This is getting ridiculous. But there is some good news!

Ok, this is getting crazy.  I have now searched around Salehoo for a few hours and contacted many of the wholesalers and visited their websites.  There is really no obvious product to sell that will turn a profit on eBay.  Yuck!  I do like what Salehoo offers much better than DOBA though.  Also, the DOBA guys tried to pressure me into stuff on the phone and I was not comfortable with that at all.

As I mentioned I also bought the Drop Shipping Sucks guide which I have now read the first several pages of and I must say.  I am excited again!

This has some good and really different information.  I am not sure if I will be able to profit on eBay yet but it does look that way!  I must admit, the guide was nothing like what I thought it would be.  I thought it was going to be about wholesalers that sell on consignment or something, maybe getting credit with wholesalers so you didn’t have to pay for the products first.  It is not.

I will let you know how it works tomorrow if I can or cannot find some products that will make money on eBay.  I am hoping to turn my -$166 into +$166 over the next week.  Wish me luck!

Day 1: Already Trouble in eBay Paradise

Well, with excitement and motivation I started this blog and I was going to take over the ebay world using the simple but effective concept of drop shipping.  Opps!

So far and not so good.  I have been looking through the DOBA catalogs now for some time and cannot find anything that is selling for more on eBay than it is through them.  Although it is too early to give up I must admit that the excitement of yesterday has melted into the apprehension of today.  I am starting to rethink my plan.

I have already started to look for other options.  One would be to use DOBA and create my own website, the other is to look for other drop shippers.  Though a google search led me to a site called Drop Shipping Sucks which is trying to sell me some guide but the information they post about drop shipping does seem to make sense.  If that is the case then drop shipping makes no sense.  ARGH!

Well, I am not giving up on drop shipping yet!  Maybe in an hour though.  I am becoming impatient with the whole thing.  Stupid me, I thought this was going to be a cake walk.

It also appears that DOBA has some bad press on the Ripoff Report.  I hope they don’t try to charge me even if I cancel within my trial period.  But so far, other than not finding any products I can profit with, I have had no problems.
