Almost 1000$ sales ebay dropshipping

[Deleted member 657006]

So you earn $300+ a month dropshipping over 90 days.

Total $925.35

Well done keep going.

What were your outlay and pure profit?

Ebay fees and PayPal fees can be a bitch, are you with eBay and your bank new setup for selling on eaby or still connected to PayPal old way .

Very inspiring journey OP keep it up and I will be following

I have a question, how many ebay accounts do you run?
Do you ran any stealth accounts?

ebay doesnt allow direct dropshipping anymore I thought? Or are you sending it to a warehouse first and having them fulfill your order?

They allow dropshipping, but under certain conditions, if I remember correctly, they do not allow dropshipping from other retail websites like aliexpress, but they can't really know if you're doing that and they don't really care as long as you're bringing in sales, and their (your) costumers are happy.

My initial capital was about 250$, I only spent 20$ on tools. Profit is around 30%

are you with eBay and your bank new setup for selling on eaby or still connected to PayPal old way .

I'm still using Paypal, I filled that form ebay asked for and now I'm waiting for their reply.

Congratulations

We all start somewhere, and they’ll be big ups, and really big downs along the way.

Best piece of advice I can give to you (and to myself) is that sometimes stuff just won’t go right.

And when that happens, the effort you put in won’t reflect the small (or zero) results you get.

In those times, start being proud of the consistency and effort you put in everyday, and know that if you stick at it long enough, the results will come.

To be totally honest, I’m in one of those dips right now, as @GringoMonkey knows. So if you see knockbacks, bans, etc in the future, just keep going.

With all that being said, it’s great to see someone taking action on my thread.

Well done.

Good work for a newbie.

Tbh, I think $100 is pretty low amount of profit for the amount of effort spent. I would recommend learning how to use paid ads as soon as possible so that you can make and market your own store for much higher profit margins, while lowering the time spent.

Yup. Ebay ds used to be a good method in 2008 maybe.

One of my friends used to sell 50k worth of products and he showed me his net, it was maybe 1-2k lol so much work for 1-2k a month and eventually he was banned.

Op- congrats on your success - it shows u a proof that u can make money online. That being said, If i were u id find another method with better profits less risk and less work.

Congratulations

Thanks for the kind reply, it really means a lot. Tbh things weren't promising at all in the beginning, but I kept going until I started seeing some results because I knew it won't always be easy.

I wish you the best of luck in your future (and current) projects <3 .

Thanks again.

Thanks for your passage.
I'm not actually spending much time on it, and I know I may get banned at any moment, so I'm currently searching for another method while maintaining this one.

How do you deal with returns? Or dishonest buyers that say they didn't receive the described product? Is it just a loss?

LOL, a lot of sellers don’t know what is net profit! They think if they made $50k in sales they are going to be millionaires in no time. They forget about expenses and cost of goods... etc. at the end, they end up closing the business. There is no difference between someone making a million dollar a year in sales and his profit is hardly $20,000 for example than someone working for McDonald’s at minimum wages. At least working got McDonald’s you get to put something on your resume, like working for a fortune 100 company and maybe you get a discounted health insurance .

I didn't have much problems, when the item is cheap I just refund them and get a refund from aliexpress, but when the item costs a bit you may end up taking the hit on your own, unless you can convince aliexpress.

This is something that anyone sells products have to deal with it one way or another, and this is why drop shipping for me is not something I like to get into, I would rather make my own products, sell and ship, at least you know you shipped the right product, but again, with drop shipping you avoid having tons of inventory that you may not sell, there are cons in both business types ( operating inventory based business or drop shipping), try to find a good & honest drop shipper that can work with you on monitoring quality control, saving all records for at least 2-3 years from shipping tracking #, shipping weight and may be put the drop shipper extra to send you pics & video of the product put in the package if the item is high cost item.
The reason is I mentioned shipping weight ( including and excluding the shipping box weight) is because I myself got some people claiming the box was empty or if they order more than one unit, they claim they only have received one unit, documenting the box weight and then the whole package weight as well as the item weight will help you disputing your case.
One funny thing I have gone through was a client claiming there was a bug in the product, the shipment was over $3,000 that was shipped internationally! So I had one of the sales reps answer the client by telling them: we normally will require doing a genetic testing for such bugs to prove the bug is of an American origin, and is not from his country, in which the bug may have entered the package through the customs in his country. LOL. This was enough to shut the hell up with such dishonest type of clients.
