Dropshipping and eBay

One of the most popular was to make money on eBay is to dropship on eBay. Dropshipping is just one of the many ways to make money on eBay.

What is Dropshipping?

A dropshipping company is a company that you would pay a small fee to basically work for you, and give you products to sell on eBay. Having a membership with a dropshipping company will allow you to get products and cheap wholesale prices. You would list the items that you chose on eBay. If and only if the items sell, you take the money that you get from the buyer of the specific item, and turn around and order it at wholesale price through the dropshipping company. You would then keep the difference of what you paid, and what your buyer paid. Whatever you have left over would be your profit. If you want to make money on eBay, this is a great way to start, and you really have nothing to lose except for time, and the small amount of money it will cost for the dropshipping membership fee.

How to get started dropshipping

To start dropshipping on eBay you first of course, need to find a good dropshipping company. There are a lot of different things that you need to think about before choosing a dropshipping company to go through.

How to choose a good dropshipping company?

• Look for a money back guarantee. The only true way to be able to tell if you’re going to like the services you get is to try it out yourself. With a good money back guarantee you can test drive the services, and see how you like it.

• Good Customer support. You want to make sure that you have good customer support that will be available to you if you have any questions. Phone support is important to me. If a dropshipping company does not have phone support, then they are not legitimate enough for me in my opinion.

• Good honest wholesale prices. Make sure that the wholesale prices are cheaper then what you can get from your local retail store. There is no point in trying to make a profit off of items that are not discounted to you.

• Fast Shipping. You need to make sure your customers are happy when you are trying to make money on eBay. If you are going to make money on eBay you need to offer a reasonable shipping service. Your dropshipping company is useless if they take 2 weeks to get an item to your customer.

• Returns. This one seems obvious, but you would be surprised that some companies do not offer a return policy. Make sure your dropshipping company offers fair return policies.

• Worldwide Shipping. This one depends on you. If you want to ship worldwide, obviously you need to make sure that you will be able to dropship to customers in other countries. If just shipping to the United States and Canada is okay with you, then that is fine.

Suggested Dropshipping Companies:

• OneSource — This is without a doubt the best way to go if you are going to dropship on eBay. OneSource is really just a database of thousands of dropshipping companies. So you can match your needs with as many of the different dropshipping companies as you want. And not only that, but there is a ton of wholesalers, liquidators, and small bulk wholesalers. This allows you to have the option to upgrade to buying at cheaper wholesale prices from larger bulk wholesalers. OneSource offers a money back guarantee that will allow you to get a full refund if at anytime you do not want your lifetime membership anymore. They also have great customer support. Another great feature that OneSource has is their market research tools. You can find out what products are the best to sell on eBay, and on the internet. They evaluate the demand, and the competition for specific products that you may want to sell and tell you how good of a chance you will have to be successful within that area. They are also eBay certified, which no other dropshipping company is. You cannot and will not find a dropshipping company this good. I will tell you right now straight up, that the price is $250.00 to join. It is just a one time fee for a lifetime membership, and you will be able to make that back within a week of dropshipping with OneSource.

• Dropshipping Wholesalers — The reason why I like this dropshipping source is because the price is low, and the products to be sold are low. I personally use OneSource, so I do not know much about this company. I have a friend that uses it, and he makes a good living from selling these products. That leads me to believe that they are pretty good. If you do not want to spend as much money I would suggest giving Dropshipping Wholesalers a try.

• Salehoo — Salehoo offers a huge source of wholesalers. You can get products for very good prices, and you can get access to most of the good dropshipping companies through Salehoo. Once again, this one is a cheaper price, but you do not get near the amount of tools, resources, or anything else that you would get with OneSource. I would still give it a try, if you do not like what you see in OneSource. Either way you can make good money dropshipping on eBay.
