Making Money on eBay with Drop Shipping

Guess what!? I am still going to sell on eBay this Christmas!

Posted by dropshipebayer on November 26, 2011

I haven’t visited this old blog in about a year now.  I have been busy with my own website and still pushing some eBay sales.  However as things have been up-and-down on the website I have decided to take extra advantage of the Christmas season and am aiming to make an extra $7,000 – $9,000 on eBay during this time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I am very excited and wanted to let you know it is not too late for you!  Though I would say it is a bit to late to do some of the easy importing methods taught in the drop shipping sucks guide (use my affiliate link please!) to sell small electronic items (ebook readers, mp3 players, cell phones, etc) you can still use the guide to find some amazing ways to profit.

I am focusing on seasonal items and so, those of you who have read the drop shipping sucks guide know, I actually started on it last year.

Hopefully I will find the time, desire, and energy to update you here on how I do.  But until then – MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

eBay Dropshipping Poll – Surprise!

Posted by dropshipebayer on March 4, 2009

Well, I have been running my “Have You Made Money on eBay Using Drop Shipping” poll for a few weeks now and I am both surprised and also not surprised.

I am surprised that 6 people have said YES that they have made money on eBay using a dropshipper.  I am not surprised that more than 2x that amount, 14 people, have said NO that they have not made money using a dropshipper to supply their eBay auctions.

But I am curious.  I want some people who answered yes or who answer yes to submit a comment and let us know how you did it.  What product you sold, what drop shipper you used.  You don’t have to tell everything because nobody wants others stealing their sources.

I am very interested.  Drop shipping did not work at all for me with DOBA or anyone else.  I now subscribe to Drop Shipping Sucks (please use my link).

So, if you are an ebay seller who has successfully used drop shipping please comment and let us know!  Thanks!

Will eBay BAN Drop Shipping?

Posted by dropshipebayer on February 13, 2009

You know I am starting to wonder if eBay will soon put a ban on drop shipping.  It seems that now many buyers are having trouble with drop shipped goods not arriving or not arriving on time.

I am not a fan of drop shipping (buy Dropshipping Sucks through my link!) for my ebay sales, but I do not think eBay should ban it.  I think that all sellers who list an item with drop shipping as the source should have to list the “Item Location” as the actual location and there should be a little “DS” next to it to indicate that this item will be drop shipped.  Then, people know what they are getting into.

Quick Salehoo Update and Drop Shipping Sucks

Posted by dropshipebayer on December 7, 2007

Well, I do like Salehoo, there are some really nice people there.  I am not sure yet about the profit potential because after my bad experience with the products at DOBA I am not sure I am ready to take any leaps of faith.

I have also just ordered the Drop Shipping Sucks guide but it has not arrived yet although the site did say “instantly” so I am wondering if it is not some kind of a scam.  It has only been under 10 minutes so maybe I am just a little impatient.

So far, $166 invested in wholesale/dropship programs and eBay fees.  It is actually more, but I have made some back, well I should say lost less.  So my total loss so far is $166.  If I get to the $400 mark I am going to quit.

I hate setting a negative goal for myself but at this point it is necessary.  I don’t want to waste too much time as you can tell by the rapidness of these posts and my changing and finding new programs.  But I cannot afford to waste too much money either.

Check back shortly for my Drop Shipping Sucks review.

Day 2: Time to Move on to Another Source

Posted by dropshipebayer on December 7, 2007

Well, I have moved on to another source that looks promising, Salehoo.  And so far, so good.

Salehoo does have some nice forums that have already been helpful but I think the search is a little weak.  I am finding many of the same drop shippers that were in DOBA.  However, they also offer links to some wholesalers who have some decent prices but still nothing that seems like it will be a big success on eBay.  So I am more optimistic but still a tad frustrated.

I am also going to try that drop shipping guide since it is only $35 but I am not quite sure what it is so I will let you know in a further post.

Wish me luck.
