eBay Dropshipping from China to the USA: DDP Freight Guide for Sellers
Quick answer — eBay + China → USA DDP
- Source on 1688/Alibaba → ship to Guangzhou forwarder warehouse (7 days free storage)
- LCL sea DDP ~$150–350+/CBM · 25–35 days · best for restocking US 3PL
- Air DDP 3–7 days when a listing outpaces sea transit
- Deliver to US warehouse, prep centre, or your fulfilment address — duties included

eBay sellers sourcing from China need predictable landed cost — not DDU surprises at US customs. DDP door-to-door freight from Guangzhou lets you price listings correctly and scale inventory without holding stock in China long-term.
How eBay dropshipping with a forwarder works
- Order from 1688, Alibaba, or factories — use our 1688 warehouse address
- We receive, inspect (optional), and store up to 7 days free
- Consolidate multiple suppliers into one LCL or air DDP shipment
- Clear US customs, pay duties, deliver to your US 3PL or warehouse
- You fulfil eBay orders domestically from US stock
eBay vs Amazon FBA shipping
eBay sellers usually ship to a US 3PL, not an Amazon FC. If you also sell on Amazon FBA, see Amazon FBA shipping and Amazon FBM guide. For multichannel + 1688, read 1688 dropshipping without inventory.
