You need to read up and learn how eBay works especially selling.

Buyers are not expecting you to make an item after they have purchased as you don't have any mentioned of made to order in your listings. In fact you have 7-9 business days arrival.

 

Also if you don't have funds to furnish orders, perhaps you shouldn't be in business.

 

If you had read the information on selling for new accounts you will have seen funds are on hold until you prove to be a reliable seller.

 

I suggest borrowing the money so at least you can supply the buyers you currently have, then prepare yourself better before the next sale.

To add, I hope you are selling the genuine branded items as copies are illegal in Australia.

Kopes, it can't be the OP's account - those were designer sneakers.

 

 

The items are made to order.  But as Kopes said, you should have the money

to make the orders up front.

 

And what is an Irma?

I am guessing that it is the model name of an item of clothing....it also stands to reason that it would be made to order.

Are you actually an Australian seller and drop-shipping from China or a Chinese seller using an Australian address?

 

Either way buyers are very wary of fake items from China..........................
