How do you deal with people complaining that they receive an amazon box.

How do you deal with people complaining that they receive an amazon box.

Just tell them you sometimes use Amazon's FBA and logistics network to fulfill orders. If they are still not happy then politely tell them they can return it for a full refund.

This sounds like a great system but is it still going? A few comments on the back end seem to indicate it's dead. No reply from admins either. A shame if it is..

I was in the amazon to ebay DS biz before, but it didn't work so well with all the fees etc.

Also I didn't know for how you should keep the items listed and I kept many items even though they didn't made any sales.
I used PY back than and the repricer was buggy and I broke even after some point which didn't made any sense lol.

I might try your tool since I still have the ebay account with some rep, okish limits and no paypal holding limit.

I may be interested in this, but I need some more information.

Always wondered about dropshipping, ty.

If you guys are still interested in dropshipping. PM me, we'll get you started.

We did have a breakage of service while we were reworking the repricer. It's been working at an improved capacity and with more functionalities for a few weeks now. If you're still interested, we'd love to have you on board.

--------------------------------------

@Everyone: Thank you for love and support. It's what keeps us going. I'm really sorry about the breakages of service in past few months. It caused a lot of heartache to many people and I would like to make it up to you. If you'll head over to https://dropship.place, you get a FULL MONTH of free usage (no CC/Paypal required. If you'd signed up previously, let me know through the contact us form and I'll extend the trial). You can use it along with your current repricer and migrate over when fully satisfied. Any issues, I promise to resolve ASAP (most within 24 hours).

Suggestions/Queries are always welcome. I'll reply on the thread once a day (forum rules).

Will this let me use my own affiliate number to make the purchases at Amazon? This would help offset the price ebay charges.

You can't do that currently but it can be easily implemented. I'll PM you when this is live later today.


@Everyone: Gentle reminder. We're offering 30 day free trial so you can make sure our system works for you. You can use it alongside your existing repricer and migration is easy as pie.

The OP said 15% saervicetax. Is that taxed on the monthly fee or a tax on every sale? This would make a diffreance.

 

[wade100]

Still wondering about the 15% can you clear this up as to what the 15% is attached to ie. the sale or the monthly fee? Thanks

 

[uchiha.jain]

@wade100: Sorry about the late reply dude. I've sent you a PM. Just to reiterate, 15% tax is applied on your subscription to us. Nothing to do with your own sales.

Update
If you want to use Amazon affiliate program to get additional cashback, you can now add your affiliate keys in settings and the orderer will use those.


Gentle reminder: We're offering 30-day full featured trial, no CC etc. required. Migration is very easy and you can have it run with/without your current repricer to check the program's effectiveness. As always, I'm on standby for adding any corner cases. Suggestions welcome.

Hey,

have you managed to update your dropshipping guide for people outside of US, as you promised like a half year ago ?

Hey Wooten, good to hear back from you. So about operating internationally, there's absolutely no difference from how it works within the US. The only concern we had was how to operate multiple eBay/Paypal accounts. Turns out that's no different either. You just create different bank accounts for each selling account (2 accounts per bank per person: savings and current). Any other questions, just let me know.


@Everyone: The 30-day trial is still on. Get it while it lasts. There's also the chatroom on our website where you can get your questions answered by the mentors and other users.

I was wondering why use only ebay? Can we use your service to dropship products through our own website? Maybe an integration with Orbelo plugin? And get traffic through instagram/facebook advertising.

Well except there is a huge difference. Only half of European countries bank accounts are accepted, so i.e. where I live, your suggestion won't work.

As per your chat, as far as I've seen, it's pretty much dead and has been for a while and there's no legit way to reach you besides this forum.

I honestly didn't know Paypal doesn't accept bank accounts from some European countries. Could you PM me your country and I'll consult with the mentors to see what can be done? I doubt there are any more differences other than setting up the Paypal but I'd be happy to help if that's not the case.
As for chat, yes the repricer was down for a significant amount of time in past months and there was no marketing activity while we were preparing to scale the system's capacity, so there's your reason for nil activity on the chatroom. That said, there are three ways you can reach me, see if I don't respond within 24 hours:
- Chatroom on site
- Contact us form on site
- This forum

Quick update
Scraper is updated and live on website.

Gentle Reminder
The 30-days trial is still on. Get it while it lasts.

Hi I have searched and searched after setting up an account and not once has it giving me a price from Amazon. I have tried US and UK but no luck

Could you fix this please?

Is this likely to happen in the future as I'm a bit wary if it loses the price when it's price checking?

Could you share a screenshot please? I've attached a screenshot of what I just got.
Also, repricer runs completely on server and uses a different API so one should not affect the other. The repricer been working for two months now without a single crash and you can trust me to fix any issues immediately.

I used this for the screen shot as I defiantly know that its listed on both ebay and amazon.

I have done loads of searches using ebay and amazon and not one product has been able to compare prices.

If you would like send me a search that works for you and I will try it.

I'm reading the guide and some things it suggests are really stupid:

"You’ll generally be posting “Fixed-price listings” on eBay. It’s a good idea to post them as “GTC” otherwise you’ll be paying relisting fee every month. Pro tip: Set the quantity available to 1. By putting up more, you tend to get more “watchers” on the item. When it’s just 1 item for sale most would-be watchers just buy instead"
You are paying relisting fee every 30 days for GTC. The only difference is for GTC it relists automatically for 30 days listings it just ends.

"Get to gold star (10+ feedback) instantly. Buy 10 $1 items from some large stores (It’s likely they have an auto-feedback system, if not message them politely to leave you feedback). eBay combines buyer and seller feedback so you can easily get to gold star in $10 without selling any items. It’s a good way to kickstart your account rather than starting at 0 feedback and no star."

It will cause ban

And haven't even finished reading this guide

Hey cibbia, thanks for screenshot. I think I know why it didn't work for you. Fixing it now. Just give me an hour.
The combination I used in my screenshot was:
https://dropship.place/find-products/asins > 'Keyword search'
Country: 'US'
Category: 'SportingGoods'
Keywords: 'Football'

Let's discuss this further on PM/Skype as I can only reply on the thread once a day. Sent you a PM.

You are right about GTC relisting fees, I missed updating the guide on this one. Doing it now.
Regarding your second point, I am a bit skeptical that eBay would ban you just for buying 10x$1 items. Seems too pre-emptive IYKWIM. I'll ask other experienced users what they think of this.
Please do go through to the end and share any other mistakes you come across. We appreciate that you took the time to give feedback.
