eBay Dropshipping Product Research Tutorial for 2019 [Step-by-Step]

hey how's it going everybody in this video I'm going to show you how I do product research for my manual drop shipping store specifically how I find products to dropship from overstock. com into my manual eBay dropshipping store hey I'm Paul and I'm committed to teaching you the exact strategies I use to create multiple six-figure businesses on eBay and Amazon these are the same methods that changed my life and I'm here to show you how they can change yours as well so the goal here is to

find items that are already selling well on eBay that we can purchase from overstock well list the items up for sale and eBay once they sell we will then order the item from overstock and ship it directly to our customers that's the way drop shipping works so the reason I'm using overstock is because this is not a supplier I've talked a ton about before even though I've used them a long time ago this is a good supplier for a number of reasons one of the reasons is because they give a ton of coupons to you you'll constantly get emails letting you know you get twelve percent off ten percent off it's pretty common to get these coupons so I want to take advantage of

that potentially and sell some of their items now starting a new supplier is always tricky trying to figure out how to find people who are drop shipping those products and how to really find the right products that are already selling well on eBay so I do have some tips for you and the first one is with any supplier a lot of times they have brands that only they sell so if we search for overstock exclusive brands they might tell us that some of these brands only overstock sells so if we find people selling those brands on eBay there's a great chance that the seller on eBay is a drop shipper so let's see let's overstock unveiled 17 exclusive private label furniture brands it looks like this is one of them right here the gray barn Carson Carrington house Laurel Creek here we go list of all of them so I like to find one that has a pretty unique name now let's try a Haven side home so copy that and all I'm going to do is search for it on eBay and by the way guys all these videos I make these are just unedited off-the-cuff not planned out so these videos could be really long we might find nothing hopefully we at least find something here so you see that overstock themselves they sell on eBay which is definitely one of the challenges to using them but here it looks like this is not overstock I'm gonna open this up let's see if this is in fact an overstock item it hasn't sold yet but that doesn't matter all I'm trying to do is find a drop shipper who is drop shipping from overstock so I can search Google for the title we'll start with that and here's something from overstock yeah so I look at the stock photos here and then look at the photos here if they match up then this is a drop shift item

now right here it will tell you if the items sold this one hasn't sold yet but let's see if this seller is selling other overstock items that might have sold so I'll click on his name on the right and click right here and you can scroll through here it will

tell you if this item is sold so this one sold because it says is only one left so a little tip here is you can use a tool a free Chrome extension called eBay popularity sort and you can get this just by searching for eBay popularity sort on Google and adding it and what this does it's going to put the most sold item at the top you can turn it on and off I just turned it on and now we'll refresh the page and it works for the most part it's not perfect you see in this example this item didn't actually sell it doesn't say it's sold rather but there's 28 Watchers so it put that one at the top this one might have sold so let's look at let's open it up and look yeah this one's sold 10 times so this is an item that I would want a dropship if I can find it so I'm going to search Google for the title again overstock pops up and we look at the images see if they match the images here and yeah they definitely do so this is an item that I would for sure dropship myself right there and like I said when I end up selling this I'm or want to end up buying it from overstock I'm going to use some of those coupons that I get because I still get a ton of them in the mail even though I don't use overstock

anymore so I would sign up for overstock without a doubt if you're going to use them you'll get coupons for them all the time that you can use you can find some other items here as well potentially let's look at this one sold four times so let's search Google for that one here's an overstock listing I didn't even look at the images so these are the images here same this is just available in two colors and yeah I would definitely dropship this one as well so we're doing pretty well already I'm pretty happy about that because sometimes this takes longer but it seems like we're hitting some homeruns right away so pretty excited about that and let's just open up one more and then we'll try to find another drop shipper so this one sold three times search google for that there's overstock well we found it again so again another one that I would sell you might be wondering again where these margins come in are you actually gonna make money here again you want to use those coupons they're available to you so you might as well use them let's look at some of these other drop shippers see if we can find someone else so we're done with this guy but I would keep going through all of these now there is software that you could run this person's account see all their sales but quite frankly I'm trying to do this more manual way without software show you guys how to do this for free right here so these are all being sold by overstock so much other luck there well let's try one these other brands try maison rouge thicket it's called I'll actually turn off eBay popularity sort and then we'll try it with it on so that's just pulling up perfume and stuff that's it's not what I'm looking for let's try James and sorry Oliver and James and you know what somebody's works here when you get the results you're not expecting you can look here you see overstock they

so mostly furniture that's the types of items they sell and lots of items that are kind of bigger and the benefit to that is that furniture like this that's very generic it doesn't have an inherent value the value of these items are what consumers put on them you could show to people this let's see like this sink and faucet set and depending on the context some people give it more value than others so it's pretty easy to mark these items up in price and people will still buy them from you with things like televisions or cameras things that have brand names attached to them they have a value that is pretty universal anyone can look up the brand of the computer or the electronic or the television and the model number and see how much it's being sold on other websites and usually those can only be sold for a certain minimum price so everyone's going to be selling it for the same price where things like this the price fluctuates so widely based on the value that the customers put on it which is a lot of times influenced by you as the seller and the price that you put on it so that's why these items are so easy to sell on eBay so where was I here we were talking about how maison rouge wasn't pulling up any results so that we're relevant so what I'm going to put on the end of this is the word furniture and see if that works so this right here might be a overstock item let's open it up and actually it is because this is the guy we were just looking at right I think it was what subscribers yeah this is one we were just looking at so that worked as well just didn't find a new drop shipper you know these two don't appear to be drop shipped because these do not look like stock images right here let's take a look at this one that looks like a stock image and let's see if we can find this on overstock by searching for the title is this it do you think yeah there we go so we just found another match and again this person is definitely using the coupons as well so what I could do now is go through this person's items and see what's selling because this item isn't selling but they probably have other overstock items that are selling so there you go guys that's how you do it you try to find these exclusive brands search around try adding worth furniture to it find a match with the photos like I said guys I do this before you guys because you guys like these product research videos if you like this one as well make sure to give the video a thumbs up smash that like button down below and let me know in the comments section if you want to learn more about how to do this product research want more videos like this and in the meantime underneath this video in the description I have a free class a free intro class to eBay dropshipping go ahead and click that link and sign up it's completely free and that will introduce you to eBay dropshipping if you're new to it I have more product research more in-depth product research inside that free mini course as well guys thanks so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video bye for now
