Weekly Discussion β€” What's your biggest eBay dropshipping challenge right now? πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Every week I'll post a discussion thread to help UK eBay sellers solve real problems.

This week's question: What's your biggest challenge right now?

To get things started β€” here are the most common problems I see from UK sellers:

  1. Selling limits β€” new accounts start at 10 items. Most people don't know you can call eBay after 30 days and request an increase. They almost always say yes if you have zero defects.

  2. VERO strikes β€” over 3,629 brands are protected on eBay. One wrong listing = strike. Three strikes = permanent ban. Always check before listing.

  3. Amazon packaging β€” buyers receive items in Amazon boxes. Most don't care. Maybe 1 in 500 mentions it. Don't let this stop you from starting.

  4. Pricing β€” new sellers price too low trying to compete. Stop. Find products with under 50 sellers and price with proper margins. Source price Γ· 0.50 = minimum eBay price.

  5. Scaling β€” manually listing is fine for 10 products. For 100+ you need a listing tool. I use UnicornDS (unicornds.io) β€” built it myself because nothing else worked properly for UK sellers.
