[grabb'em]

Can i hear a dropshipping succesful story from Amazon and eBay here? Any dropsipping warriors here and the pain of expenses (different shipping charges as an example) and some downtimes because of pricing structure from producers?

Start your training by searching yourself for information.

The problem I find with dropshipping is that the products are available for anyone to dropship...meaning the price just gets lower and lower and the margin smalller.

Example...you see a nice item which will give u five pounds profit per item....any other seller can also see it and decide to take 4 quid profit a time...and so on

Furthermore...a lot of the aliexpress sellers have their own amazon/ebay stores, and you'll never beat their price

To be successful you need at least some/all of the things below

1. A unique product that no one else can source
2. You need to buy the product wholesale to get a good discount...that involves substantial outlay.
3. You need to be able to improve the offer with add-ons that dont cost you money (guarentee, warranty, support, etc)
4. You need better and more informative ad copy that the opposition

Im sorry but I have to disagree here. I legit source 90%+ of my items from Amazon without any effort lol, just getting "Amazon Choices" and "Best Sellers" from Amazon and listing them on eBay with a 10% (aprox) profit on each sale... AMAZON.

Im doing pretty well at the moment merely using Amazon and Walmart, theres a shit ton of success stories using this "boring and mainstream" supplier, its a numbers game, 10k item on your store with 1% sell rate?? Doesnt matter you are selling a fuck ton a day lol
