I am a new seller. what are the important facts to consider

[soh.maryl]

Since you're in Sri Lanka, the most important fact to consider would be how you can get paid, since your government forbids the acceptance of Paypal.

Facts...just the facts. "Columbo"😂

The facts of life.

You asked a similar question earlier.  I’m sorry if you didn’t like the answer, but what I told you is accurate; there’s no legal way for you to be paid if you sell something on eBay.  If PayPal realizes that you’re trying to have a PayPal account (obviously with a fake address), they will freeze the account and they keep any funds in it.  Plus, when eBay sees that you’re trying to sell from Sri Lanka, they will suspend the account.

You may not like the answers, but we’ve been answering questions from Sri Lanka users for a long time, we’ve looked into it, we’ve seen what happens when someone tries to sell from Sri Lanka.  Then they come back here asking “why was my account suspended”.

Ahm but starting threads, making random replies, getting and receving Helpfuls, being credited with Solutions...  All earn those important BADGES, worth their weight in gold to any seller.   😈

@maxine*j ,

”I” know you’re being sarcastic, I worry that these Sri Lanka users are going to think you’re serious.  I’ve - no kidding - seen a total of THIRTEEN different Sri Lanka users post here in the last couple of HOURS!

@glorybells   What I said is exactly what they are being told by the people who get them into this.  On another thread, I posted a link to the several hundreds of YouTube videos, as an example of one source of their information.   Others have done the same.  When, in the past, I tried to dissuade them of this idea, I was met with hostility, a couple of nasty private messages, and was reported to the mods as being "hostile."  I imagine others experienced the same.   So, hey!  I just go along with the program now.

You answered this other thread with the same question that your asking

https://community.ebay.com/t5/Selling/selling/m-p/31924068#M1761484

So I would say that's your answer to your question.
