My advice would be to actually read the User Agreement which you have already acknowledged that you read, and then come back here with any questions which may arise.

Your images are copied from other sites like Shein, Alibaba etc and your items are in China !

If you're dropshipping , read this

your username being similar to those used by sellers we all know, that you lift your items from dodgy websites, that they are all coming from China , including the potentially lethal torch and that you are asking how eBay works, really?

All of these make you look like just another dodgy seller

If you are genuine, the process would be to appear genuine

Right now, your listing scream you are anything but

Not to mention their lifted photos state 'free shipping' but the postage info states

Freight - Check the item description or contact seller for details

And

Located in: hangzhou, China International delivery of items may be subject to customs processing and additional charge

And now they've all been changed to: Free Australia Post Standard Parcel

One of the listings / images clearly shows another eBay user's name.

Another of the listings shows: Note: Victoria,Western Australia not shipping.

A search on that phrase brings up other listings elsewhere.

Everything is more expensive than the listings they've copied and higher priced in general, so hopefully no buyers will be caught out !

And while this is nothing to do with the OP, disturbingly , 2 out of 3 of the listings have shown up on small, as in not many items, hijacked accounts. Complete with the same images showing another seller's user name

So now this selling account has been 'tested' , (including here) , to see if everything will go through as listed, the ridiculously

overpriced items ( obviously done intentially as a test) have dropped . eg: was $104 now $35

And the items are now in Victoria !

Buyer beware
