DROPSHIPPING

EBay selling can get complicated when it comes to shipping the products. Setting up a shipping account with Fedex USPS or any of the major courier services can make eBay selling a hassle. I had a friend who was selling merchandise on eBay out of her home, but became discouraged because of the many shipping dilemmas that she encountered. Dropshipping makes EBay selling a breeze.

Most wholesalers sell products to merchants in bulk, who in turn mark up their product at their retail stores. The mark up becomes the merchant's profit. This process is similar to eBay selling. Large scale eBay sellers purchase products in bulk from a wholesaler. The seller in turn, sells the product on eBay at a higher cost which gives them a profit margin. This is how retail works in a nutshell, whether it is online or at a traditional "brick and mortar" store. The problem with the wholesale method of eBay selling means that you must find a way to store the bulk products and are responsible for shipping the products everytime an order is placed. This can make eBay selling annoying!

Working with a dropshipper completely simplifies this process. A dropshipper is a wholesaler who is willing to work with individuals (as many wholesale companies only work with merchants who buy in bulk) who would sell you individual products to sell on eBay one at a time. The best part of this type of eBay selling is the fact that most of these wholesale companies do not even require you to pay for the product until you make the sale! Many of the best companies even provide you with photos of your products to use in your posting! Once an order is placed, all you would have to do is send the order request to the wholesaler for the product and the wholesale company handles the complete fufillment process! They pick and pack the merchandise and even handle the shipping process! This is how many of the high earning Power Sellers rake in serious money and make eBay selling their primary source of income.
