How to deal with invoice for real Chinese goods

davidbeckham2012 · #1 03-23-2013

if i am selling genuine custom electronics goods from china,

and ebay or paypal ask for supplier invoices and where i get my items from,

do i simply supply an invoice

why the hell should i give my source for products to ebay or paypal? its like the equivalent of me going to some shop and asking who their supplier is,

yeah as if!

Ridiculous.

random name and address on invoices will finish you off.
name and address must match the ones on your accounts

FHeavensS, read what the OP said.

He is asking about naffin INVOICES.

WTFudge has that got to do with having name & address matching?

When you signed up to use both ebay/paypal, there were T&S for both parties.
In them is their implied rights to ask for whatever they like.

Have you been asked yet or are you being a Boy Scout and being prepared?
Grey area as to the better method of dealing with this.

and think why could i write this.

he changed his post, he asked if he can just photoshop invoices with random name and details...so i replied him

I did the edit.

Users often ask if they can supply random details OF A SUPPLIER if their goods are Chinese.

I have read that many times.

by the way random details have worked for me many times and paypal never called to check anything, they simply lifted limitations...EU details.

To the OP (Original poster) PP can and may check the details.

If you know your supplier just ask them to provide invoices for what you need, most are willing.

If not then you need to be creative and make sure you have access to the phone number you put on the invoice to take a call from PP if they do indeed decide to call you......It does happen regardless of what anyone else has to say....if they do just tell them you not willing to discuss anything.

Good luck.

u know i speak for two different things right? or maybe not?.....

davidbeckham2012 · #12 03-26-2013

thanks

yes, im basically wanting to setup stealth on ebay/paypal so getting everything prepared.

im going to get a new bank account on a new address (which i have access to).

and i think i will need a virtual credit card for the paypal.

The only other things im checking are the the bits where ebay may ask for supplier invoices, and then i read they even ask for a photo of yourself with the item?

davidbeckham2012 · #15 03-26-2013

hi thanks

at which point do ebay/paypal normally request supplier invoices?
is it after reaching certain selling limits?

what is your guys experiences of this? i mean, i don't expect to sell thousands, its going to take me a while to start building up sales.

at the same time, im going to be building my own ecommerce site simultaneously, so i can grow,and eventually the long term aim is to have everything go through an ecommerce site, and preferably without the need for paypal eventually!
