David Latunde restored parity for Sheppey in the 74th minute, sending the contest to penalties, where Faversham held their nerve to book a place in the First Round.
They will now travel to Snodland Town.

Oliver Lankshear opened the scoring on the half-hour mark before Kester Jones added their second in the 75th minute to secure their passage through.
Their reward is another home tie, with Premier Division Bearsted heading to Staplehurst in the First Round.
