What You NEED To Know Before eBay Dropshipping in 2026 🧐

I've built multiple successful drop shipping stores over the past seven years and I've helped many beginners do the same exact thing and while I've certainly seen people who have struggled and given up with it I've also seen a lot of others who have persevered and gone on to massive success so I went ahead and I asked some of my most successful Drop Shipping students what they wish they would have known before they started Drop Shipping and based on their feedback I put together a list of the top things that every drop shipper needs to know about before they get started if they actually want to be successful so if you're looking to start a Drop Shipping Store this year then this may end up being the most important video you end up watching over the past several years we've seen only a handful of websites really dominate the e-commerce space I'm talking about websites like Amazon or Ebay or Etsy and even Facebook Marketplace these websites that people are used to shopping on and feel safe shopping on are the ones that really dominate unfortunately this means that Drop Shipping products on your own website has become a lot more difficult you've probably heard about this before something like Shopify Drop Shipping and while I know many people who have made a lot of money with Shopify in the past I've also talked to a lot more people who have failed at Shopify Drop Shipping which really doesn't surprise me not only is it really hard to get customers to actually find your website but it's just as hard to get them to trust it enough to actually buy something from you if you sell on a Marketplace on the other hand you can sell to existing customers that are already here ready to buy some items if you're a beginner you should start by Drop Shipping on a Marketplace like eBay or Facebook Marketplace and honestly if you're brand new all of my top students agree that eBay is the best and easiest place to start which brings

me to the next Point paid ads social media platforms have changed dramatically over the past few years it's so easy now to go onto Facebook or Instagram or Tik Tok and really to get lost for hours watching videos this has really helped these companies grow bigger and bigger which allows them to charge more money for anyone who wants to run ads to their customers unless you have a lot of money to spare it has become very difficult to use paid ads on these websites that actually work and are affordable which is why for us small sellers paid ads on these websites just aren't realistic anymore but that's okay because when you sell in a Marketplace like I talked about before there are already a ton of customers there ready to spend money you don't need to pay for ads as a new drop shipper the easiest way to get sales is to go where the customers already are and to just forget about paid

ads okay but if you're not using paid ads how do you actually get customers to find and buy your products well this really comes down to two important things the first thing is that you need to learn how to find the best products to drop ship onto eBay and after speaking with my students we all agree that the best way to do product research is with this software called Zeke this is designed by eBay drop shippers for eBay drop shippers and helps you find these winning products so what I always do whenever I log in is I first come to the dashboard here and I quickly look at this trending eBay product section because a lot of times they'll show you some winning products right here that you can sell you don't have to do any extra work so I'm able to see that these windshield wipers that are being drop shipped from Walmart onto eBay have sold several times 22 times in total for a $9 profit so I can click on this I can go to the product on Walmart and either sell the same one or something very similar and every time it sells I'm going to make about $9 now that doesn't sound like a lot of money but you have to remember that all you have to do is list this product once and it will sell over and over again this person sold it 22 times all without having to do extra work so you get enough of these products in your store and this really adds up on a month-to-month basis here's another one right here this is sold 10 times for about $845 cents profit so it's always worth it to just look here real quickly when you first log in but I also like to look over here on the left at the trending drop shippers section this is where Zeke actually finds for you other people that are Drop Shipping on the eBay and you can go ahead and look at how well they're doing and actually look at the exact products that they're selling so we see some sellers here like this one has done $60,000 in sales in the past month this one has done 50,000 so this is definitely working Drop Shipping is definitely alive and well for these sellers let's go ahead and actually scan one of their stores so I'll go ahead and scan this seller store and this will look at all the products that they're selling and tell us which ones are doing the best so I see this car dent repair kit has sold 517 times in total so that is definitely a winning product and what I could then do is go over to my supplier's website find the same thing or something similar and I can sell this because I know that this product does well here's another one right here it's like these insoles for boots these have sold 189 times in total so using this software and these techniques you're going to be able to find a lot of these massively winning products that are selling dozens and dozens of times every single month Now product research this is definitely the most important part of Drop Shipping that you need to master if you want to have a successful store that's why I spend so much time on it inside my eBay Drop Shipping program if you want to join it and join my most successful students who have gone through it themselves then make sure to click the first link in the description down below to find out some more information about it and to join if you're

