What's the best product to sell in terms of shipping? I'm looking to sell small items that don't require much in shipping...

Branded items are good for selling as far as selling because they usually have the most value/weight ratio unless you're selling gold nuggets. Want small items to list? Contact me, I have nail polish that's authentic, branded - I can get you anything on my site: www.nailpolishmall.com..

You can ship using first class for smaller items which costs $1.70. The rest of the shipping cost? Pocket it for a quick profit.

hey InfinityAI first of all i wanna thank you for giving us the oportunity to learn from your experience :)

Now, I have some problems... I'm new at ebay and want to make dropshipping because I saw It's an easy way and I don't need investments (that's because I've not been succesfull earning money on the net), please, I need to know how to start doing it, I can't create my product's page on ebay because it says I need to pay for the "Buy it now" option, and if I try to put an auction instead, ebay ask me for my paypal account and the problem comes when they ask me for a CC or a Debit Card and I don't have no card! please help me! how can I start please, I don't have money to invest help me :(

By the way, i'm not in the USA I'm from South America (Peru)..

Thank you mate!! God bless you!!
 
i have been a member on Ebay since 1999, have 100% fb, however have only sold/bought 73 items. This is mainly because i list items from my own closet...every so often (always in the Clothing/Accessories category). Over the past several months I have only been allowed to post 1 item in this category every 30 days.

This is so frustrating since I have a couple items i would really like to list. I have submitted a request several times to ebay to remove this restriction and they wont. They told me to add my cc# to my account info (which I did) and to list more items in another category. I don't have anything else to list in another category!

Question: is there anything I can do to get around this or have it resolved?

Dropshipping is a good way to get started because it requires very little up front, but please be aware of eBay's 21 day hold policy so unless you have a little capital to front for these initial 21 days, you're going to be running into some issues. If you're selling in the US, you either need a South American Account and sell on the international marketplace (recommended) or go ahead and cloak your IP through a virtual private network and create a United States stealth account. If you don't have a card, you can purchase a VCC (virtual credit card) for around $7-10. Let me know if that works!

Contact me personally: I'll help you out. It depends on what brands you're selling and how much feedback you have. If eBay is removing your listings I wouldn't recommend that you keep on relisting the same thing unless you want the same result...and the same result looks like it'll get your account banned.

couple of questions.. when should it be considered safe to sell a 300$ item? (what feedback, how many items sold, after how long the account has aged, etc)

can I create a bunhc of buyers accounts and buy from myself?
 
Infinity...I'm a newbie to these forums and your suggestions have really helped me out a lot....so I appreciate the information.

I'm new at Ebay and want to utilize dropshipping at first because its a way to get into this arena with a lot of upfront money. The problem I'm having to trying to find that niche product that will bring in the highest profit margin.ow I know that it would be crazy to ask you for a niche product but if you could give me some tips on how to find a good product so I can get pointed in the right direction....it would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance...
 
I'm new here and this is my first post, but I have some insight to some of these questions as I have sold hundreds of cars and other items on ebay since 96. Sorry for my obscure methods but,

(thunderplane) One easy way to get 100 feedback in a few weeks on an account is to purchase lots of jewelry at garage sales. People are shocked when you say I'll take all of them for $20. I could get around 5 lbs of jewelry this way. Clean the jewelry, take good pictures, describe with a few lines and price at .99 each at no reserve (cheaper to post) and something like $4.99 to ship. If you use media mailer it will cost you about a dollar to ship. You will sell about 90% of it and whats left of the good stuff you can sell as a "large lot". And what is left of the bad or broken stuff you can sell as a large broken lot. What's crazy is you can actually make some walking around money doing that and some of the junk will brake the bank and sell for a hundred or something. Got a PowerSeller account this way and then switched to other pricier products.

(thechairman) I've discovered that timing is an issue with auction items and I never end auctions on Friday-Monday. I always end them on Tuesday-Thursday and the 6pm to 7pm suggestion is exactly what has always worked for me.

I've got an ebay store on that account now and didn't realize that with a store your listings practically vanish from search after the first month or two. Sucks. Ebay expects you to market your store off-site.
 
Awesome info here. Thanks!

I would ask a question, but I am currently speaking to you via emails :)
 
I was just wondering can you market your E bay auctions on CL?


Thanks,
And have a blessed one...
