Ask me anything about dropshipping on ebay

Hello people i need urgently your help.

My Amazon accounts are closed immediately when i try to buy things with my bank account or credit card.

But i got like 6 items that are already delayed 8 days and i need to sent them to the buyers ASAP.

What should I do now?

Should I go and buy amazon gift cards and than try to buy?
Or buy a VCC? Do you think that might work?
Its really urgent. Amazon Germany.

Thank you

Hey there BHW-ers!

I've noticed that the level of interest towards the eBay side of BHW has piqued within the last week or so. Some of you are just now getting your feet wet, whereas others are trying to figure out how to turn this thing into a full time xx,xxx/m income.

I've spent A-LOT of time successfully drop shipping on eBay and would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have

Cheers,
Zach

Hello sir. Thank for offering this valuable information. Would you happen to have a tutorial or faq that I may read and educate myself?
 
how much is a typical percentage seller/manufacturer would charge to drop ship? lets say within the US?

% of what? To drop ship something costs the shipper a flat rate per item for handling costs.
 
How does a new account compete with established sellers?
 
Is it allowed to take a listing that you planned on taking down (due to the product being no longer available or whatever) and replace every aspect of it with a new item? If not allowed, is it still worthwhile to pursue with taking precautions?
 
Hi. I am writing again to you because I struggle selling on ebay even with a good account as dropshipper. I have 600+ reviews, account level above standard, everything good on the account details. Listings, over 800 and all of them with good titles and the prices are not so high. More of them are smaller than other dropshippers (I prefer 5-10-15-20$ profit). Also, the description is about the item specifics and a part about my account (return, shipping etc) without any template. In march, I had only 34sales and this month only 8. I tried everything. Dropping prices a bit, using the ebay advertisement with 5% tax, adding over 50 new items in stock.

What more can I do to increase my sales?
THe account is classic, no stealth and other things. How did you increased your sales?

Thank you!
 
Are these 600 items in many different categories? What about the price ranges?
 
I've developed an automated bot which scrapes the information and pictures for an item from Amazon to Ebay. Right now I have to manually enter the category ID when I'm creating the listing on eBay. How would you automate this part so that your bot selects the category ID and completes the listing on eBay without the user's input?
 
I can help you out on that. The category code is in the page source on a listing page. From what I remember it's the category URL at the top of the page. Inspect element (or hover over) the category URL at the top of the page.
 
You can list as many items as your account allowed. Ebay does NOT flag you for spamming if you have too many items. They will remove your listing if it's duplicate (MC018 Your listing has been removed: Duplicate Listings). Same, title, description, picture, price. You can change the price, picture, color, and description for the same item and ebay allow it.
 
You can buy digital products to boost your feedbacks. search on ebay for photos, positive, pictures, recipes, ebooks... You only paying $0.01 for each item. Actually, you really don't have to pay the seller. The seller will loose money if you pay them because of the paypal & ebay fees. Look in your purchase history and mark it as payment sent then leave a 5 stars positive feedback to the sellers. Most big time sellers with 30,000+ feedbacks they have automatic feedback. When you leave a positive feedback they will automatically leave you a feedback. You should buy from different sellers to increase your feedbacks. Multiple Feedbacks from the same seller in a week will NOT increase your feedback. You have to wait until the next Monday on ebay time.

Where do you find items for 1 cent? How ever or whatever I search for, the cheapest that I can find anything is 75 cents. What exactly do you search for to find 1 cent items?

By default, ebay gives you search results in "BEST MATCH". Click on "Sort" Lowest price first

Obviously that's the first thing I'd do! Still nothing less than 78 cents. They have 1 cent items in auctions but not in Buy It Now item search. Auctions are not what I'm looking for if I want to build up my feedback right? SEE ATTACHED IMAGE ebook screen shot.jpg
