the way... What do You think about Dropshipping by Shopify and Oberlo? There is still some space to make money on it? Any other ideas? Thanks a lot!!!

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries
 

no need for real debit card, if you want one get vcc

if you can find profits , then good for you on those sites....

there are a few poland or east europe products that are not obtainable elsewhere, so you could look for those, I sell a few of them in my category .....

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries
 

As long this account is still linked to pp is ok. Protect you to pool any money by paypal direct from your account. And still you will be able to withdraw money direct to B.account

I run on this way for a long time and is ok.
All my listings have information "item send from abroad (EU country)".

true I noticed more sale when based in UK rather than other country

Re: Dropshipping on Ebay UK from other countries
 

did all banks doing this (transferring data balance/income) automatically or is just occasionally/random?
