Hi,I want to start selling ipads/iphones on ebay,I have a 7 almost years old paypal and ebay account all positive feedback,But I do not have the money to start so,Can I buy an ipad for example and immiediatly put it for sale and use that money to pay for it? And keep profit?,Sort of like dropshipping?
 
I would only do this if you are 100% sure you can get it in time. If they see a return address to somewhere popular (or someone other than you), they may get pissed and it can come back to bite you in the ass.
 
If you're willing to pay interest, I'd take out a loan. It's a lot safer.
 
If you're confident in your plan then I would just get some capital together by taking out a credit card on one of those long term 0% deals (Barclays and MBNA do 22+ months) and then take advantage of the recently introduced feature both of those cards offer which is to balance transfer directly to a current account (i.e. yours) instead of another credit card. Hey presto, you have your working capital!
 
Forgot to say...

If you use the entry method provided by money saving expert site then you'll get a better term for the 0 percent.
 
Not a good idea, work in any gas station, buy it then sell it.

you might have profit or lost but thats business
 
I am doing the dropship method selling on ebay and i can say it works.You list an item , sell it then buy it from your source and ship it directly to your customer you dont have to get it shipped first to your place , plus you save on shipping and customs fees.But the thing with iphones and all other popular brands is that when you list something of that high risk on ebay , you risk your account as ebay can take down your auction more easily than if you were selling something less risky.
 
Can someone please exlpain what a dropship method is?

Dropshipping is when you sell something while you dont own it actually so for example you make a listing on ebay , it sells then you get payed and go to your source , or a website for instance dhgate and buy it from there and have it shipped to customers address.
