Hey guys, I honestly really need advice from people who know online income/reselling/e-commerce because I’m stressed out rn 😭

I live in a country where average pay is like $2/hour and local jobs are honestly not worth risking my safety for. Because of that, I started doing online fashion reselling last year and it actually became the first thing that made me feel hopeful about my future.

I was selling mostly on eBay and Depop and making around $500/month even without putting my full time into it. I source fashion items/bags from suppliers in China and Japan and sell internationally. Over time I learned a lot about sourcing, trends, listings, customer service, shipping, etc.

But recently everything went downhill at once 😭

My eBay account got permanently banned because of VPN/login issues, and then my PayPal got permanently limited even after I showed them tracking numbers, receipts, and proof of deliveries. Since my Depop depended on PayPal too, I basically lost that income source as well. 😓😓😓

Now I’m trying to rebuild completely from zero.

The reason I’m panicking is because I urgently need to make around $5.5k within the next 3 months for a really important life/career opportunity that could genuinely change my future forever. I’m not asking for donations or pity, I genuinely just want advice and ideas from people who know this space better than me 😭🥲🥲 :(((((

I can’t really work normal local jobs, but I DO have skills and I’m willing to work hard online. I have experience with:
• sourcing products
• online selling
• fashion/trend research
• customer service
• shipping/logistics
• marketplace listings/content

If anyone has advice on:
• better platforms for international sellers
• PayPal alternatives
• ways to scale reselling faster
• Shopify/Etsy/TikTok Shop/Grailed/etc
• online skills I could monetize quickly
• rebuilding after bans/issues

I’d seriously appreciate it a lot 🙏 thank you for reading
