how to start selling

I know that you have been told that dropshipping from China will make you money.  NO!  It is a very bad idea.  Here's why:

 

1.  The supplier is providing the same merchandise to hundreds of other sellers in competition with you.

 

2.  The supplier is also selling direct to local brick-and-mortar dollar and discount stores, where people can get the things at low prices and not have to wait for delivery.

 

3.  Much of the merchandise will be shoddy, or cheap knock-offs, or downright counterfeits. 

 

4.  You will have no control over quality, authenticity, condition, availibility, or shipping.  But you will be legally, financially, and morally responsible to the buyer for each and all of those things.

 

Find another business plan, for your own sake.

Register in Sri Lanka as a business
Get a Payoneer account.
Sign up for Managed Payments and attach your Payoneer account so you can be paid.
It'll take a few weeks to get everything approved.
