All The Best eBay Dropshipping Software for 2020

in this video I'm going to show you all the software that I used to run my ebay drop shipping business and how the software works what's up Paul here from dropshipping Titans comm you know I've been making youtube videos about eBay dropshipping for over two years now and in that time the software that I use to run my business has definitely changed and evolved so it's pretty understandable when someone watches one of my more recent videos and says wait you're using this software I thought you were using that other software so I kind of wanted to put into one video all the software that I'm using now as of almost November 2019 now of course this might change again in the future but I feel pretty solid about the software that I'm using pretty comfortable with it and I don't anticipate this changing for a while but hey you never know but at least as of November 2009 teen this is all the software that I use for my ebay drop shipping business and I do want to let you guys know that links to all these software will be underneath this video those will be affiliate links but this is actually the software that I use to run my business otherwise I wouldn't be talking about it so the process of drop

shipping always starts with finding the right products to sell and to do my product research I use a tool called Zeke analytics the Zeke analytics is pretty powerful there's a lot of different things that it does and I'll show you kind of what I've been using it for different ways so here it is right here and on the left there is different types of ways that you can do research here a good place to start is in category research and if you click there or start sorry in product research rather and I'm going to type in computer desks and you can filter this out by shipping location I always do the United States the price let's say anywhere between 200 and 300 dollars this is going to be different for everyone depending on what you're selling limits are for instance feedback I'm going to ignore anyone with less than 30 feedback and anyone with more than 10,000 feedback and I want to look at anything that's sold in the last 30 days and I'll click search and what this is doing is it's finding products that have sold in the last 30 days that meet these criteria that are at least twenty dollars between twenty and three hundred dollars and someone who sold it who has at least thirty feedback but not more than ten thousand feedback and so you can look here and see what types of items are selling in the computer desk niche you can even look at the items see who's selling it and see what else they're selling as well so this kind of gives you a good idea of what is being sold on eBay another thing I like to do is click on category research on the left and pretty much run the same search computer desks and go from between twenty dollars oops twenty dollars three hundred and three feedback and ten thousand feedback and click on search because what this is going to give you is a more broad overview of how well computer desks are selling and specifically what I like here is this the average product price sixty two dollars and forty three cents so I know that realistically I can sell computer desks on eBay I can dropship them if there's somewhere around sixty two dollars and forty three cents or less anything more they might still sell but probably you know there's a lesser chance that's going to happen and as you see that 70 percent of the listings that show up in this page are successful so there's a bunch of other things you can do in there with it but I want to show you actually my favorite feature of Zeke analytics and that's called the competitor research if I click on that allows me to scan any cellar store on eBay so I just found a random seller here on eBay through not actually a drop shipper but you would want to scan a drop shippers store I'll just copy down his name or their name rather paste it in here and click search and it's going to show me all the items that this person is sold in the last 30 days as well as some awesome other information about them so it tells me that they are selling from China they have a very high sell-through rate I kind of ignore the sell-through rate because of the way it's calculated is not really what I consider to be a true sell through they show me how many active listings they have 1890 and in the past 30 days they've sold 7,000 346 items that's pretty it's pretty insane so they really have this dialed in correctly they're really doing well with their store total earnings seven hundred seventy thousand two hundred thirteen dollars and ninety cents so like I said this is not a drop shipper this is someone who does wholesale direct from China so they can afford to sell cheaper items you know and sell a high-volume of them but yeah if you do is read option or you can see all their most popular items here and then you could sell those same items because if someone else is dropped shipping them successfully you can dropship the same items as well so this is always where I start with Zeke analytics now once I actually find an item to sell it's now time to list it up

for sale on eBay so for instance let's say we wanted to sell this computer desk from Home Depot well now it's time to work with OTO DS is a tool that does a lot to help me manage my ebay drop shipping business but we're going to start with using it to quickly list this item for sale on eBay pretty much automatically so I'm coming over to Auto TS and clicking on the Left where it says uploader and what I'm going to do is copy down the URL for this item now it doesn't just have to be Home Depot they also have a bunch they have Walmart they have been good they have Home Depot Wayfair Costco overstock cost away and they're always adding more as well but I'm going to paste in the Home Depot URL and choose Home Depot and then just click grab details and what it's doing is well this is the first thing that it's doing it's telling me that there's a word inside the description of this item the word patented and that's like a red flag they're kind of giving me a red flag here that says hey you might want to be careful Westing this item because it's patented so I might actually not list this one it might list a different item but for now just for this example I'll click let me continue and that feature right there that pop-up is one of the things I really like about Autodesk is they kind of warn you if these items are going to be a problem or not so that you don't run into any risk or any problems when you're listing your items so what did it just do it pulled in the title here which I'll usually change it then pulled in the price and it automatically calculates how much you then need to sell it for in order to cover your eBay fees your paypal fees and in order to make a profit and it automatically applies that new price it pulls in a bunch of item specifics which eBay really loves item specifics the more you have the better and Autodesk pulls in a lot of them and it pulls in all the images and they have a really nice looking description here with the whole description it pulls in from Home Depot and the image right here making everything look really nice all I have to do is scroll down to the bottom click save and schedule and then I come up to the Chrome extension and it will add the item to ebay for me just like that so that just took a matter of seconds to list that item onto eBay from Home Depot using Auto DS now that's not all Auto DS does Auto TS now has linked up the item from Home Depot with the listing on eBay so if this price changes Auto TS will automatically make sure that the price changes on eBay for me either up or down and stock as well so if this item goes out of stock the price or the item will go out of stock on eBay for me as well so all that's being done for me automatically but if you wanted to see it you could just click on the tab that says active listings this will show me all the items that I listed using Auto D s looks like none right now because this is just a test account that I use and you can see all the price changes and things like that what else can you do here well once you actually get an order you can click on the tab that says orders and Auto D s is pulling in all the orders into its software it makes it

