I Answer The Most Searched eBay Dropshipping Questions!

today is Tuesday which means that it's time for another QA all about eBay dropshipping my name is Paul I usually do these live every Tuesday night at 8 p. m. Eastern right here on my youtube channel this Tuesday I'm busy so I'm not able to be here live so I thought I would do something a little bit different a little fun and I'm going to answer not your top questions about eBay dropshipping but google's so let's go into my computer and see what questions Google has about eBay dropshipping so what I'm gonna do here is just type

in is eBay dropshipping and see what comes up it's asking me is eBay dropshipping legal and the short answer is yes there's nothing illegal about drop shipping on to eBay there is no laws that state that you're not allowed to do it and there's no one that's going to put you in jail for drop shipping on to eBay the other question you want to ask is it allowed even though it's legal doesn't mean that eBay allows it but in this case eBay does allow it they have no problem with us drop shipping lots of people do it with no problems so definitely is legal to dropship onto eBay the second question I see here is eBay dropshipping dead and no the answer is drop shipping on ebay is not dead I've been doing it myself for about two years now very successfully my business still continues to run and I have students of mine people who have taken my courses people who watch me here on YouTube and just friends of mine who do eBay dropshipping and are also really successful with it I'll try to put a screenshot of my sales here so that you can see that my sales are still doing well on eBay even at the end of 2018 next question is a Bay drop shipping profitable I think I just answer that question as well it does work and take a look at my screen shot again of my sails to see that it still does work and it is still profitable and that kind of answers the next question does eBay dropshipping work absolutely so let's

try does eBay dropshipping does eBay allow dropshipping yes we answer that one do they support it yes they do what is eBay dropshipping nothing cool coming up there how to make money a Bay drop shipping well I do have a cool resource for you if you want to learn how to make money a bay drop shipping the second link underneath this video is a free mini course I've put together all about how to start a bay drop shipping is completely free just have to sign up for it no credit card required no obligation to buy anything just check it out and it's a good place to start if you don't know how to get started with eBay dropshipping let's see how to make money on ebay drop shipping from amazon so this question comes up a lot in search results because people are always focusing on drop shipping from amazon to ebay and that's because people are smart they realized that it is really easy because Amazon is such a giant when it comes to online retail and because their website just works really well so it is very easy to get a system in place to drop ship from amazon to ebay now the downside of that is that a lot of people are doing it so that means these the market is very saturated does that mean it's impossible no I have people who I know who are starting amazon to ebay drop shipping businesses all the time and they're doing well with it just means that it requires a different strategy means you have to list a lot more items onto ebay then you would if you're using other suppliers such as some that are like off-the-beaten-path more so to speak so amazon to ebay drop shipping is definitely probably the most popular one so if you're using any sort of software to drop ship from amazon to ebay or onto eBay at all you're always going to find software that works from amazon to ebay and then usually those softwares branch out from there usually the next one they add is Walmart that's also really popular and then from there they branch out into some of the more unknown or less popular websites to drop ship from and that kind of moves into the

next question here that Google has for me which is how to automate eBay dropshipping so there are several different ways that you can do this and let me first start out by saying that in the beginning you're not going to be able to automate it right away it will require hard work to start an eBay dropshipping business it is something new for you so that you always have that learning curve and it just requires work you got to put the work in to understand how it works and to get things go and get the ball rolling once you get things to a level that you're satisfied or you're getting the momentum that you're satisfied with there are so many different ways that you can automate your business you can start to use software and I've talked about this in past videos I have links to a lot of that software underneath this video that software can help you quickly list items onto eBay it will reprice the items so in other words if the price goes up on Amazon it's gonna go up on eBay as well so that you don't lose out on any money and if the price goes down on the Amazon is also going to go down on eBay to make sure that you continually stay competitive as or as competitive as you can there's software it's called tracker BOTS have a link to it underneath this video that will automatically upload tracking numbers to eBay so as you get a high volume of sales like I'm selling over a hundred products a day that's a lot of tracking numbers tracking tracker bot makes it really easy to handle all those tracking numbers because it automates much of the process for me and then after that the order processing there's really two routes that you can go in my opinion the first route where gets three routes one you could do it on your own which after a point I don't suggest you do that the second thing you do which I choose to do is I hire actual assistance I hire these VA s they're called for short from countries like the Philippines and I pay them between two and three dollars an hour and they place all my orders for me that way I don't have to do it and I can focus on others other parts of my business now the website I use for that is called online jobs and there's a link to it underneath this video if you want to check out that website I like that one because it ends up being the cheapest website to use there are some that are free to use and online jobs is not free to use but the other websites they take a cut of the Vash eck every week and that means you have to pay them more so over time and very quickly actually it is more cost beneficial to hire from online jobs as opposed to one of these other websites now if you don't want to go that route of hiring virtual assistants you can find software that will automate the ordering process and there's a bunch of different software's out there that will do that I can't really talk about this because this is not something I've done myself I choose to hire virtual assistants for a number of reasons first of all it's just the way I've always done it that's not always the best reason to keep doing something but it is when it does work and the other reason is because I just like the idea of hiring people - or hiring these independent contractors to do work for me and giving them money helping them get a salary I just like doing that and I'd rather do that than pay for a software to do it so if you're interested in any of the things I talked about like I said there are links underneath this video full disclosure those are affiliate links meaning that I'll get a small like kickback a small commission if you buy through those links but a lot of them have free trials and I only recommend these softwares because I personally use and love them so if you want to try the software and for whatever reason you're not comfortable using those links that's fine I just highly encourage you to check them out on your own because I do think they work really well if you're interested in automating your business now the last one I forgot is called spot paste that's one I love a lot too because that one will quickly copy tracking numbers from eBay I'm sorry addresses from eBay and allow you to paste them into your suppliers website when you are checking out so in the ship to field it makes things go much quicker I use that for both my eBay and my amazon drop shipping business let's

