Dropshippers for eBay
When searching for dropshippers for ebay, you have a lot of choices to
consider and a lot of options to choose from. There is no shortage of
dropshippers on the web, although the majority of them are of low
quality and do not offer a good product selection. Drop shipping is a
great way to make money online with a very small investment, but you
simply can't just sign up for the first dropshipper you find and expect
to make money. All the major dropshippers you find on the first pages
of the search engine are completely saturated at this point. They have
thousands of retailers selling their products all the over the web and
eBay. The minute you sign up for one of these programs, you'll see that
the same products are selling all over eBay for less than your
"wholesale" cost. It's a common story.
Drop shipping has gotten a bad rep as of recently because of this
situation. Everyone wants the easy solution. They go on Google, search
for drop shipping suppliers, and sign up for some monthly service. They
claim to offer all the latest name brand products at "rock bottom
wholesale prices". Soon after, you'll discover that this is not true.
In reality, no real wholesale company will charge you monthly fees, or
any fees for that matter, to access their products. What you have here
is a middleman. They mark up the pricing and charge money to access
inventory. They make money by getting in between you and the real
dropshipper. What's worse is that many of them are very popular and
have thousands of merchants pushing their products. This means a ton of
competition for it's users.
The other propblem with finding dropshippers for eBay is the dreaded
out of stock issue. When using a popular dropshipper, you'll find that
many products, especially the popular ones, go out of stock often and
without notice. If you sell a product on eBay and then later find out
that the product is out of stock, you're in trouble. You'll get
negative feedback from the buyer and you could be banned from selling
on eBay for good. This happens all the time and is one of the biggest
issues with drop shipping on eBay. You simply can't get away with drop
shipping on eBay with most of the popular dropshippers anymore.
The best dropshippers for eBay are smaller niche sources that can give
you better pricing and more control over the inventory. Don't use the
same source as everyone else. Be creative and look for niche products
that aren't already saturated so you can stand out. You won't always be
able to have the the lowest price, so be sure to have a flashy and
descriptive listing at all times. Selling the same generic goods as
everyone else is going to lose you money. In general, I am not a fan of
eBay in either case because of the high fees they charge and the major
competition. You may be better off finding alternate ways to sell your
products in my experience. Always take the listing and closing fees
into account when calculating your profit margins.
