Re: eBay swamped with Chinese sellers
Is it possible they are just dropshipping from HK?

Re: eBay swamped with Chinese sellers
I have been hit hard by this as well. I sell 30 to 40 items a month on ebay. I guess 3 Euro profit on an item is good for them.
The Asian seller will out sell me 200 to 400 a month and thats just one seller. Think God the language here is German. You guys in the UK and English speaking places get hard.
If only I had the funds to buy at a price to compete I would do better.

Re: eBay swamped with Chinese sellers
When buying on ebay, i personally look for uk sellers and will usually pay that little extra to get it slightly faster.

Re: eBay swamped with Chinese sellers
They state all items in UK warehouse. I dont think they are form Chian or HK but find it strange they would bother having 2 user ids selling the same products. They are doing well though so they must be doing something right.

I do to be honest, I know others do to but unfortunately there are thousands of people who don't and as far as they are concerned, price rules

Re: eBay swamped with Chinese sellers
The amount of chinese fakes on ebay is doing my fkn head in. I wouldn't wind if the Chinese, HK sellers etc etc were selling authentic gear but they're flooding pages with cheap fake tat.
Take this link for example > http://clothes.shop.ebay.co.uk/Mens-...d=p3913.c0.m24
If you aren't really in the know and you see a Fred Perry polo for £13.99, your going to opt for that as opposed to the authentic stuff for £30-40.

if the items are in a uk warehouse why does it take 4-9 business days from posting?
those are exact times quoted by HK post to UK
