How To Start eBay Dropshipping for 2026 (Step-by-Step)

okay I'm going to show you today how you can start Drop Shipping on eBay step by step so by the end of this video you're going to have a fully functional Drop Shipping Store just like this person right here see what they're doing is they have this product listed for sale on eBay it's this cake carrier right and what's really cool is that if you were to purchase this from this person here on eBay all they're going to do is turn around and buy the exact same item for less money from walmart. com and have wal ship it directly to you that way it is completely hands off for them they don't have to store any inventory or actually worry about shipping at all and in fact there's actually software I'm going to show you in a few minutes that can automate all of this now the big question on everyone's mind is isn't the customer going to get angry when this item that they ordered from eBay shows up on their doorstep in a Walmart box or maybe an Amazon box if you're drop shipping from Amazon and we'll talk about how to fix that in a few moments but let's first get set up with this entire system so the first thing you're going to have to do is obviously have an ebay account now if you already great you can use that one but if you don't head on over here to ebay. com come over to the top left where it says register and go ahead and register for an account now if it gives you the option you definitely want to choose what's called a business account is it doesn't cost money to have a business account but it comes with some additional benefits primarily the biggest one is that if you sign up for a business account eBay is more likely to give you higher limits on your account you see every account on eBay has what's called a selling limit it's a number of items that you can list up for sale and sell on ebay. com every single month so the higher the limits are the better now in the past limits used to be a big hindrance for new sellers eBay used to keep the limits very low increasingly for whatever reason they're giving new sellers higher and higher limits so this isn't something that you probably have to worry about but it is just better to sign up for a business account now I won't walk you through this entire process you can pause this video and go ahead and actually go through the registration process just give them all of the information that they're asking for make sure it's accurate because sometimes they do verify it now some of you might be stuck right here you may be saying to yourself why should I be Drop Shipping on eBay after all isn't Amazon the big place that we should be Drop Shipping on to isn't that the biggest e-commerce platform out there and while it is true that Amazon is definitely a lot bigger than eBay Amazon is a notoriously difficult website to sell on they're really strict with all their rules and all their metrics and their shipping time they're not very friendly towards drop shippers at all so it is a difficult website to drop ship on to most of the people that I know end up getting shut down on Amazon for Drop Shipping so especially in the beginning I would definitely avoid it there are other places you can drop ship as well websites like Tik Tock do uh sorry Tik Tock shop I should say uh this is a great place to drop ship but choose one in the beginning you want to be choosing one start with that and then you can Branch into other systems and you're watching this video eBay is a really fantastic place to start very beginner friendly they're very laxed on their rules so you can mess up and it'll be okay they give you some Grace in there so for beginners eBay is a fantastic place to start selling and what I also love about it is that you can automate so much of your Drop Shipping business when you're Drop Shipping onto eBay this is the software I use to automate my Drop Shipping Store it's called autods and what I love about this is that this can not only help you find products but you can add them into your store using the software so you don't actually have to copy everything from Walmart here and paste it into eBay it can do that for you it can also automatically order items for you as orders come in and just helps you with so much now this is the first piece of software I use the second is called Zeke analytics Zeke is actually what I use to find my products because this is just really powerful stuff um it really gives you a ton of data on what products are selling well on eBay now before I show you how I use both autods and Zeke together to find and add products to my Drop Shipping Store uh I do want to let you know that I've put together a guide for you that goes over all of the software that I recommend for Drop Shipping because I know it can be quite confusing I've already mentioned two of them and there are some other software I use as well so if you just want to get that free guide you can grab it at the first link in the description down below you might as well just check it out because it is free so make sure to grab it at the first link below but let me actually show you now I'll walk

