Selling From Pakistan
've registered my eBay account with Pakistani details. My intention is to sell from Pakistan within the US Marketplace and ship items from the USA to the USA, stating the item location as the USA. I also have a warehouse in the USA for shipping purposes.
However, upon clicking the 'sell' button, an error message is appearing.
"You are based in Pakistan, and the item location of this listing is outside of Pakistan.
All eBay accounts registered by users based in Pakistan will need to apply for approval to use forward-deployed inventory (i.e., where your item is shipped from an overseas warehouse to a buyer in a country that is different from where you are located). For more information, please see our Item location policy.
If you would like to apply for approval to use forward-deployed inventory, please submit your application for approval at pksl@ebay.com. Your application will be considered based on the information provided." I am really thankful to you if you gave me permission to sell on eBay. Best Regards

·1 year agoTo me, these drop ship situations are very simple...if we have to explain it to you, you can't do it. If you are buying from a true wholesaler for re-d purposes, then you already know what to do. And, as many here have said, "I have a warehouse in the US", if so & you have gone through that expense, then I'm sure you already know how to move that inventory without a bunch of us on an eBay community board providing details. Because no one in their right mind would have a warehouse filled with inventory and then say, "now what, how do I sell it?"

·2 years agoIf you're dropshipping from China, why do your listings say the items are in Pakistan.
That's a policy violation.

This reads that you want to drop ship. Here's a heads up...drop shipping is a risky and poor selling platform. Most do not last and are usually suspended as many do not know what they are doing. I would advise you to choose another venue to sell in like items from your country, perhaps spices and teas, etc. When you drop ship, you have no control over your inventory. Someone else does. Maybe they'll ship, maybe they won't. Maybe the customer will receive the wrong item, due to someone else having control over an inventory you do not possess. You'll have to refund. If you drop ship from a retailer, which we are seeing more and more on this forum from people in your area, you are violating eBay policy and could very well become suspended. Just giving you some info before you dive in head first. Consider another route of selling.
Good luck to you

·2 years agoAs @fashunu4eeuh mentioned follow the instructions eBay gave you. EBay may be starting to apply some review and oversight over sellers with Forward Deployed Inventory (FDI), or who are drop shipping from wholesale suppliers with whom they have formal arrangements.
