Can someone take me by the hand to drop shipping success with ebay?

Question

I've tried several programs and have failed. I've been successful with sales on ebay but don't have transportation to find products and get then shipped ontime. I tried the free trial with Doba, researched my chosen products and didn't sell a thing. Just looking for something that will work for me.

Answer 1

If it were that easy, everyone would do it.  Drop shippers make money by selling memberships, not by selling products. That's why Doba doesn't just sell their own items on eBay.

To source a drop-shipper, you need to do some legwork and some phoning.  Google is probably not going to help.  To find a drop-shipper that hasn't been plucked by someone else, you need to look to local businesses that aren't online.

Answer 2

DON'T dropship, ESPECIALLY not with Worldwide Brands.

There are about 100,000 people on ebay selling the exact same items you'll be selling and you'll be discounting like crazy to move the stock.

Dropshipping generally is a bad idea - if the dropshipper runs out of stock, you're the one that has to explain to an angry customer why their order is late and you're the one that's going to get the neg.

ebay's really tough on sellers that get a lot of negs - you get restricted or suspended from selling.

Answer 3

I'd take a different approach, I now sell different items on ebay and found this site helpful and that's how I got started.  http://ebayingtoearnmoney.blogspot.com/

Answer 4

I can highly recommend  http://worldwidebrands.com

they have an incredible list of dropshippers on all types of wholesalers on the net.It will cost you $299 for a lifetime membership but i promise you, it is worth every cent. I think the great thing about worldwidebrands is, because it gives you such a huge list of dropshippers, there are actually products that you might not have thought about selling until you see them on the list and all of a sudden a light bulb goes off in your head.Remember, it is all to do with niches, it is not about selling the most popular items. If you can combine selling popular items and finding a few good niches, you should be doing ok.

Good luck
