Hello, guys.
I'm posting this because before making a decision I want to be pretty sure and not infringe any eBay policy.
I'd like selling print-on-demand custom t-shirts with images of people's pets. I know Printful has an integration with eBay that makes it easier to sell print on demand t-shirts, etc; but I want to know if eBay might suspend my account because this is basically drop shipping and it's against the rules.
1) Is it still okay for me selling my shirts on eBay using the Printful integration or without it?
2) Is there any risk I get suspended?
What do you suggest?
Thanks in advance.
Andry.
P.S: I've read this on the internet:
"Hi guys, so currently I want to sell a product on eBay using Printful. When I upload my first product, my eBay account immediately got suspended. I called eBay service and they say I can't do that since that means I'm a drop-shipper. From what I know Printful launches integration with eBay about 5 months ago. Can anyone help me ?"

That should be ok because you have a contract with them to print and ship the items for you.

the problem is going to be in "how long" it takes printful to produce the item and ship it........ how much it costs (you have to pay them & ebay) versus how much you can sell it for ....... If you've never sold on ebay............I really suggest you sell a few things around the house, just to get a "feel" for it.
One of the things you have to commit to is how long it will take you to ship the item after the order is paid for......and that's where some of these places can fall down....... Also the quality of the t shirt/whatever can be low......so if possible, I would order something from them before getting into it too far...........

Printful does print fulfillment on a lot of integrated sites. Be aware - they use direct to garment printing (DTG) which is NOT screen printing with sometimes variable results. However, people I know who use Printful say they have good customer CS so if you haven't, it's a good idea to discuss the types of graphics you'll be using, particularly more complex representational ones (portraits). You probably already know all of this but thought I would mention it.

Printful is the worst company I've ever dealt with in my life, even worse than ebay or RedBubble.
All their products are junk made in China & they have terrible communication.
Just be warned, you may have problems with them.
