How can I Sell on Ebay?? Need an advice

Hi,
I'd like to ask you about selling on eBay as a 3rd party...
I asked in some internet stores about NOT matching of buyer address with shipping address (e.g. I live in Russia but I want to sell a product from USA internet store to USA customer). Here is the store representative answer:

"the order may be canceled if the country for the Pay Pal account is foreign and does not match the shipping for the purchase"

Anybody knows if it's right or there is any other way to sell (if I live in Russia)???

Thank you :-)

    You'll be selling your product for pretty cheap with low margins. I'd rather start an online/e-commerce store..

    I agree. The small margins and high competition on eBay will limit your success. Setup your own eCommerce store and sell direct. To get started for a little amount do the following:

    1. Go to HostGator and register the hatchling plan. ($3.96)
    2. Go to FxDomains and register a .com domain. ($8.99)
    3. Point your new domain at your new hosting account (Change Name Servers - Read help files on how to do this)
    4. Download OpenCart (OpenCart dot com)
    5. Upload OpenCart using an FTP application (See YouTube for instruction)
    6. Install and Configure OpenCart (refer to OpenCart help docs for instructions)
    7. Start uploading your products!
    8. Generate targeted traffic!
    a) Google Adwords
    b) YouTube Promotion Videos
    c) Facebook Advertising
    d) Learn SEO <--- will be most effective
    e) Related Forum/Blog commenting

    Hope this helps!

      Hi Daniel,
      Thank you. The MyStore will need to get a lot of traffic that I need to build by my hands. But... Ebay make it for you (all what you wrote above). That's why I want to use their platform. Only one problem - supplier will stop delivery if the shipping and buyer addresses are different.
      I'm looking for solution of this problem.

    this is one question that you have to ask to your supplier. Because there is some shipper that do Drop-Ship which mean that the buyer buy from and with his money you pay the supplier. However some doesn't allow it. so you need to contact your supplier and see if it's possible. Well if the supplier doesn't want you to do this way find another one.

      It's to difficult to find the supplier with winning prices and that give me to sell with him :rolleyes:
