How To Start eBay Dropshipping in 2026 (Easy Guide)

we just about 2 months ago until Black Friday now is the perfect time to start an online business and if you don't have a lot of money to get started then you'll really want to pay attention to what I'm going to show you in this video because today the easy way to start an eBay Drop Shipping Store right now so first let me show you

what eBay Drop Shipping is by showing you an example of how it works so I'm here on ebay. com and I found this couch for sale you can see what it looks like right here and it's selling here for a little over $200 now what's very unique about this is that this exact same item is being sold on Walmart for less money so if I were to buy this item on eBay all the seller is going to do is they're going to go over to Walmart they're going to buy the item directly there and then they're going to ship it to me instead of shipping it to themselves first that is what Drop Shipping is and you see with this business model you don't have to hold or store any inventory yourself you don't even need to buy the inventory up front it's all completely hands off for you all you have to do is copy everything from Walmart here paste it over here into eBay and then buy the item once someone buys it from you and have it Shi directly to the customer now to get started with this we are going to head over to ebay. com and we're going to click on the top left here where it says register now on this page is where you can actually set up an account you'll see that there is an option to set up a personal account or a business account if you have that option you should really go with a business account it gives you a few benefits over a personal primarily there's a greater chance that you're going to have higher limits on that account you see every single account on eBay has what's called a selling limit that's basically a limit

on how many items you can list and sell every single month so if you already have an ebay account you should use the one you already have because as time goes on your limits get higher and higher now the good news is that over the past year or so eBay has really been giving higher limits to newer accounts so this is less of a concern than it's been in the past so even if you're a brand new seller you're still going to

have a high enough limit to be able to make a good amount of money on eBay but it does help to start with a business account if you have that option now this is a good time to talk about why of all places we are selling on eBay after all I think a lot of people are thinking about Amazon when they're thinking about making money online maybe starting their own Shopify store so why are we looking at this seemingly old website known as eBay well the truth is even though eBay has been around for a really long time it's still alive and well and it's a really fantastic place for beginners to get started selling products online and one big reason for that is just because they're so beginner friendly they make it very easy to set up an account to start listing products and they're not as strict with their rules as other marketplaces like Amazon perhaps more importantly one of the big benefits of selling on eBay and doing Drop Shipping on eBay is that we can make the entire system pretty much automated so to help us with that I use this software right

here it's called autods now Auto s allows me to quickly add products onto eBay that I'm going to drop ship and it does a lot more as well to help automate my business for me so before we get into that though we first have to have some products to actually sell so for that I

use a second software this is a software I use to actually find products it's called Zeke analytics now I know this is a lot of information for you so what I've done is I've actually put together a guide for you that goes over all of the software that I recommend for eBay Drop Shipping you can grab that software at the first link in the description down below just go there sign up and I'll email you a copy of it so that you don't have to keep too many notes as we move through that and inside of that guide is going to be a link to this software as well as a link to autod DS with deals so if you sign up through those links you'll be able to get a $1 or perhaps even a free trial of the software all right let me actually show you how this works now so like I said we use this software to actually find products to drop ship so what I love about this is right when I log in right here on the dashboard of Zeke analytics they actually show me some winning products right here so I don't even have to dig around myself so in particular what I'm looking for right here are products that I can drop ship onto eBay from Amazon and right away they show me hey there's this product right here it's some sort of glaze I don't even know what this is but what it has for me is that it's sold six times in the past week and every time the item sold the seller made about $6. 90 in profit so if this sold six times 6 * 7 whatever that is that's how much profit they made from this single product and if they have 100 products in their store like this you can see how that can quickly add up here's another product right here this one is sold five times in the past week for about a $5 profit and what's really cool is I can click this button right here and that would then take me over to Amazon where I can source that product from myself and you see there's just a whole bunch of other products right here that they give you making it really easy to find winning products now that's just one of the tools available on Zeke there's actually a lot of different product research tools another one that I really love is this one on the left that actually shows you what people are mostly looking for on eBay right now so right now people are looking for moving boxes they're looking for electric fly bug zappers they're looking for heated blankets these are really popular and trending niches on eBay and I often get asked this question should I sell in one Niche should I only sell for instance moving boxes but that's not the way it works on eBay with eBay you should sell lots of products from lots of different niches so you can really grab products from all of these different categories so for instance if we open up electric fly bug zapper just by clicking on it that will actually scan through that category and show us which items in that category are the most popular so scrolling down here we can see those we see that this one is doing quite well this one's doing really well in fact these have each sold hundreds of times in the past month and then what I can do is I can head over to Amazon and actually find these ones myself to sell in my own store so here's another example right here I did a scan in this case I actually scanned a sell's store so over here on Zeke you can see another tool I love is the trending drop shippers section and what this does is this shows you people that are Drop Shipping on eBay and being very successful with it and what you can do is you can actually look at the products they're selling and that's what I did right here I'm looking at this sellers products I'm seeing all the things they're selling and what I noticed is that they sold in the past month This Barn Door setup they sold it four times in the past month 11 times in total and they're selling it for about $67 now the really cool thing is I went over to Amazon and I found this exact same product for about $27 $28 right here so this is a product that I'm now

going to list into my own eBay Drop Shipping Store because I see on Zeke that this one is doing well and has quite a bit of a markup on it which means I'm going to make good money on it so this is where autods comes in now that I found a product I want to sell autod DS makes it so easy from this point forward all I have to do is copy down the URL for this product copy come over here to autods I'll click on add a single product I'll go ahead and paste that in and click this orange button and what this has now done is this has grabbed all of the information from Amazon and brought it over here so I can quickly change it to make it exactly the way that I want so we have the title right here I would go ahead and change this up see this title is optimized for Amazon I want to optimize it for eBay so I would actually change this up fill it with keywords that are actually ones that are searched for on eBay so it spent a few minutes doing that but after that most of the work is pretty much taken care of for me it automatically adds tags selects right shipping method it will automatically turn on price monitoring stock monitoring and auto ordering so what that means is if I list this product with autods and the price of this goes up well then autods will increase the price on my eBay store if this item goes out of stock that will be reflected in my eBay store as well and once I get an order in autods will actually order the item for me and have it shipped directly to my customer so you see this is fully automated from this point forward moving on we could also see that it pulls in the description for you images so it really does all of the work for you all you have to do is maybe change up the title and then click on Save and import and that will then be live in your eBay store ready for someone to buy it from you so there you
