Do you mean within Ebay or externally like on Social Media and the such?

Your problem is that you're dropshipping the same junk that a 100 other sellers are dropshipping. Surely there are items native to Sri Lanka that you can sell.

@tdumonde2014 I absolutely agree, why has there been about 13 of these Sri Lanka guys been flocking to the forums since late August? Some of these accounts they have show " long time seller" since 2017 and based in US? Yet there is little to no feedback for selling or buying? How can you have an EBay account for 3 yrs with hardly any activity if any? This is all very confusing esp with the questions being asked by these Sri Lanka's?

Yes, I'd noticed that too.

I suppose it is possible that the SriLankan members bought existing abandoned accounts.

Which might have been sold by the no longer interested owner, or more likely hijacked.

Yes, I know eBay accounts are not supposed to be bought and sold. But businesses can be, and many B&M businesses do have an eBay/online component.

And if they are hijacked, I'm not sure the SriLankans know that. The naivete of the questions argues that these are not sophisticated people.

I posted this in an earlier thread. @silverstatetreasureboxes, you were in on the thread--you replied to this comment I posted (below).

Here's a link to the thread, in case you want to review it:

Yes I do remember that and I find this interesting that these accounts could be bought. I guess I don't understand the process on how someone could " take over" a "dead" account, maybe @pburn you could start a topic on this subject as I know this would spark some interest. I also seen that most of these fellas signed up for the forum all around the same time. Thank you, this is quite interesting.
