Making Money on eBay with Drop Shipping

ProductSourcing.com is DOBA, but at least the free trial is no risk for eBayers!

Posted by dropshipebayer on October 9, 2008

I came across a new site on Tuesday and was pretty excited.  Their website looked very professional and they were offering a free account.  So, why not?

The site was www.ProductSourcing.com and they were offering access to thousands of drop shipped products.

I know, I know, I learned long ago never to use drop shipping.  But this was a free account, so I thought it was worth at least some investigation.  OOPS!

I got all signed up and started looking around.  Something seemed very familiar.  Was I in the twilight zone?  No, I WAS AT DOBA!  I wasn’t 100% sure, but if it was not DOBA then it was some copycat.

Then, I got the call.  The same call I had months ago.  The call telling me about the wonders of eBay and how eBay and drop shipping are a match made in heaven.  Yes, that call.  It was total deja-vu; and then it all came crashing to reality when the guy on the phone says “have you checked out DOBA?  If not, you should.  That is our main product and [blah, blah, blah] for only $599″.

$599?  I do not remember DOBA being that much.  But I must admit, I had stopped listening.  Once I heard a pause I said “Don’t call again.” and hung up the phone.

I couldn’t believe it.  DOBA had gotten me AGAIN!

So, the good news is if you are really curious about DOBA then you can go to ProductSourcing.com and try them out on a smaller scale for free.  I just would not use your real phone number or you will be harassed.

Take a look around in there and when you are convinced you cannot make a profit, come back here and click my link to DropShipping Sucks.  It is how you can profit on eBay.  Be sure to click my link so I get credit.   :-)

Good luck!

Record eBay Sales on Monday!

Posted by dropshipebayer on July 30, 2008

I am writing this with a bit of unabashed glee!  On Monday, my sales generated me an all-time high in profits.  It’s not close.  Monday blew every previous day of eBay sales out of the water with a one day profit of over $630!!!

I do have to brag a little.

My closest day before Monday was in early June when I had a day which netted me $212.14 exactly.  That was a great day.  But this Monday was even better.

The main difference though was that my previous high eBay sales profit record was set amond many items, over 10, while this Monday only 4 sales were made.  :-)

I was lucky enough, or should I say skilled enough, to find a product that sold for $540 more than what I purchased it for less than a week earlier.

What did I sell you ask?  A “Professional Audio Mixer”.  I am not even sure what it is still.  I know it is used by DJs and recording studios.  I bought it at a government sale which I found through the Better Sources software I have been raving about.

I got it at $120 above the minimum bid of $100, so I paid $220 for it.  But as Chris suggests, I had researched it before I bought it.  Really I researched it while I was buying it.

This was a big purchase for me so I was nervous although confident.  I really did not want to muck things up and lose $200+ on a single item.  Believe it or not, I still do have some stinkers from time to time!

That didn’t happen so today is a celebration!  I am going to take my Wife out for a nice dinner and perhaps catch Step Brothers at the movie theatre.  It looked kinda funny to us and we haven’t seen a comedy lately.  We did catch The Dark Knight and I enjoyed it for the most part, but I am ready to see something a bit more funny and a bit less dark.

Then I will come home and start looking for more products to sell.  More days like Monday and I will quite my real job!

Wish me luck.
