I don't think the seller does.
Simple answer really; get your DSR's. Have enough backup funds to support you when funds are held, and the limit will soon be lifted.
Just get on with it.

Is it even worth dropshipping from China? Correct me if i'm wrong, but surely after import duties / tax / ebay / paypal fees & most importantly (exchange rate) the profits would be belittled? I would have thought that the only way to make any money from China would be on a half decent exchange rate & importing bulk.

Just asking the question?

It's only happened to me once, and then because someone was trying to rip me off.

Claimed money had come out of his account for something he didn't buy and ebay and hadn't received.

Hi Inferno,

Just an opinon, 'most' sellers on Ebay who sell from China and I generalise as I don't have statistics just my own observations when I'm comparing stuff don't worry about import duty as it will pass to the customer or it's illegally dodged.

Which are both wrong.
Your customer wouldn't be too happy paying the Customs bill and 'illegally dodged' is exactly that, illegal.

You can send feedback reminders to customers, I'm not sure if this applies to a personal account, but certainly does with a business one. The thing I want to know is, I already have 11 feedback as I'm just starting out. Desperate to get upto the 20 quickly. Already have another 9 on their way so that will make up the 20. Now I hear about this DSR's and that I need 50!! Argh! Ebay/Paypal take the piss.

Ultravox - I don't sell anything dropshipped from China or attempt to avoid duty, your comment makes it look like I am.

Just pointing out an observation.

That wasn't my point.
The point I was making is that avoiding Duty is illegal and shouldn't be done. You should always factor into your finances Duty/Custom costs.

Hi all! Does anyone know of a good dropshipper(s), speciallising in baby clothes and or other goods relating to babies and older children? I know about CardiffCash&Carry. There are good, but a bit limited for me. Starkids I also know of, but it isn't what I am looking for. Rock the Baby is not for me either. I have tried emailing many different online baby/kids shops, but only one does dropshipping and guess what..? They don't allow dropshippers to sell on Ebay which is where I want to start selling! Anyway, would be grateful for any advice on this matter. Many thanks, Natalie.
