I was interested in becoming an ebay drop shipping power seller?

Question

I want to make an income quickly and get started quickly does anyone have experience in this I do have some experience in affiliate marketing.I have seen drop shippers online that claim you can make sales on ebay. Does anyone know of a good drop shipping company?

Answer 1

Well, first off, I doubt if there are any good drop-shipping companies, but there may be some ways around it.  

I used Doba for one month, lost my $50 membership fee and got my feedback ruined on eBay.  Shipping took a couple weeks and at times didn't include the correct products.  And there is absolutely nothing you can do.  It's totally out of your control.  You are at their mercy to take care of your customers their way in their time.  So...

If I had to do it all again, I would pick a company with low or no fees and less expensive products.  Megagoods has reasonable electronics items.  Research on eBay to see what is selling before listing items.  

Consider buying a small amount of inventory from the wholesaler (dropshipper).  Example: Sell an MP3 player.  Mail it to the customer out of your stock.  Order one from the wholesaler and have it shipped to yourself to replace the one you sold. That way you know it will go to the right place and be shipped as soon as you get payment, not 10 days later.

I would also try to take the incoming revenue for the first few months to build my inventory.  Getting several things at once saves on shipping.  Of course, this can only happen if eBay is your side job or your sponging off your rich uncle.

I quit the drop ship thing, ordered wholesale items and opened a successful eBay store.

Answer 2

The good drop shipping companies don't need to advertise their service.  And they're hard to find.

Avoid any company that wants you to pay a membership fee to sign up.  Most of these "drop shippers" don't make any money on the goods they sell anyway, they make money on membership fees.

If this online selling thing were really easy, everyone would do this instead of working nasty 9 to 5 jobs.  It's hard, so be prepared to make a lot of phone calls and run down leads for quite a while until you find a good drop shipper.
