Dropshipping products from Ebay?

[vedeus]

Guys,

is this possible? Can I dropship products from eBay like from Alliexpress or other supplier websites on my own store?

I found some products that has amazing shipping time on Ebay and I would love to add them to my store.

For dropshipping I'm using Wordpress + Alidropship so I'll have to buy some another plugin .. I'm just wondering if it's possible

Thanks

It is possible to dropship from ebay, but chances are the vendor will enclose all their info and invoice with the price you paid.

If your looking at going down that sort of route, amazon is a better bet and select the gift option so no paperwork.

I do both. It's a hassle, I do find from one marketplace to another is still solid. eBay people are actually less likely to provide an invoice if you tell them.

I once searched for an item to buy on Amazon but the first listings I saw had a high price. I searched for it on Ebay and found it for cheaper than Amazon and bought it. When the item arrived it came from Amazon and I did more searching and indeed found it for cheaper price than Ebay in another listing. Seller used arbitrage between Amazon & Ebay to make couple of dollars. If I was really pissed off I could've posted negative review on Ebay stating that seller drop ships from Amazon and they would hurt sales. How many sales to take place before you start getting bad reviews?

I dont know it depends on the customer, could be 1 or could be 100. But it is less likely to happen if you dropship from amazon.

So you are saying that it's possible to dropship even from Amazon? Does they allow it? Or it's kinda happening behind their back, ordering for the customer without the invoice as a gift..

I don't know about these vendors, but there is Adidas/Puma/Rebook official stores selling.. what about them?

You dont tell amazon, so dont use your amazon prime account, else you will get banned.

Otherwise buy a product as normal and select gift option, then ship direct to customer.

Right, so it's happening behind Amazon back

But it's fine, I'm from EU and I never used Amazon before. So I'll be actually ordering products on Amazon with the customer's address and picking Gift option?

Yes dont tell amazon!

You order the product through your account and in amazon can select an option to send as a gift, you are then prompted to enter the address of the person receiving the gift who is in this case your customer.

That's amazing, however I'm worried what if I'll scale and will get like 100+ orders every month.. And ordering as a gift every day from amazon will be seen a little bit suspicious or no?

Well now your worried your making too much money! Lol.

If your making that much money, your business model works and you should lower costs by purchasing the product in bulk and setting up your own fba.

I'm worried when I get to that point, and will get a lot of orders, won't amazon ban mi somehow?

Yes, starting fba will be option when money comes

Why exactly is it so bad in the customeres eyes that you dropship? I dont really see why people would paste negative reviews for getting the item they expected in the time frame they expected
