I bought the e-book. Initially I planned on using my personal, old ebay account but since I'm using that for art listings I'm not going to mix them with random stuff from other shops so I decided to make a new account and test the methods as if everything is brand new. I'll come back with a "review" after a few months but there are a few things that popped up immediatelly as issues, for me at least.
Here are some of my very initial pre-setting up impressions/critiques (These apply only for Walmart, and perhaps other US-based vendors as I have no interest in using Aliexpress for the moment):
The main pdf does not go into detail about dropshipping from Walmart, at least not for the setting up stage. For Walmart (perhaps Amazon too), you'll have to use a VPS or a private US-based proxy or VPN. This is used for creating your account and then purchasing items. If you use non-US one, your account will be disabled.
So if you don't want to start with Aliexpres and want to go for US-shipping with Walmart items, you're going to be a bit loss as to how to set up your account there.
Some instructions are added in separate files but I think that you should include those in the main PDF or at the very least mention them in your FAQs. a VPS may cost me about 5-20$ a month of additional costs before I even list 1 single item, let alone sell. In the second file it is mentioned where to get a VPS and what to buy (20$/m) but further details are not given as to how to actually set up and use the VPS.
There is a guide on how to get gift cards, discounted ones too, but that requires Bitcoin. Which is another set of procedures and new accounts you should make. Still, I think this should have been mentioned somewhere openly as it further complicates the starting process. While I'm not new to most of these terms, I've never had to use a VPS, nor have I ever bought or used Bitcoin. If I was completely new, I'd be even more confused.
For Amazon, you will have to use a Prime account and only ship Prime items, and he points you to a cheaper way to get prime via Student email, however that is additional cost + the site in the PDF where he points you to buy student email accounts is currently not working "Coming soon".
What I expected from people reviewing (including the staff review) is a better-detailed setting up process. OP offered a setup guide for ebay account but that should have been done for Walmart and Amazon. Currently, they don't have separate sections. Furthermore, I think that for Walmart/Amazon, those specifics should have been mentioned in the selling pitch as things to expect, as I didn't know I would have to use a VPS or anything else, other than a simple sign up process.
If I've missed clear and open clarifications to any of my objections, I apologize. I did read the entire thread before making a purchase, but I may have missed something. I am not writing this with the goal of bashing the service/method, I just think some easy improvements can be made in order to fit the sales pitch of beginner-friendly system, "plug and play", "brainless" and so on.
Oh, and I did not get any excel sheets for store management.
Summary:
Things that can be improved or added
With all that said, I'm still looking forward to fully testing this. It is by far the easiest to follow method from those that I've read so far. And keep in mind - this is just initial first impressions. I'm still at the warming up stage of my ebay account and I haven't read the entire book yet, but given how some people reviewed it without even testing the method I decided to give my constructive criticism.

Summary:
Things that can be improved or added
- Unite updated files in a single PDF, remake the PDF every time you release an update - easier to have everything that is relevant in one place
- Detailed step by step process of setting up Walmart and Amazon accounts to drop ship from
- Better transparency regarding the expenses and steps you'll have to take if you want to dropship from Walmart/Amazon (before you purchase the ebook)
- Better instructions and steps to take when signing up and setting up you Walmart/Amazon accounts (including setting up of VPS/proxy/vpn)
- Transparency on using affiliate links for mentioned tools (not a major issue, just nice)
- Add Private Telegram/Facebook/Discord community group for the people who purchased so we can talk and exchange experiences and information in real time.
- Give instructions on whether or not you should register as a business on eBay or personal account
- Mention/explain if you need to make/upgrade PP to business account - should you do it, if so - when, why, etc.
- The bot is nice, however they have some issues at the moment with generating sufficient amount of listings, especially for non-Aliexpres items.
- Better instructions/clarifications on shipping an item from different location than what you set up your profile as. Currently, I cannot set an item that is based in the US - ebay corrects it to my location from my IP. I guess VPS is required to use for ebay as well?
With all that said, I'm still looking forward to fully testing this. It is by far the easiest to follow method from those that I've read so far. And keep in mind - this is just initial first impressions. I'm still at the warming up stage of my ebay account and I haven't read the entire book yet, but given how some people reviewed it without even testing the method I decided to give my constructive criticism.

