been thinking overnight it may be beneficial to open selling accounts in different parts of the world, how hard is it and what do I need to do to make it work?
like an address, I have heard of sites that supply a mailing address, I'm thinking I would need one for each country I'm planning to sell in/from.
dropshipping would work I think, but with my sales would I need to send the item to the address of the country I have sold from to have it mailed? or could I get away with sending it all from aussie.

I'm rather up front about selling from Guatemala, even if I lose a sale or two, because even with a freight forwarder that theoretically gets a package to the U.S., or most other countries in 3 days, things do happen, and I don't want an error on someone's part to snowball into a major complaint or negative feedback. I do of course, usually ship an item in a small coin purse, or other textile, made of indigenous materials as a little bit of bono. I've certainly never gotten any complaints about a coin in a little handwoven coin purse, or a bag of coffee in a larger bag, or even vintage weavings wrapped in an old piece of material...

That said, everything you ask about is possible, and certainly doable, though, when you start relying on businesses to conduct your business in another country, you are running a much higher risk of having an issue or complaint. It might work better to have a buddy in those countries you want to trade from, and pay that person to go to the post office, and handle your shipping, etc.

If you have people you can trust, that might be an easier solution.

I honestly wouldnt do it. If your selling account lists you are in the US you would only be able to charge domestic shipping rates for US customers even though it will be costing you considerably more to ship and would get complaints about how long it takes
