Most experienced Ebay buyers avoid foreign drop shippers.

Are your items really coming from Pakistan? Why would I purchase something from Pakistan only to wait weeks/months to receive it, when I can buy the same thing here in the US for much less and get it in a few days? My guess is you are drop shipping and possibly from another retailer. Stock photos usually disclose drop shipping in many instances.   Many customers can spot a drop shipper and will not buy from them.  I know I won't.  You have the Electric Milk Frother for $12.45...you can purchase the same thing on Amazon for $8 and get it sometimes the same day.  You may want to lower prices and stay competitive here.  You also need to divulge exactly where these items are coming from.  Item location misrepresentation is a policy violation and can be grounds for suspension. Follow the rules and you'll be fine.

Good luck to you and Happy Selling

Mean my e-commerce journey end up here before starting? 😔

Im sorry to say, international drop shipping is not popular on Ebay.

You really need to change your location.  It's important.  Just a suggestion.  Note that drop shipping is a very risky selling platform and most do not do well.  Just a heads up. 

Have a great day

I think the main problem is that you are dropshipping, and so you are competing against every other seller who is listing the same item from the same dropshipper.

For example, if I look at your listing for a "Cool Men Cuban Link Chain Tiger Eye Stone" I see numerous other listings for the very same thing, even using the very same title. Your only chance of success with that would be to price your item lower than everyone else, and even if you do, a race to the bottom will not end well.

Find your own items to sell, take your own photos, write your own descriptions (do not use the AI option; use your own words so the listing will be in your own voice), and that should reduce the number of identical other listings that your current listings are fighting with.

Your attempts at search optimization were useless and spamming the product name field with keywords says that you are an amateur.

You have a small number of listings and some of them are in categories that are overcrowded and the subject of threads on this forum complaining of poor sales/

Your selection of products, whether drop shipped or not, is poor and does not reflect an understanding of what US buyers are seeking.

Add to that the potential drop ship issues.

How can I do that? It's true I'm doing drop shipping business. I'm not alone on eBay.

Now as resident of Pakistan, how can I change? Could you please guide me lit bit more??

[shoprax]

Yes it's true I'm doing drop shipping business. Lot of people doing same and successful with this model. Is there only reason is "My location" ?? Or my account type?? 

[toysaver]

If you sell items that appear to be drop shipped buyers will google and check other listings for a lower price.  People are not stupid (well most aren't).  The only way to sell will be to offer lowest pricing on that item.

Revise all of your 8 items.  You'll see on the top left hand side of your listing where it reads "Revise listing" Where it states where you ship from, put the actual location where the item is coming from.  Yes, there are many that drop ship and most don't last because they are not familiar with that type of selling.  When you drop ship you do not have the items in your possession.  You don't know if the warehouse vendor will ship or not.  You don't know if they will ship the right item ordered by the buyer.  What if the item is damaged or broken? YOU have to refund the buyer, not the warehouse vendor.  Again, it's all a very big risk, but I do wish you well all the same.

Hope this was helpful

Inherent risks of dropshipping include lack of product to fill orders because your supplier has run out.

No manufacturer's warranty because you are not an authorized resellers.

Failure to meet Ebay on time delivery requirements.

Buyer requests for returns motivated by they found a better price. Though you have sponsored adds on your listing page offering the identical item for less than you are. American buyers may not all be bright but they are not all blind.

Long term success for the drop ship model is dependent on choice of your supplier and choice of products. If your supplier is not an authorized wholesale distributor for the manufacturer, you will fail sooner. If you choose the most in demand products you will fail sooner.

Your fellow countrymen are likely to be overstating their success, perhaps to get paid for youtube ads.

It did not take the entry of Pakistani sellers using dropshippers to create the negativity toward sellers who dropship.

You're selling items that can be had for much less from places like TEMU and Ali-Express, or just locally.

Even more than the drop-shipping, your items are simply too easily found elsewhere for a lot less. Try to list items that are less easily found, that probably will not be through drop-shipping.
