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

Used amazon prime for a week , ebay sales were good I was getting good money , and now my amazon account is suspended ...
After ONLY ONE week of dropshipping with Prime , so I suppose there is something hidden , that other ebay-amazon dropshippers use ....
I am sure just registering new amazon prime account wouldnt work so good as it sounds ... because when I contacted amazon , why my account is suspended , they answered me that it is my 3-rd account , but I only have One account ...

That's weird.... I have never been banned from Amazon using this method. You must be doing something else to get yourself in trouble.

What do you mean? Have you ever used Amazon before? They don't have accounts. You pay with credit card. Technically you need a small amount of initial investment to pay for items until you can receive the money from your Paypal that came from eBay.

Very nice thread, reading it in my free time.
It motivated me to take action. Made my first sale today.
Everything would be fine, but i've got 25% fee. :O
[TABLE="class: tableNoBorder, width: 100%, align: center"]
[TR="bgcolor: #fffacd"]
[TD="class: small, align: right"]$1.49 USD[/TD]
[TD="class: small, align: right"]-$0.37 USD[/TD]
[TD="class: small, align: right"]$1.12 USD[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Why? I've sold service. I'm selling using Buy it now. No additional upgrades.
Should be 10% from ebay and 3.9% from paypal.

Yes it should only be those amounts... Unless something changed for newer sellers I don't know about.

so annoying, i'm starting to hate this system, and i even don't know whom i've to blame :D Made 2nd sale. Again -25%.
Used ebay calc, showed 10%. So i think it's because of my paypal account. I have unverified one :rolleyes:
And now because of that i'm afraid to contact ebay, cause as i understood i can't sell anything without verification & this listing was added by glitch and i can't add more, it asks for credit card.
But still, i don't know how it can add 15%.

Thank you so much OP. I have set this up and have made one sale, still figuring out what makes the most money.

I've been putting text on my images that says "Free 2-Day Shipping" and using the title for keywords and what not. Do you find that having "Free 2-Day Shipping" in the title is more effective than having it on the image itself?

Thanks again.

Also, protip... Sign up for a rewards credit card to get some money back. I signed up for the Amazon Prime one which gives 5% back on Amazon (and only works on Amazon) but am not sure if it will work across multiple accounts. If it doesn't, I'll get a another high rewards card to buy Amazon gift cards from giftcertificates.com through a cash-back rewards site like Ebates, Fatwallet, or UPromise (This is a tip from Dropship Domination btw). Alternatively, some business cards will give you 5% back at office supply stores, which you can go to and buy Amazon Gift Cards.

You could definitely do that with credit cards. I have heard of many people doing it, I just haven't taken the time myself. Also, I seemed to notice that items sell better with the image saying "Free 2-Day Shipping" compared to in the title.
 
Thank you so much Lewy2k!!!!
You have given me so much hope with this!

I am wondering though.. do you accept all types of payments ? I noticed some sellers only accept paypal? Do you only accept paypal with this method?

Also, what do you choose in the shipping options?

Do you use 'fast n free' shipping option?


Thank you for all your help!! And everyone else who added great tips!

So this gift card thing is a little outdated....

GC.Com no longer sells Amazon Gift Cards. However, you can use Upromise.com for 5% (and a Upromise Credit Card for another 5%) to buy a GameStop gift card which has been reported to be fine to buy other gift cards (Including Amazon) in a Gamestop retail location.

Here's some more info
Google LifeHacker how-to-buy-gift-cards-for-less

Also.... Everyone make sure you use AmazonSmile! You might as well have Amazon donate some money while you're making some!!!!!!
 
I got my listing removed by using the photos in amazon! ebay said that I used the copyright pictures without permission!
How do you handle the this issue? Do you take your photo yourself?
 
^That's pretty peculiar. It seems like a lot of the new people trying to do this technique are getting the hammer from either eBay or Amazon. However, after some lurking, I've noticed many big eBay sellers doing this technique and ripping the EXACT photos and product description from Amazon. And they're definitely selling those products!

The skeptic in me wants to think that some of the veterans of Amazon-to-eBay arbitrage are reporting us newcomers to lessen the competition.

Regardless, I still want to give this technique an honest chance when I get done with school.
 
Perhaps try to edit the photo's values slightly. Slight contrast and brightness changes might throw any automated system they may have for a loop if it's just looking for an exact match.
 
Yes, I wonder if it's the big sellers or a bot. What do you guys think about Nonozama ?

Change the size or add something new to the photo. You can also search google for pictures of the same product
