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

Part 3 (Amazon Acct.): You can go two directions with this step. Many sellers elect to only list items that are above the $35 free shipping limit. With this step all you need is your average Amazon account. Although, you may choose to use an Amazon Prime account. If you choose to use an Amazon Prime account, you will ALWAYS end up losing your Prime benefits at some point for reselling activity. I advise that you use a different account if you have a personal one. BUT WAIT, PRIME ACCOUNTS COST MONEY RIGHT?! That doesn't matter. This is quite simple to deal with even though many of the people I see on BHW don't seem to see how easy this is. Not only that, but having a Prime account will help your sales DRAMATICALLY. (See step 6.5 to see why)

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.

SEE, EASY!


Hold on, don't you have to keep making new Amazon account's everytime you want to try prime for free for 30 days? I don't believe you can keep canceling before every 30 days and try it again for free on the same account can you? Atleast that's my understanding.
 
i want to start but, i am from nepal.. should i create ebay acc with US ip?? or simply use my own ip?
 
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.



I got my first warning email a few weeks ago so I made a new account, and this one has just been suspended. I'm making like 25 sales a day so maybe I should just make a new account every two weeks to preempt this.

Why don't you create a few accounts off the bat, then just shuffle orders through the different accounts. They might last longer that way.

Was that email due to using prime next day delivery, prime standard or just regular shipping and due to high purchase volume?

Prime 2-day and overnight ($3.99 option).,

I'm going to make a new account every 2 weeks I think. That account had 400+ orders on it.

Unfortunately, the op is no longer active in this thread. Which is too bad. Maybe somebody else can answer this question.

You can use a standard Amazon account and list items above $35 and free shipping without using a prime account.

The problem with that method is that you won't get express shipping, and this WILL effect your sales.

So, the only solution which isn't really a solution at all, is to keep making a new Amazon account every month and sign up for a free trial of prime and the cancel before the 30 days are up.

To me, that's not a very viable solution. Who wants to keep creating new accounts every month? Especially when you start making alot of sales. I know I sure wouldnt.

Any ideas?

Have to be careful with the ebay fees and paypal transaction+withdrawal charges. Make sure your profit margin will cover all these. No point getting all the troubles only to earn $0.20 unless of course you are after feedbacks from buyer.

Lol, that is good advice for complete noobs. It's the first thing that they should discover, if they didn't see that as the first task to do in this venture that's too bad for them. They don't have the head for it lmao.
 
Creating new accounts is great and all, but if AZ decides to flag your credit card, then any account you make won't pass their CIS / QLA process, and nothing will get shipped. My experience has shown to set up an entropay account, get your account and CC verified. Entropay will cost you 4.95% to deposit so that cuts into margins. But once you have that done, if AZ flags your CC, just top up your entropay account with enough money (limit is 20k USD) within the time frame it takes to get a new CC, and report your card lost. This way it keeps your business rolling and you don't penalize your listings with removing stock, or getting neg's or slow shipping DSR's.

We're you using the prime 30 day free trial?

Yes I make a new account with Amazon Prime 30 day trial. Don't forget to cancel them!

I use LastPass to manage all my logins and stuff. It's important to keep the info for your old accounts for returns and stuff.
 
How exactly do you get your items noticed?
I have followed all your recommendations with titles and pictures, etc.
 
Hey, had a question don't know if anyone could help. So how do you guys go about finding great items that sell on eBay? I mean do you guys just post a bunch of different items to test out until you've got a few good reliable sellers or what? I've been having trouble with this with my 20 listing selling limit and with the fact that there's so many items out there. Thanks!
 
When you guys make new prime accounts.. Do you delete the old accounts and let it be? I have a couple of old ones that's Still active..

I don't think there is any value in deleting the old accounts. Some guy on here said it's good to keep the old ones open for a while because you might need to make a return and/or get invoices etc..

Just Quoting you because you seem to know alot in this area and are active.
How exactly do you get your products noticed on Ebay?
I am listing my products as the cheapest out of everyone (about $0.10 profit per sell, doing this to gain reps) and making the title with as many keywords as possible.

I've done this for about 5 days and nothing, my items don't even get any views. Am I doing something wrong? Do you have any tips for me?
My Ebay account is also pretty old (can list 500 items) and I've listed around 20 items.

Thank you!
