[Method] Amazon to eBay Drop-shipping Done Right! Spoon Fed! *Long/Detailed*

[lewy2k]

Hi OP am now at this point of your instructions

{Make a new account and sign up for Prime with a 30 day free trial. Directly after this select that you do not want to pay for the 1 year of Amazon Prime after the 30 days are over. After each 30 days expire, repeat this step. I have never lost an Amazon Prime account within those 30 days, the only time I have lost Prime benefits is when I first started and used my own personal Prime account. }

Now as I create a new account does that mean I will have to create a whole new alias (new email, new name, new contact details , new address)? And if that is the case, how about my credit card details which I will require for the new account! Kindly help me understand this point.

Please read through the thread before asking questions. Had you done that you would have answered your own question.

You can create new accounts with the same name, address and credit card as many times as you want. I have done it for over two years with my name and same credit card.

Thank you for your reply, AlexIv. That's a good idea. But how do I connect my new account with my Paypal account, when it is already connected with my old account?

When you sell on Ebay you can choose the paypal e-mail to receive the payments. I don't think that there is a problem using the same paypal, but i am not sure.

This method is old school,but very well explained.You can make an ebook with this and sell it as a WSO.The idiots at Warrior Forum are crazy for such methods.

I stated in the original post that I know nothing about this method in other places outside the US. Hopefully you can track down someone that has successfully done this in other countries.

Ok so some bad news. I wanted to try this method, but I didn't want to risk my personal eBay and Amazon accounts since I am stepping into the unknown. So I created two separate new accounts for each site. Then I created my first listing in the Clothing and Accessories category. So far, so good. Then a few hours later, I decided to add another listing. While I was in middle of it, I got logged out and when I tried to log back in this is what I got:



My account has been suspended "indefinitely."

Keep in mind that my account was only a few hrs old and I only had one - yes I repeat only one - item. I don't know WTF is going since I literally did nothing wrong. Perhaps starting a fresh account account looks suspicious. I am glad that I didn't risk my main account even though technically they said I was not able to have any other accounts. My other account is almost 10 years old with perfect feedback so I don't know what will happen. I'm not going to log in again for a few days and hope that my other account is OK. Even while I was doing research, there was a "power seller" who blatantly uses the same technique. How do I know? All of the descriptions and title are an exact copy/paste and while that user has 99.7% positive, if I look at the negative feedback comments, one customer mentions that the seller ships items from Amazon as "gifts."

With this news, I don't know if new people will be able to go ahead with this method. It's sad too because I give perfect customer service, and have unique titles. I provide a service by allowing customers to easily find products they otherwise would not have purchased if it weren't for my creative product descriptions.

Yikes! Definitely because you created another account, did you switch your IP in any way to create the other accounts? I would've just used my account. I think the worst that would happen is a warning from the one company that didn't like it. Unless someone has another experience? Has anyone's account been revoked indefinitely for doing this?

 

[Shadeofblack]

Anyone got any ideas on this one? Does Op need a VPS and private proxies to run this model?

You were banned because you made an eBay account on the same IP, which is a red flag for eBay. I would try to contact eBay support and see if there is anything they can do about it, but I have never been in the situation.

I understand that you wanted to play it safe, but I have proven that there is no harm selling on your main eBay account. If you read my original post, I am using my personal 8 year old eBay account and have never had any issues.

I logged into my original 10 year account today using my work computer and it looks like my account is in good standing. That was a BIG relief since I didn't want any damage done to my original account. The previous warning about how I am banned from eBay completely was a bluff. Still, I am a little concerned since I really want to take advantage of the eBay to Amazon method. My second account is banned permanently.

As to the above poster who asked about changing my IP before creating another account: No, I didn't go through the efforts because family members and roommates are allowed to have eBay accounts under the same IP so I am not too concerned about that.

Here is what I am concerned about. I believe the item I chose got me banned. Here's why: Earlier this week, I listed a blouse on my old account. It wasn't for real business purposes, but rather because I wanted to clear my closet of things I don't wear. Anyways, a day later eBay took down the listing due to "copyright infringement" saying that I didn't take my own picture and used the one from the original website instead. They gave me a warning instead of shutting down my otherwise perfect account in good standing.

Forward to yesterday, I decided to list a pair of Levi's jeans as part of the Amazon dropshipping method. I used a brand new account I just created with a feedback of 0. Of course, I used the 2 Amazon images available as well as copy/pasted the Amazon description. Two hours later, the item was removed and my entire account terminated.

Question still up in the air: It appears that some overzealous brands like Levi's are not happy if people use their image. It's strange because it looks like electronics companies like Apple and Microsoft don't care if people use stock images to sell their stuff, but I think that in Clothing, Shoes, and accessory items the stock images also involve models and that is what bothers the big brands. Am I wrong or am I right ? Can someone talk about their experiences selling clothing? How about you OP. Out of the thousand items you sold on eBay, did clothing cause you any trouble?

Hi Lewy2k , did you try drop-shipping from amazon to amazon ?

 

[Kuro Fedora]

Hello everyone, just want to firstly thank lewy2k for sharing this information. I took the advice of other members, and have officially had my first sale today with a $5 profit. This is highly motivating and I will list more as a result. My plan is to sell 500 a month, to reach my 1st goal. To raise money for living and college expenses. After I got my first negative, I didn't give up, I opened a new eBay account (eBay says you can have more than one account on their website) and linked it to my aged paypal account. And, I opened a new Amazon Prime account.

And speaking of Amazon Prime, if you google "Amazon promotion codes" you will find that Amazon Prime is presently offering a 6 Month Free Trial account to students. So if you are a student, like me, that's 6 months free! Thought I'd share that to give back. Hopefully everything works out and I can be successful like lewy2k.

 

[zomm]

Hi Kuro, congrats on your first sale! I do have a question though. Did the customer who gave negative feedback give a reason why?

 

[symbolon]

Awesome thread. Amazon is the real deal

 

[Kuro Fedora]

Thank you zomm! They simply posted, "seller canceled item". I wrote the buyer requesting him to reconsider and gave my reason why I canceled but no response. It's my fault though, I had the item listed on both Amazing and eBay. The first time I ever made a mistake like that. Lesson learned. Just one negative, dropped my score of 10 years at 100% to 85%. No one trusts a seller with 85% feedback. So, be careful with that. I am focusing on my new account now and hopefully things go well.

 

[nico21]

What about invoice/receipts? If you're buying straight from Amazon, and selling it on eBay, the invoice/receipt will be FROM Amazon, for the purchase price ON Amazon.

Example: I buy something from Amazon for ten dollars. I list for twenty dollars on eBay and drop ship from Amazon. Customer receives package FROM Amazon WITH Amazon receipt/invoice with THEIR name...

How do you suggest getting around this? Send as gift? But then they'll get an invoice saying it's a gift?
