Has Anyone Made Large Amounts Of Money With Ebay And Drop Shipping?
Posted by IT CommentatorAug 7
I’m not a power seller and I had made good money.
It is better to work around your interest, that is, you being an expert or familar with what you do and you can sell better.
Do research on what sells, compare with your knowledge in your area, large stock and quick availability (but not to keep too much inventory).
Research alternative websites for items. Try to get some excess stock at lower cost. Flea market may not work for consistent supplies.
I avoid drop shipping for one bad experience. A good drop shipper will not steal your business, especially repeated business. Just imagine the drop shipper inserts his name card and ship the item from your sale to your customer.
eBay can be very successful if you get yourself trained (fast method) rather than reading books lots of books (especially ebooks) and trying out. But you need great proven trainers.
Although I wasn’t trained, I had a vast background of internet marketing until i’d join eBay in June 2008.
AVOID DROPSHIPPERS!!!!
Ebay now is geared toward a very strict regulation of sellers – if you don’t yet know what the DSR ratings are, you will soon. They’ve driven some good sellers off ebay. (Tho I’m still there, I sell collectibles, nowhere as many scam biuyers as in more popular mass-produced categories)
If a drop shipper doesn’;t ship, or ships wrong item, YOU will get the bad rating (anything less than a 5 is bad, despite what ebay says). And with the bad DSR and some negative feedbacks, you will soon be off ebay!
You have to find your own sources – the manufacturer, local stores looking to clear unsold inventory, yard sales, flea markets etc
Also, an excellent resourse for consistent and expert advice re all things ebay, hit their Seller Central board – hundreds of experienced ebay sellers willing to help out on any quesiton from newbies. (Tho some gripe a lot over recent changes in Ebay)
Go to any ebay page, click Community, click Discussion Boards, and then scroll down to Seller Central, click on that. And ask away!!