very easy to stay organized with your orders so on the right here there's a status column so you can change the status to you ordered it from your suppliers website or that it shipped out or that it's been cancelled whatever you need to do help you stay super organized you can also add notes to each order so you can add a note saying if there's any problems with it there's also a field here for purchase order ID so once you order the item from Home Depot you can then enter the purchase ID here so that you don't have to try to remember what the order number was for this particular ebay order it's saved for you right there all right but we have the orders here and now we're ready to purchase the item from Home Depot we're gonna use this as an example right here this one how do you do this well this is where another tool that I use comes in called spot and paste now spot and paste is a Chrome extension you can see it up here it does a few different things and I want to show you how it helps me fulfill my orders and how it speeds up the ordering process so once you install the Chrome extension it modifies the auto d s website to add these buttons right here and this button over here so for this item I'm going to select on this drop-down be frugal and what it's going to do is it's going to open up the be frugal website which is a cashback website that I use it will automatically go through that website so that I get cash back for my purchase and brings me over to the item on homedepot. com so here you see the item right here just brought me right here just by clicking one button then all I have to do is click Add to Cart and then I can begin the checkout process now once I'm on this screen I now have to pace the buyers shipping address on this page because that's where the item is being shipped to now this is where spottin paste also comes in handy because over here on Autodesk on the right here there's this column that says copy so if I click copy and then come back to Home Depot and click on the Chrome extension and click paste it just paste the entire address in there for me so just two clicks I didn't have to do copy and paste and this doesn't just work on Home Depot it also works on Walmart it there's a ton of them it works for I can't even name all of them maybe it shows you somewhere on here it works on a lot of websites and even if it doesn't work on your website there's actually a way to teach it how to work on the website that you want to work with so it really helps speed up the ordering process so that's how I use spot and paste with Auto TS to help me fulfill my orders now once the order has been placed we are now going to wait for Home Depot or whatever supplier were using to actually ship out the item once

they do the supplier is going to give us a tracking number and that tracking number we now have to upload to ebay as proof that we actually shipped out the item now if you're doing just a few orders a day it's fine to just go into your email get the tracking number and upload it to ebay yourself but wouldn't it be great if there's a way to automate that and that's why we use tracker bot this is it right here the way you set it up is it connect connects with your Gmail account scans Gmail looking for all your orders your order history from PayPal emails and it also looks at all the tracking numbers that you receive from your suppliers so it's able to tell when you have new tracking numbers that need to be uploaded and then just by clicking a few buttons it will upload those tracking numbers to eBay it really speeds up the process a lot I'm not gonna show exactly how it works but it's pretty easy to use now that's primarily what I use to run the business so to speak but there's one final piece of software I want to talk about that kind of helps more with some of the business side of it a little bit more boring but it is something that I wanted to talk about and this is it right here it's called tax jar now on eBay when you're selling on eBay you might be responsible for collecting sales tax and in many different states and that can be confusing and tax jar makes it super easy for you to manage your sales tax so this is the way it works I've set up an account and what you do is you link it up with your PayPal account actually if you have multiple PayPal accounts like I do you can link it up to multiple PayPal accounts you can also link it up to your Amazon account if you're selling on Amazon I have two different businesses one for eBay one for Amazon so I have two different tax jars these are linked up to my two PayPal accounts for eBay and it gives you some information here like this button on the right that says check for economic Nexus this will let you know whether you should be collecting sales tax for some states there so the way it works is you are responsible for collecting sales tax if you start selling enough into that state and this will check to see if you hit that threshold yet and also tells you other stuff like your year to date gross sales mine for eBay is as you see a little over 800,000 dollars and more importantly this section right here on the dashboard shows you when you're supposed to file your sales tax return for each state that you registered with and how much you owe them so you see here North Carolina I have to file this in the next few days and I owe them $387 Colorado here it says I don't have to file for another month I only owe them three dollars and seventy one cents now it's kind of like that seems pretty low you can click on it see all the transactions and figure out what happened so in this case I see I don't sell a lot into Colorado and there's another component of it I'll talk about in one second you also see here Louisiana this one is orange which means that I've under collected now sometimes the amount you under collect is not a lot so in this case I saw that I actually owe something like 40 something dollars so it's not a big difference but they will warn you if you've under collected so that you can then fix that collect the proper amount for the next filing period and the other great thing about this is that each state has a different filing period some wants you to file every year quarter or month so this helps keep track of everything I just log in to here in the first of every month and it tells me what I have to do and you see for Pennsylvania here I've collected zero and it's green which means that is correct and the reason that's correct is because eBay is now collecting sales tax for us so more and more tax star is becoming irrelevant or not necessary because eBay is taking care of sales tax for us for many of the states so Pennsylvania is one of them so that's why mine says zero and the other one what was the other one Colorado they just started collecting for that one which is why that number is not zero but it is lower so what you do is then come in here and click on sales tax report and then it will then walk you through the process of how to file your sales tax return and send the money to North Carolina so that you can be all paid up they also have an option to do auto file where they will automatically file the sales tax return for you and then you don't have to worry about it generally I find for most states it's not that hard to do it yourself North Carolina the reason I haven't done it yet is because it's without a doubt one of the worst states it's just so tedious fouling your sales tax return with North Carolina you've been meaning to set up Auto file and I just keep forgetting to do it so I really have to remember to do it because it just takes too much time to do North Carolina but yeah like I said more and more that's becoming irrelevant because eBay is handling sales tax for us so there you go guys that is all the software I use for my ebay drop shipping business and again elf links to all these resources underneath this
