[Method] Make money with a Smart Amazon Dropshipping method

[LucasL]

Hi,
I've only been here a few weeks on this forum, and I've already learned a lot.
Here is a method that does not require much skill, nor really a lot of money to start.
By the way, sorry about my English, it's not my native language.
For moderators, I apologize if this post is not appropriate or in the right section, if so, I will delete it.

What we're going to do:
We will search and sell products that are out of stock, so we do not have to make the product sheet / images, and most importantly, we have products with comments already existing.

What you're gonna need:
- An amazon seller account, you can create one for FREE at
LINK (not affiliate)
Just choose "Sell as an Individual", so you don't have to pay anything.
That's all you need.

When you have your account verified, we can proceed to the product research.
Step 1 : Open google.com
Step 2 : Type: site:amazon.com + "We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock. " + "See all * customer reviews"
Step 3: Replace the "*" in the sentence above by a random number (10-100), it will correspond to the number of comments for the product on amazon.

Step 4: Click on a product page and start searching for suppliers for the product in question.

My method for finding a supplier:
I take 3 words from the product title that are relevant and I google for ecommerce sites that would sell the same product.
If I do not find, I go to google image and again, I look for a seller.
If I haven't found, I go to a marketplace like cdiscount then type the product name and search for a seller.
If you still haven't found it, go back to step 4 and find another product.
I don't spend more than 3 minutes per product. If I can't find anything, I switch to another product. There are so many other opportunities !

When you have found a product and a supplier for the product, it is time to add it to your account.
At the end of the product url is the ASIN, copy it.

In my case, the ASIN is B00480K4S6

On your seller account, click on: catalog > add products
Enter the ASIN product in the box and click on search

Choose the price and delivery times according to your supplier.
For the prices : I do x1.5 the price I buy.

Repeat this for several products and you'll start making some money. This is not a method to get rich in a day, but you can make a few hundred or even a few thousand a month. The best part is it's scalable.
Everything's set ! As soon as you get an order you just have to order the product from your supplier indicating that it's a gift. (That way no bill for your customer)

Very unique method. Will try it.

Great method. How will you deal customer confusing, since the package was not by amazon?

 

[LucasL]

thanks for sharing. I'll give it a try

You're welcome

Thank you ! Most people do not pay attention to the difference (at least in France), when they do, they are not disturbed. As long as it is not a cheap package
I've never had a problem with that

Thanks for the method. From your experience could you say from what contries most of your suppliers? China?
And have you had any issues with Amazon with your method?

You're welcome !
I sell on amazon.fr and most of my suppliers are european. That way I keep my delivery times as short as possible and a good quality.
The only problems I had were 2 refunds because I was working with a poor quality Chinese supplier. I don't work with them anymore.

Which countries Amazon is safe to use? Can we use this on Amazon (US)?

I've never done this in the US, but the method is the same and is not illegal. So, yeah, no problem
I think in any country where amazon is available

Thank you for the answer. What do you include in a product description, is it just copy/paste from the Amazon seller?

Yeah, that's right. You can change a few words if you really want to. But it's really not a necessity.

How about returns? What if your customer wants to return the product. What happens then?

As for a normal ecommerce, you can either fully refund and he returns the product to you. So you can use the product the next time you have a sale. Or you can partially repay him, and he keep the product. Depends on the reason for the actual return.

Have you tried dropshipp from aliexpres? What max delivery time is working for you ?

 

[nghiadd]

what is your product price range? And how do you deal with a low budget?

 

[LucasL]

Very useful thank you

You're welcome

Have you tried dropshipp from aliexpres? What max delivery time is working for you ?

Yes I tried, but I only had trouble with the Chinese (2 refunds). I advise you to find better quality suppliers even if it costs you a little more
After a week people start asking questions, so I'll say two weeks maximum for delivery time.

what is your product price range? And how do you deal with a low budget?

Product price range: Nothing below 20€ and nothing above 80€. It's about $20 and $80.
With a tight budget, the maximum purchase price would be $40 I think. Then it depends on your budget. If you have $100 in total, it'll be more like $30.
I hope I made myself clear

Going to try it out, thanks for sharing, op.

You're welcome !

On average what is the refund rate? Also, this method probably can't work for electronics right? Because of the warranty issues.

The return rate depends mainly on your suppliers, whether they are good or not. I sold outdoor lamps, weighing equipment, sports equipment,... products that when people see for real, they are unlikely to change their mind when they see the product. These products were sold with a return rate of less than 3%! The Amazon average is 5% to 10% I think.
A counter example would be clothes for example.

Thanks for the method, can you maybe tip for some sites to look for suppliers ?

 

[Dante12]

Solid method, like it! You don't have to invent the wheel, just use your brain and take action.