you through how I find products and add them to my Drop Shipping Store so the first thing I do is I just log into Zeke right here what's cool about Zeke is that they give you many different ways to find products I'll show you just some of them but I don't even have time in this video to show you all of the different tools that it has but one of the first ones that I love or one of the top is right here on the dashboard when I log in it actually shows me trending eBay products right here so this actually identifies you for you products that other people are successfully Drop Shipping on the eBay you can just see how well it's doing so this cookbook right here I mean who would have known a cookbook right never something I would have thought of but as I can see over the past seven days this is sold three times in total since it's been listed it sold 17 times and that's for a profit of $622 so if I sell this three times a week for $6 profit and I have like 10 of those items in my store you can see how this can quickly add up especially since it's so automated and if I wanted to sell this myself all I had to do is Click right here and that would actually find the product on Amazon for me we also have some other food items in here uh like this one has $359 profit this one is $33. 50 profit here we have some copper coupling fittings this is sold four times in the past week 12 times in total for about a $342 profit and I could actually change this up here I could say hey I actually want to drop ship from Walmart to eBay and they'll give me some Walmart to eBay items that are doing well like this one right here this is a PAW Patrol bumper car sold two times in the past week for a $7 profit and I can click on this and go right over to Walmart and what I love about Zeke is that it doesn't just gives you give you the total sales data like it doesn't just say hey this sold two times in total it tells you when those items sold and that's really important because you want items that are hot and selling right now if this item sold twice but it sold twice a year ago that's not very helpful because that means this item was popular once but isn't popular anymore so I want items that are popular now so that's one of the tools I like one of my favorite tools though is this one right here it's a trending drop shippers section so this actually finds for you other sellers on eBay that are Drop Shipping very well and you can actually look and copy all of the items that they're selling so for instance this seller right here has done over $27,000 in sales in the past month and what I can do is I can click on this button right here that will scan their store and show me all of the items they're selling and their top items so for instance scrolling down here I can see their top item is this pillow protector for Queen and standard size pillows they also sell a lot of condoms apparently and Mason jars they're doing really well selling mason jars and coming over here I can see that over the past 7 days this is sold three times over the past 14 days this is sold five times and over the past 30 days this is sold 24 times there's no other way to see a breakdown like this except on Zeke which I really love there you can see it there three times five times and 24 times so I know that this item is popular right now it's selling this month it's selling this week so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to find this on my supplier's website no matter what supplier you are using you want to try to find something similar it doesn't have to be the exact same thing though that's the key you don't have to be or even want to be selling the exact same product you want to be introducing a new product that's very similar to the one that you know is doing well so I just came over to Walmart I did a quick search and I found these right here a set of mason jars again not the exact same one but similar enough and it's the right count 12 count 16 o so very similar so now I know that these do well so what I want to do is I actually want to list them into my own store on eBay so to do this it's very simple using Auto all I'm going to do is copy down this URL and then I'll head on over to autods and I'll click where it says add single product I'll select the store I want to sell this into because I can use this to sell on eBay on Tik Tock shop on Shopify on Amazon it's an all- inone system which is really cool but for now we're just doing eBay let's not get ahead of ourselves click on next I'll go ahead and paste in that URL and click on the orange button that will then grab all of the details from Walmart and bring them in here so I don't have to do this myself so now over

here I can see that it brought in the title for me that's something I would definitely spend a few minutes changing up this title on Walmart is optimized for Walmart it is not optimized for eBay so I would spend a few minutes just optimizing it and luckily inside of Zeke over here on the left is a title Builder that actually can help you build out titles based on different keywords that are popular and doing well on eBay so that's something I would definitely spend a few moments doing but other than that it's pretty easy because it automatically adds tags it automatically creates a shipping method it automatically brings in the right policy down here is the stock monitoring the price monitoring and the auto ordering so what that's going to do is if the price or stock level changes it goes out of stock on Walmart that will automatically be updated on eBay for you and if someone orders the item from you on eBay autods will order it from Walmart for you and ship it directly to your customer it is autods linked up connected with your eBay account so it's able to see every time you get an order so really powerful stuff fully automated for you allowing you to just set up this business add some products to it and let the software pretty much take care of the rest now like I said if you want to learn more about the software use uh grab that free guide It's the link in the description down below and inside of that will be a link to both Zeke and autod DS that will allow you to get signed up for either a free trial or like a $1 trial so definitely check those out now the final step of this the customer gets it and it's in a Walmart box what happens there well fortunately from my experience customers just do not care they don't care that it came in a Walmart box or an Amazon box I think a lot of people realize that people selling on eBay are resellers and so they're reusing boxes that they either have around or from deliveries that they've received so very very few customers have ever complained about this especially considering the fact that neither Amazon or Ebay includes the price in the Box there's no receipts in box any boxes anymore when you buy stuff online all the receipts are email to you so it's not like the customer is going to see the original price inside of the box so it's really not something to worry about so there you go that's how to set up a fully automated eBay Drop Shipping business for this year for next year so if you enjoyed this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and make sure to subscribe to the channel for more videos like this on how to get started with Drop Shipping and then I'll see you in the next video bye for now