interested of course it's not enough to just have the right products you also need to list them correctly and to optimize them and the consensus among my students is that the best way to do that is with this software right here it's called autods and once you get it set up it is so easy to use so let's say I wanted to list this product right here on the eBay it's this suction dent puller for cars you know we saw before on Zeke that products like this do sell very well all I want to do is copy down the URL from up here and then I'll come over to autods and I'll click up here where it says add product single product and I will paste in that URL now I'll click this orange button that's going to pull in all of the information from E sorry from Amazon and get it ready to be listed on eBay so we can see here that it pulled in the title it chose a category for us it automatically added tags it automatically created a shipping policy based on how long it would take here we see the description that it pulled in made it look really nice we have all the different variations that means let's say this was available in different colors for instance or different sizes all those options would be available in here we could actually list it with all those we also see all the images and the item specifics that are automatically generated so a lot of the heavy lifting is done for us we don't have to manually copy and paste everything from Amazon onto eBay anymore because this is doing it for us so what I first do is I come to the images and I like to make sure that all these images work there's nothing here that I want to delete and I also make sure that the main image is one that I actually like a lot of times I'll end up choosing a different main image like maybe I would select this one or this one instead that way my listing looks different from other people who are listing the same product but in this case I don't really see another great main image maybe I would select this one right here because this is demonstrating how the product works so I think that would actually be a good main image you can see that it changed up here so that's now what my listing will look like on the search results page so I spend just a couple of seconds doing that and then I come to this section right here and I will change up this title I like to optimize this to make it better for eBay fundamentally is a search engine so you can type something in here like dent remover and it's going to show you a whole bunch of different results so what you want to do is you want to get as high up in the search results as possible and the best way to do that is with this optimization you want your title to be full of keywords that people are actually going to be searching for when they're looking for this item there's a very easy way to do this because if you come over to Zeke and you click on the left on title Builder this will give you all the information that you need so I'm going to type in here dent remover and I'll click on search and this will tell you hey when people search for dent remover they also search for these other words as well and so you want to take as many of these words and include them in your title so we can see on the left here are more of the multi-word searches and on the right here are the single words and anytime you click on any of these it will actually add it up here so we see dent remover up here so what I want to do is I want to fill this up as much as possible with these really good keywords that people are actually searching for so we see car body dent I'll include that but I will remove the word Dent because we've already used that puller so let's actually come over here and find the word polar and edit we have the word repair is not in there so I'll click on repair let me zoom out for you I'll put the word tool right all these words are well searched for we can see that over here how many times they're searched for and I want to add as many of these as possible so hail we can include that we can include suction we can include removal and panel ding there we go so there we go we just filled this up and what I'll now do is just rearrange this to make this just a little bit easier to read right okay so that's basically it not too over complicated again only the first few words really have to describe what this is a car dent remover and then I just included the other keywords hail body repair suction puller tool ding removal panel okay once I'm done with that I can click on copy here then coming back over here to autods I'll paste that in and now if I click on Save and import that item will now be live in my eBay store and the best part is because I listed this product with autods if the price fluctuates on eBay if it goes up or down autods will automatically change the price on eBay for me and if the item goes out of stock on Amazon it will automatically put the item out a stock in my eBay store that way I actually make a profit every time I sell the item and I don't accidentally sell an item that's actually out of stock you can even set up autods to automatically order items for you as orders come in on eBay now one of the

most overlooked keys to success when it comes to drop shipping is your mindset look starting an online business is hard there's no getting around that it's going to feel slow sometimes you're going to feel like you're running into a lot of hurdles along the way but if you don't believe in yourself then when you hit those obstacles you're going to give up and unfortunately I see this happen to people all the time so you really need to approach this with everything you've got to believe that you're going to be successful with this or at least that you could be successful with this that way you actually go for it 100% let's look at it another way we know that other people have been successful with Drop Shipping I have shown you their results already now these are all ordinary regular people just like you and I'm sure many of them had a lot of doubts about whether they could do this successfully when they first started but they took action anyway and that's what got them all the results that they've gotten because without action failure is guaranteed so if you want 2024 to be your year then you need to get yourself in the right head space and take Massive Action every single day and that starts with right
