Does anyone sell on Ebay or Amazon using Drop Shipping? If so can you give any advice?

Question

I found out about Drop Shipping at an Internet conference I went to the other night. The idea seems simple but is it too good to be true?

Answer 1

Drop shipping sounds like a great deal but your problem will be finding a real drop ship source. 99% of the ones you find in a search will be regular retailers who mark-up your costs.

Beware of companies who want a "set -up" fee, or activation fee, or some other up-front payment for your business. Ask them for a current catalog and find out how much they actually carry on their shelves.

Turn this around and look at it from the company's point of view. If they are real wholesalers, why would they be willing to spend their time on small orders from you? They expect to move product in pallet loads at minimum and price accordingly. The only reason they'll want your business is if you can guarantee them a certain level of business every month.

Drop shipping sounds great but you'll find it awkward to get started unless you already do a lot of business with a manufacturer.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Drop shipping can be a real pain. For example, you sell a collectible doll to customer x. The money goes straight into your account & you call your order in. Drop shipper tells you that that item is back ordered for 3 weeks. Now you have to tell customer. They ask why you're advertising it then & ask for money back. Sometimes drop shipping can make you some good money, but there's snags to it. Anything will have problems to it, but always be careful when you have to rely heavily on someone else's integrity.
And yes, I sell on ebay & have my own store, but I don't drop ship. I only sell what I have in my possesion.

serps need to be able to observe internal links. for making that happen, usage tags, text back links, image links, and also css menus. engines have difficulty with javascript menus, pop-up glass windows, drop-down menus, together with flash navigation.
