How eBay Works With Dropshipping

If you hope to own an eBay business, and make a full time living at it, you can easily make that dream come true - even if you don't have a product of your own to sell.

eBay provides many people who want to quit their corporate nine-to-five jobs with a way to make a good living, without having to put up a lot of start up capital. This is made possible with the help of drop shippers.

When you use a drop shipping company they will store the items in their own warehouse and ship them to your customers whenever your tell them so.

The way it normally works in eBay is that you set up your auctions and when the product is sold the customer address is automatically sent to your dropshipping company so that they can ship the products to the desired address. You don't deal in any way with shipping or handling.

The dropshipping company will label and ship the product without you getting involved. Your customer will have the impression that you mailed the product yourself.

There are many dropshipping comapnies available and prices differ substantially. Usually when you are starting out your will have to pay your dropshipping comapny up front. Later you may negotiate better terms and conditions. However, this depends on the volume over a period of time.

You need to fill orders in a timely manner, so you should pay for the items with a credit card for speedy service. Eventually, you will be able to have the drop shipper fill your orders, and then bill you for them later.

When you set up your eBay auctions, make sure that your reserve price is set higher than the price that the drop shipper will be charging you for the item. The idea, of course, is to earn a profit!

Depending on the item you are selling, a markup of about 10% should be about right, but you should do some research to see if the item is selling for a lower price in another eBay auction, or through other online sources.

By starting an eBay business using the drop shipping method, there is essentially no financial risk involved. The product will be sold before you pay the drop shipper for the item. This is one of the few businesses where you can actually turn a profit before you have expenditures!
