    Shipping question
                     

    I know this is probably a really stupid question. But I’m kind of left out here on a limb because I had hired somebody to help me with my eBay store until I could get familiarized with it and they kind of left me high and dry. Ironically I have gotten my first sale And now I really don’t know what to do which I feel like an idiot but I don’t know how I’m supposed to ship my product. My product is linked with dsers and I don’t even know the steps to take to ensure that I can ship this out in a timely fashion please excuse my ignorance if you have any information it would be so appreciated

    Just to put this out here, this is what eBay allows as far as dropshipping goes:

     

    Source:(https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/posting-items/setting-postage-options/drop-shipping?id=4176)

    Dropshipping, where you fulfill orders directly from a wholesale supplier, is allowed on eBay. Remember that if you use dropshipping, you’re still responsible for the safe delivery of the item within the time frame stated in your listing and for the buyer’s overall satisfaction with their purchase.

     

    However, listing an item on eBay and then purchasing the item from another retailer or marketplace that ships directly to your customer is not allowed on eBay.

     

    If you are able to dropship the item yourself, assuming you aren't violating what's above, then there's no issue. Otherwise you will have to cancel your Sale here: https://www.ebay.com/help/action?topicid=4136

     

    I would also read up on selling policies (https://www.ebay.com/help/selling) as this will help you grow as a seller. No worries as we all started new before! Welcome to the forms too
