Does eBay Dropshipping Work in 2020? Q&A #2 w Jack Pitman

what's up fellow dropshippers today is Tuesday which means it's time for another Q& A today we have some great questions and later on one of the questions I'll get some help answering it from a buddy of mine Jack Pittman and I'll tell you more about him in a minute so the first question I got was does Home Depot like drop and from my experience they really don't care I buy a lot of items from Home Depot for my customers they've never had I've never had a problem with them they've never complained to me that I'm buying too many items from them or giving them too much money doesn't seem to be an issue for them so the next question related question is does the customers see that the item is from Home Depot and the answer is yes they do

you look behind me you'll see a whole bunch of boxes some of these are returns but a lot of them were items that were accidentally sent to me instead of to my customers just a small hiccup we got it all sorted out but I do have to return these items you see I'm grabblings boxes you'll see some of the boxes just brown you know but it does say on the return that's from Home Depot you'll see it but trust me it says it some of the boxes are a lot more clear clearly says the Home Depot on it but quite frankly if I got this box in the mail I would just think that somebody bought this box from Home Depot put their item in it and shipped it to me I wouldn't think that they actually bought it from Home Depot's a lot of people use Home Depot boxes when they're moving stuff like that now as you open up the box there is a packing slip included and it does say it's from the Home Depot but it does not say what the price of it was so the customer usually won't see that usually sometimes Home Depot uses outside vendors that they don't have control over and those vendors might but the prices Matthew wants to know if there's a good course I can recommend for eBay dropshipping and yes there is it's the one I took it's David who's udemy course I'll put a link to it in the description below it's the course I took is where I learned everything and in addition to that I just watched a lot of YouTube videos which really helped me out a lot which is why I'm trying to give back now and make my own videos for anyone else who is new Alexander wants to know if I'm worried about eBay making a buy box for their products yeah I guess we're a little worried about that we've only been doing this for less than a year and I know most veteran eBay sellers have gone through a few big changes in the history of eBay and kind of worked through them lived through them and became better sellers as a result of it and that's just what's gonna happen here no I'm not the only one who has to change everyone has to change so I'm hoping that we can find a way that if these changes do happen that we'll be able to you know still make a profit on our store so the last question that I was asked is actually a question I get asked all the time it's probably the number one question I've been asked lately is it's still possible to make money drop shipping on ebay in 2017 / 2018 and to help answer that question I have a very special guest today his name is Jack Pitman he is a youtube personality he makes videos about eBay dropshipping about video games he has a different strategy when it comes to eBay dropshipping he does what's called bulk listings and the only drop ships from Walmart so he'll just list thousands of items at a time that are on Walmart on to his eBay store and just hope that the volume of listings he has without optimized titles is what gets him sales and I am the other hand I individually pick every single item that we list I'll change the title optimize it so it's a different strategy unfortunately this was the first interview where that I recorded and the audio really stinks on it I did the best I could to clean it up but just be aware that the audio might not be so good a first part of this interview where I'm asking Jack whether he thinks that image on shipping still works in 2017 that I

used to kind of wonder oh and then possible you know Vic now there's in the eyes right yeah at first I had the same doubt I'm like that does this work like will this work and now I'm at the point where I'm thinking to myself what like I have to be picky about what does work like there's so much I want to do to try to make on the online it can't do everything I know this works and it's not just drop shipping that works you know other things work like people who would do FBA who do affiliates make money on YouTube all these different ways people with money courses like these things work it's just getting the mindset to convince yourself that it does yeah yeah if it doesn't work but because you didn't like you didn't try enough things we gave up yeah shipping his life okay there's a slight issue in paypal jail but really if you don't need money the dropship like especially if you compare it to like traditional physical prisoners like you can't even start on this whole business without alone or without some kind of capital do you know yeah I started drop shipping I don't know I'm not the best example of this that I've heard a whole lot and I don't have a ghost business practice I never had any money and I'm able to you know do this for a living granted I live a big rock right over here near death house about this month but I've also said not really like so in two thousand like fifteen I took this course called dropship lifestyle do you know this by Anton yes of course by an time craley K are you go dropship lifestyle calm and that's drop shipping from not from retailers from manufacturers directly to a Shopify store that you make yourself right and I tried it and I failed and that no I didn't I like took a break at that point and like I gotta try something else something that costs less because that was a lot of money up front that I lost the course alone was like a thousand bucks and I think it's more money now no penny on that and then I was like shoot like I got to make that money back somehow so then I bought a ten dollar course literally ten dollar course on udemy and I don't know what yeah I have no idea what the ROI on that was but it's been huge because I I'm sorry making ten grand a month now so it's I gotta watch that one he's interesting platform definitely I like it more as in student just because you can get so much information for so cheap yeah yeah you got to experiment a lot in the beginning it's really hard at the beginning because you do you don't know what you're doing you don't know what's a good title and even if you do have a good title you might not know it because people aren't buying from you because you don't have any feedback so it's really tough in the beginning but if you I've been doing some experiments the other one is us as well when I started ahead like zero feedback it doesn't matter I do think that it's one of those things that when you start off you can usually write less exposure because there's less items so I hope you guys
