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

[Deleted member 676914]

Hey great info man, I'll grill you a bit more on some stuff later to help me understand why you're not getting banned.

But more importantly for now, as for arsclip, I've been messing with it for hours and still can't figure out how you can make a macro to paste each line seperately. Sure I understand the Tab command, but the Paste (as configured) command always pasted the last entry.

Could you help me out?

Use the [POPUPITEM=X] command. If you copy something, that will be stored in POPUPITEM=0, and then the last thing will be moved to POPUPITEM=1, etc. etc.

Here's my script for a normal address.

[POPUPITEM=4]

[POPUPITEM=3][TAB REPEAT=2][POPUPITEM=2]

[POPUPITEM=1]

[POPUPITEM=0][TAB REPEAT=2]1234567891[TAB REPEAT=8][ENTER REPEAT=1]

1234567891 is the phone number i use.

Banned from Amazon?
Have you read the thread? If you get banned you just make a new account. I don't think they're really looking for cards being used by multiple accounts.

Just. Got my first courtesy prime resale email... No warning yet, but they are in suspecting mode... Kinda scared me a little.. I might have a permanent amazon reselling account for items over 35 and open a new account every 30 days for items under 35.... I have mostly items over 35 and over, but those 35 and under are selling like every other day and very profitable (not comfortable ending them)... Amazon usually ships within 2 days with standard shipping, so I think I'm good with the permanent account.. As you reach 80 or more purchases in a month with prime you will be amazon target.

Hello guys,
I'm trying this method out, I have just begun so I listed only several items for now.
I've tried to read/look for the entire thread but, or no one else has mentioned it or I missed it somewhere in the many posts, but I can't find any info about warranty of the items.

I mean, what if the customer ask for a receipt for future troubles with the item? I'm talking about the warranty: the customer needs it for any product's issue (of course ).
I managed to found several sellers that are doing this similar method on ebay and some of them got some nasty negative feedbacks about A m a z o n package and "no-receipt-received" (I'm not too worry about the package because there are some ways to overcome that problem) but the receipt stuff it's quite alarming.
In fact, if they ask specifically for a receipt we need to download it from A m a z o n and send to them straight away (of course revealing that we are dropshipping and so revealing all the "gift-stuff" trick)?

Someone found a clever way to overcome this?

p.s.
Just to be clear: I'm not talking about a customer that want a refund straight away for a DOA item or similar, I'm talking about someone that wants to keep his/her receipt for possible troubles.

p.p.s.
I'm from Europe so I don't know if in the USA the "warranty thing" it's quite different and doesn't rises up any particular issues for this method. In my country I guess that almost the totality of the people ask specifically for the receipt (I mean if they didn't get one automatically with an online purchase) every time they buy something; probably in the States it's the same (it would be really odd if it weren't) but hey, who knows .

Thanks guys

Will be trying this method again after last time failed. I found it to be over saturated with 10-20 sellers selling the same item with same amazon image and the guy at the top was the guy who made 95% of the sales for that item. Do you try to find items where not a lot of people are selling? Thanks

 

[robibrk]

How you guys provide the tracking number and where can the buyer track his order? As i noticed Amazon ships with in-house logistics and they offering tracking at the amazon account page.

@blackpenny i am at the same bot with you and have no idea how to deal in such situations.

I am as well searcing for amazon UK gift cards, where you buy them?

I asked this question in the past week on of the forums. If you have a look over them you should find it.

You will probably find that consumer protection is a bit more of an issue for EU sellers compared to USA. In the USA I don't think consumers have as much protection so sellers over there may not have this concern.

You should not be giving the customer an Amazon receipt in any circumstances because your are Amazons customer not the eBay buyer. What I would do is tell the eBay customer that they should keep a record of their eBay transaction as this is proof of receipt. If they don't like this then you can just make up a word document that looks professional and includes all the details of the eBay sale.

You could also contact eBay (anonymously) and ask them what their requirements/advice is with regards issuing receipts to buyer. As them if it is enough to insist the buyer uses the ebay transaction detail as a receipt. If you do this can you PM me and let me know what eBay say please.

I noticed that not always will Amazon use their own "Amazon Logistics" service. I have PayPal holds and notice whenever I put in the Amazon tracking number it never affects my funds release date. I'm not going to bother putting in the Amazon numbers any more.

Why can't you just buy the gift cards directly from Amazon?

I am considering setting up a referral site where users can purchase gift cards through my site. Amazon gives a flat 6% for these referrals, I am planning on giving 5% back to the customer and I will keep 1% for facilitating, would buy through me?

