The best option for you to remain a seller in good standing  is to ship items that you own and are in possession of.

You should sell your  items from where you reside.  Drop shipping is a very risky business platform and most end  up suspended because they don't really know what they're doing and other reasons.  How are you going to answer a question about an item from a potential buyer if you don't have the item in your possession? Not a good idea.

It can help you on your way to becoming a seller.  Good luck should you choose to enroll.

Direct shipping ... of a item you physically have in your possession.

Here are just some of the issues that can arise from drop shipping:

• The seller is relying on the drop shipper to accurately describe the item, and the seller pays the price if the description is wrong.
• The seller is relying on the drop shipper to have the item in stock, and the seller pays the price if the item is not in stock. Just a handful of "out of stock" defects can end a seller's career on eBay.
• The seller is relying on the drop shipper to ship the item on time. If the drop shipper takes too long to ship, the seller's "on time shipping" metric will takes a hit.
• The seller is relying on the drop shipper to ship an authentic item. If the item is counterfeit, the seller is responsible for refunding the buyer's item price and shipping.
• The seller is relying on the drop shipper to ship the correct item (or to ship the item at all). If the wrong item is shipped or the item is never sent, the seller is responsible for refunding the buyer's item price and shipping.
• The seller is relying on the drop shipper to pack that item adequately. If the item is damaged, the seller is responsible for refunding the buyer's item price and shipping.

Looks like our suggestions and replies went to the way side.  Oh well. 

Good luck to you and hope you sell lots of items!!

...and that anyone used for drop shipping actually has the stock in hand to fulfill orders.

Drop shippers need to OWN the items they sell in some way, which guessing the OP does not.

You've already made your unwise decision to drop-ship Chinese rubbish, so why ask now?

Shipping from Sri Lanka to the United States, if that's what you're asking about, might be slow, expensive, and unpredictable.

Respectfully, why did you come here? Did you really want to know the "best option to shipping items.It means Direct shipping or Drop shipping" or did you come to promote your listings?

At the time you posted, you'd already had current and sold dropshipped items. 

I would expect that if you really wanted advice, you'd ask for it BEFORE posting any listings, no?
