Listing First Item with DSM Tool - Watch Me Start an eBay Store Pt. 2

what's up fellow dropshippers I wanted to take you along as I listed my first item on my new store using DSM tool so I'm just gonna experiment with how this works I'm not gonna do any product research yet I'm just going to list one item to see how it works right so I just came over to Amazon looked at toys because it is Christmas time Pokemon came up so I like I said not gonna do any research just picking a random item just to test DSM tool so here's the item I want to list I'm going to copy the link I think on DSM tool over on the Left there's a tab for rapid lister I'm clicking on that and pasting the link here alright let me see something yeah okay pasting the whole link here choosing eBay and a template I'm gonna go with big sale for now I'm not quite sure what the templates are but we'll stick with that for now and click import wait for that to load alright and I'll see this is where I would change the title here's some just suggested words that's pretty cool Pikachu toys throat toys Pikachu in there don't need these sizes real rand Pokemon action figures I don't know normally don't include brands unless this a brand that people know I don't know if that's a popular brand I'll stick it at the end for now Pokemon action figures 144 pieces or toy pieces I'll put Pikachu Rio and toys let's see what else here might want to see also my name this I'm not gonna get too much into optimizing titles and like I said I'm gonna try the sniping method for this store anyway so I really shouldn't be wasting my time optimizing these titles so I was leave it at that for now you know I like to fill it out but we'll just leave it at that for now just trying to figure out how this works oh well this is neat competitors so this will tell me how much other people are selling it for in eBay this guy's selling it for 20 and on Amazon it would cost me 21 so this doesn't look like it's gonna be a good product because it looks like there's already some steep competition this guy is selling for 20 is sold 150 so I cannot compete with that that's really neat that they show you all this well this guy's selling for 24 though and he sold 20 of them this guy's selling for 24 and sold 262 and that's really neat they show you all that and this might be a good way to find competition I'm assuming if I click this it will bring me to the competition no sales tax this seems like a drop shipper 262 sold it's probably another drop shipper and I just found their store so that might be an easy way to find some other drop shippers and this would be the how do you do the price so if the desired profits 20% estimated profit so let's if I lower this okay now the price is coming down okay so that's how I would if I want to lower the profit to be more competitive that's how to do that I'll leave the quantity at 1 because it's a new store all this information looks good to cancel new treer true location Phoenix I always changes to where I am I'll do that later so you guys know I guess I could put it now you all know I live in New York New York all right here's the images is one image better now this one the main image is good and let's see this is

title of that update with the title up there yeah says it right here ok cool and everything looks pretty cool to me all right so I'm actually not gonna publish this one because it doesn't look like it's gonna sell well and I do want to check out if this profit thing I don't really know how to Adam I don't how much to markup these items on Amazon so that's something I want to look into as well settings that's what I'm looking for ok so I'm kind of getting off topic here you have to blur out my email address my name default currency I'll change my time zone I'm in the Eastern time zone that's negative 5 I believe I don't know how I know that I reconnected with my PayPal account I'll click update let's see what else I can change here the dashboard alert on items out of stock well that's cool it will alert me if an item is out of stock for more than three days alert me on items last sold more than 30 days ago so I'll get an alert if an item hasn't sold for 30 days if an item has less than 10 views so as cool stuff kind of prevents you from wasting space with these items that aren't selling let's checkout listings default target will be eBay because that's the only one I use in other words this is where it's gonna list - I am location I'll fill in New York assuming this means I don't have to type this in every time default break-even percentage okay I don't quite know right now I know the default I mean it's about 14% before taxes I mean if you don't have to pay sales tax so 19 is probably a good number but if you have to pay sales tax for some states I'm actually going to lose money on that but I'll keep it at 19 for now just so I can be a little more competitive and then desired profit I'm assuming this is sorry profit on top of the break-even point let's see what this says and it will make the premium revolution okay I'm gonna lower this to like 8% just cuz I'm trying to be competitive at first do I want to block Bureau brands so V row brands are items that have a lot of copyright issues with them so companies like Dewalt I know if you try to list their brands your listing will get removed because you're using their images their descriptions and those are copyrighted and they don't want you to do that you are allowed to sell their items but you have to take your own pictures and write your own descriptions for them so I'm gonna leave that I guess on for now enable auto filling of item specifics by Lister yes I don't want to do that myself logo none I want a logo business policies these they're pulling directly from eBay so you gotta set that up in eBay which I've already done no not the 14 day the 30 day update and I can go over in another video how to set up business policies within eBay itself but I'm just going over a DSM tool because this is a new thing for me let's see what the monitor change target quantity 2-0 so when an item enters the protection mode so I'm assuming this what this means is that oh yeah protection mode is when an item goes out of stock or is out of free shipping so as soon as an item goes out of stock DSM tool is going to set the quantity to zero the other choice is to double the target price so I'm going to do zero Amazon Prime protection yeah so now this is self-explanatory they'll give me alerts when AIIMS out of stock I want everything to be enabled yeah so I'm just going through this looks like there's a different setting for each source I'm just concentrating on Amazon right now let's see what sales or I'm not subscribed yet all right so I think that's a good setup I'm gonna start using it and see if I change any other settings but yeah that's I think a good start for DSM tool pretty self-explanatory but I hope you guys if you were a little confused you can see that you can see how it works here and I'll show you what it looks like after I list a bunch of items on it I'll be in