Regards.

That was an informative replay. I will think about your idea regarding the invoice. I found some profitable niche and sales are flooding in and need to handle the giftcard issue. Since i am getting the funds to my paypal, i want to use this funds to buy the cards, but can't find a place where they sell UK ones for paypal payment. I will now use my second amazon account (main one) and add one second CC and will buy some gift cards to cover my sales. May i jum to the US market, since the profit will be even better with saving 20%+ on the gift cards.

I just opened an ebay account to start this method. I have already made 2 sales. But my account is limited to only selling 5 pieces a month. That is too low. How can this be increase? Also, I am from outside US and using a VPS to run my accounts from an US IP.

 

[Vapes]

Can you just use the paypal account to buy the items too? or will amazon ban that?

Also how do you keep track of all your listed items? Do you like have a document with links for both the ebay listing and amazon link to buy from?

So I decided to reopened my store.. I had a couple of sales and ended up using amazon standard shipping because Amazon warned me about using prime to resell.. Turns out Amazon standard shipping can be a real nightmare.. I ordered 15 items, and it takes 3 to 6 business days to ship the item.. My customer keeps asking about their tracking number and will they have the item before Christmas? Luckily I only have 8 more items to ship... 6 are preparing for shipping and 2 are not yet shipped... 1 of the "not yet shipped"item ended up being in back ordered.. I ordered that in 12-11-2015, and I can promise you that it was in stock (Amazon even gave me the delivery date estimation which is today 12-18-2015) but the item was never shipped out.. As a matter of fact last night there were 3 in stock, but they never got to ship my item.. I contacted amazon today and they said that the item is back ordered, and we don't know when the item will be available for shipment.. That angered me so badly... My customer waited 7 days already and amazon never even emailed me once that the item is temporarily out of stock.. I believe that they are reserving the items for prime members even after I already purchased it. Basically they are saying Fuck You to the people who are using standard shipping.. In the future, my next supplier will either be Wayfair or Overstock... Or I can still use amazon as my supplier, but I need to create multiple prime accounts to avoid warning. Maybe it's just the holidays but man that was a nightmare.. With prime amazon ships within a day or two.. With standard shipping it's very unpredictable.

Hey OP, one question. I've done this before but completely failed. My paypal didn't let me get the eBay payment right away so I was unable to deliver on my order. Which sucks because I was about to make a $200 profit on a new Galaxy. Would I be able to do this with out buying the items on Amazon myself and use the money the eBay buyer is giving me for the item? I think it was only because my PayPal didn't have to much activity, just payments from surveys and micro job sites.

So, I'm beyond noob and I registered here at blackhat after watching some threads for awhile wanting to try some of the things listed here and this thread caught my eye. Everything is laid out very detailed in your post and seems to be minimal risk involved, you even detailed how to return items if there's a problem. However, I only have one question... For new ebay accounts trying to dropship items with this method do they still hold your paypal funds, even if you select the "immediate payment" option? Wanted to clear this up, because ebay states the funds will be held from what I can see and that would make this a no-go if trying to start from scratch. Also, how would one handle tracking numbers?

 

[jhanleyiii]

Great thread Lewy Thanks so much for it!!!

I am curious do you use any kind of software to alert you of items being out of stock so you can take down your listing of Ebay for that item?

 

[Sniper]

I'm going to chime in here with the QLA notifications. If you change your billing name and address, they don't cancel your orders. CC numbers stay the same. .. so far, at least in my experience. At this moment, I'm dealing with account bans (cancelled orders, not able to log in etc) from abusing the quantity restrictions and I've found that if you use a fake name but legit address from somewhere in the world, it seem to work. However, if you do get quantity restricted, move on. Don't fight amazon on this. You are piggy backing off their shipping system and making a profit and it's best to let it be.

BTW anyone trying to develop a quantity/stock/price checking tool, don't forget that eBay only allows 5000 api calls per day. This is a big deal if you're not an eBay certified software provider.

I am working on my own system and am working on that. You can use the eBay file exchange for higher volume action. it's a little more tedious but allows you to operate on a large scale.

Awesome thank you for that! I only need to modify certain areas of my code to implement this since my qty / price checking tool is probably the highest api consumer.

Currently I'm on ebay germany but I'd like to sell certain products on ebay usa through amazon usa of course. Do I need to register at ebay usa or can I use my ebay de account? Same with Paypal, can I turn my Paypal into an american account? Would suck to pay more fees to paypal because of the extra fees when payments come from abroad.
