1-If you have a new PayPal account and you use PayPal as a form of payment, be informed that PayPal may freeze your money for a period of 21 days until the product is received by your customer. And as you know PayPal and eBay are now separated companies so it is important that you read any updated policy they may have issued.

2-Always be sure that the supplier can supply your items constantly. From time to time, you may want to ask the supplier of the number of items still available. Ask the supplier if they have email or phone notification about their items quantity. Again it will be a big problem for you to sell an item that is not available. This will lead to bad feedback and thus fewer sales.