Regarding Walmart:
About your conceren about Walmart account Disabled:
I am explaing what you should do in order to operate as a dropshipper with Walmart with a forgien IP address.
I am Not sure if my potential client should be worried about it because the solution I am offering in the book is still working according to this date. (10.13.2020)
I understand to you felt a little bit lossy with the process of operating Walmart account as a dropshipper. Please, remove any concern if you have any at all.
If you have 15 Minutes today, I will gladly connect to your machine via Remote Desktop and show u step by step how it should be done.
VPS Costs
A good and fast VPS will cost you around $15/20 a month. However, I got you covered! AWS is giving away 1year FREE VPS. It is a bit slow VPS however,
you can still operate an account from there. If you need a guidance about how to get yourself 1 year free VPS for dropshipping, please contact me and I will
guide you via Chat or Teamviewer.
Giftcards
I know that it's a little bit complex to get those discoutned Giftcards using payment methods that you don't have experience with.
Please, don't feel that somehow you were ''cheated'' because It wasn't mentioned. I don't have the privilage to edit the Sales thread on BHW whenever I want.
However, In the next few days I will pay the $30 fee and ask the Mod to edit the Thread and add it to the FAQ.
This part of the guide was an update and this is the reason why It's not integrated with the Original PDF and added as a text file. I will work on something out
to make sure that your user expereince will be much more better during the next Update. is that okay for you?
Regarding the student email for Amazon prime account: You can feel free to contact me here in BHW and I will give you Edu account, for FREE.
The excel sheet is attached to the PDF. Scroll the page down and you will see it. Feel free to reach out to me if you still getting problems get into it.
Keep in mind that I noted all of your requestes. Thank you very much for a detailed review. It is deffently help us improve our product!
If you need anything else feel free to reach out to me via Telegram!
Best regards

Thanks for answering! For the VPS I found out about AWS by reading some of your comments in the subreddit, after reading the ebook. As with most of my criticism, the "problem" is that this info wasn't in the ebook but from an outside source that you may or may not stumble upon. And then of course, there is the setting up of the VPS itself that can be a little hard for new people. But I understand that this is beyond the scope of the ebook content, but it would be a great benefit to people to have a simple, step by step process (either AWS or vultr). I already signed up for AWS and made a Walmart account, even though it's rather slow I plan on testing it out this way, so no need to take from your time with private tutoring

That works great. For me, I already know but for new people, it would be better, I think, if they can follow the process chronologically in one file, instead of always keeping in mind those 1-2 updated changes (and in the future there may be further updates). So updating the PDF whenever you add new content would make things easier for everyone who buys this in the future.
One big thing about that is that in the ebook you say to warm up the account and wait a few days (was it a week?) but in the update you clarify that it is now best to wait 14 days before adding any dropshipping items in your store. That is important information that should be in the pdf, not in a separate .txt file.
You say not to release the escrow until I verify the giftcard is working. I've never used Walmart before. How do I do that - I make the order and it goes through or do I simply add the code to my account and the value of the card will be in my account Wallet?
I appreciate your offer but as I said earlier, I didn't write this to bash or to get something for free as a compensation. I wrote it so that you can improve the product, if you agree with my criticisms that is. And you're free to not do so, by the looks of it I am perhaps the only one who raised any such concerns, at least publicly. So maybe I'm an outlier. You decide if it is worth your time, but I feel that it would be - answer any potential problems and questions, this way people won't ask you on Telegram and you won't have to spend time with each person answering the same thing.
Upon further updates and revisions, it would be great if you touch upon the Business ebay and Business PP accounts. Should you go for them, when, why, how.
While my post may seem negative as I am not focusing on the positives, I would like to point out that the guide is good and I feel like it is by far the most concise and fluff-free startup guide out there. Just a few minor things missing that would make the newbie journey a bit easier. Once I am over the few weeks of account warmup I plan on even starting a Journey thread here and see what happens
