Anyone ever use a dropship company to find and sell things on ebay?

Question

or what other ideas does anyone have on finding inventory to sell on ebay?

Answer 1

Hi,

You can have a look at the website below - the guy has created a great program for product sourcing in the UK and gives loads of free advice as well.

Just go down to the bottom of the page and under "Products to sell on eBay" there are videos, articles etc. -- good information.

Rgds,

We did this for a while. It really wasn't profitable. The companies that wholesale the products are mostly NOT wholesalers. They're glorified middle-men. So the markup is low and with eBay fees you're "all in" before you make a sale. We had a Paintball and Airsoft gun store on eBay for 2 years. We were even powersellers! Our average profit was about 5% after all the fees, etc.

There's other ways to make money on the internet. If you want some help you can contact me and I'll give you some sites you can visit to learn how to start a website with "affiliate" marketing. That's where you refer people to resources and get paid through "clicking through" or per application or sale. It's much more lucrative and you don't have to worry about products or fees.
