Ebay: Shipping Products To Customers
If you wish to have an eBay business and make a living out of it, it’s possible, even if you don’t have your own products. eBay provides many people who want to quit their corporate nine-to-five jobs with a way to make a good living, without having to put up a lot of start up capital. Drop shippers make it possible. The customers of business owners can be sent merchandise from drop shippers. Having an eBay business makes you a business owner. You’ll be then able to offer many product choices to your customers, and you won’t even have to stock these products.
All you need to do is set up an auction and sell the product. You then pass the customer’s information on to the drop shipping company. The drop shipper does the rest, and they will even use your company information, as well as your company logo if you have provided it to them. Your clients will have no idea that you didn’t send the product. You’ll have more time on your hands to set up more auctions since the drop shippers will do the packaging, labelling, and shipping.
You must establish a relationship with several drop shipping companies in order to become successful. At the start, you’ll be required to send payment for the products before the drop shippers will send them to your customers. Make orders ahead of time and be sure to pay on time by using credit cards. In time, drop shippers will allow you to get your orders and be billed later.
When it’s time to set up auctions, have your reserve price higher than your cost from the drop shippers. Your main goal is to make a profit. Depending on the item you are selling, a mark-up of about 10% should be about right, but you should do some research to see if the item is selling for a lower price in another eBay auction, or through other online sources.
You’re not at financial risk if use the drop shipping method for your eBay business. The product will be sold before you pay the drop shipper for the item. This is one of those very few businesses where profit comes before expenses.