see what else how to start drop shipping on ebay with no money so I'll try to remember to link up a video above this one there'll be a little note up here about that video and that's all about how much it costs to start drop shipping onto eBay a video I made a while back and the good news is that it's very inexpensive you're going to be first signing up for a buy account which is free then you'll be signing up for a software and the software I recommend is linked underneath this video it's the listing and repricing software most of them will give you a trial or a really cheap trial so for that it's free or really inexpensive to get started with it and those are the two primary things that you need now with eBay you can get a free account I recommend you pay for one of their subscription plans because it will lower your eBay fees your final value fees so that's just something you want to keep in mind but in the beginning it is very inexpensive to get started with eBay dropshipping and that's because you don't have to buy any inventory you are not buying the product until someone buys it from you then once on eBay you're going on to your suppliers website like Amazon buying it and shipping it directly to the customer only after you get paid now there is something I want to talk about called PayPal jail if you're not familiar with that it's PayPal jail is a probation period of three months when you first start selling on eBay so eBay I'm sorry PayPal will actually hold your funds until you upload a tracking number that tracking number show the item was delivered and then two or three days later they'll release the funds to you they do that for the first three months sometimes less once you're out of this probation period or paypal jail then they don't hold your funds anymore they release them right away so just something else you want to keep in mind so during that time period the best thing you can do is either use your credit cards if you're comfortable with that and pay for the item then once PayPal releases your money pay off the credit card or to just use your own money that you have saved up and then reimburse yourself once PayPal releases that money to you but people get scared of PayPal jail it's really not something you should be scared of at all in my opinion

opinion how does how to make money drop shipping on ebay in 2017 a little outdated there because we're in 2018 as of the making of this video how'd it start drop shipping on ebay from Aliexpress so these people are looking to drop shipped from Chinese suppliers overseas using Aliexpress this is something I don't mess with and the reason for that is because I don't like the long handling times that are involved with drop shipping from China to the United States long shipping times I should say eBay's search algorithm or their whole algorithm they prefer faster shipping so I prefer to list items that are being drop shipped directly from US warehouses from US suppliers like Amazon Walmart Home Depot to customers here in the United States I know people do it it's just something that I choose not to do because of the long handling times ok

let's see what else let's see what happens if I just search ebay drop shipping amazon ebay drop shipping software which we talked a little bit about the Lister and reprice er that I use I'll link that one up underneath this video eBay dropshipping suppliers so the suppliers we use there are multiple different ways you can dropship right a big the way that people traditionally think about it is you set up a store whether that's on eBay or Shopify or Amazon and then you link up with a supplier that supplier might be a someone a manufacturer of let's say tables or kitchenware you link up with them and you tell them hey I open up a storefront online can I drop ship from you and you got to set up with that relationship with them you got to call them you get these excel documents from them that show the full inventory and all that and then once the item sells you contact that supplier they range the whole shipment and everything that's not the type of drop shipping I do more of a retail arbitrage model where I will actually drop ship from online retailers like Walmart Amazon Home Depot websites like that onto eBay so once the item sells on ebay I then buy it from Walmart and ship it directly to the customer I never have to worry about creating a business relationship with these manufacturers or calling them or potentially getting denied by them to drop ship from them so don't have to worry about any of that my suppliers are other online retail websites okay let's

the drop shipping tools no I've never seen I've never actually been to the reddit forums about eBay dropshipping and Walmart - eBay dropshipping is a common search term again because Walmart just one of those suppliers that's that are really easy to deal with one of the problems with Walmart though is that when you're first starting out they will cancel a lot of orders for you not that they will it sometimes happens it's just a fraud prevention thing that they do so the best thing to do is to call them and they will lift it and you can usually place the order after that sometimes that's all that all that's all people have to do and then it will work indefinitely after it will forever work after that other people though it they still have problems so I suggest paying with gift cards or PayPal after that and that usually clears it out and allows you to place your orders with no problems let's see what else can I
