eBay Dropshipping Tips

By: Mike Stason

Many people want to have an eBay business. Wouldn't it be nice to make a full time living from home just selling stuff on eBay? The good news is: It can be done - even if you don't have products to sell.

If you ever thought about quitting your 9 to 5 job and work from home eBay is one of the easiest ways to do so. Many people have done this before and some have made a fortune selling products on eBay. Drop shipping companies can help you build a business from home.

Drop shippers send merchandise to the customers of business owners. If you have an eBay business, you are a business owner. This will allow you to offer a wide variety of stock in your eBay store, without having the need to warehouse all of those products!

All you have to do is set up your auction, and sell the product. You then pass the customer's information on to the drop shipping company. The drop shipper does the rest, and they will even use your company information, as well as your company logo if you have provided it to them.

The dropshipping company will label and ship the product without you getting involved. Your customer will have the impression that you mailed the product yourself.

You must establish a relationship with several drop shipping companies in order to become successful. In the beginning, most companies will require you to pay for the items that your customers order before they are shipped.

You need to fill orders in a timely manner, so you should pay for the items with a credit card for speedy service. Eventually, you will be able to have the drop shipper fill your orders, and then bill you for them later.

When you set up your eBay auctions, make sure that your reserve price is set higher than the price that the drop shipper will be charging you for the item. The idea, of course, is to earn a profit!

Depending on the item you are selling, a markup of about 10% should be about right, but you should do some research to see if the item is selling for a lower price in another eBay auction, or through other online sources.

You don't risk anything by selling products from dropshippers. This is because you usually pay the dropshipper after you get paid by your customers. It is the ideal business to start with if you still have a regular day job.
