Is it possible they are just dropshipping from HK?

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.

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

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

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?
