Have you ever considered setting up a store and selling on eBay? If you have then you may be aware of the many so called drop shipping companies on the Internet. Many of them promising you tremendous profits; just post it, sell it, and have it drop shipped. In theory that sounds about right, but the fact of the matter is the same items will be posted on eBay for even less than what you are getting them drop shipped for. Many of these companies are buying the same items in bulk lots, pallets, or even directly from the manufacturers. For this reason it is very difficult to post a decent profit after all the listing and selling fees are taken out.
One thing to consider is that there are many drop shippers out there, and not all drop shippers are created equal. Some companies will drop ship items for more than you can buy brand new on Amazon and other online marketplaces. These are not true drop shippers, but merely middlemen. It’s not to say that you cannot be profitable by utilizing middlemen for your wholesale needs. In fact you will find that many drop shipping companies are middlemen. There is nothing wrong with this, but research is paramount.
Research maybe the single most important factor in choosing the right vendor for your needs. Do not rush the research process. Take your time and look for customer reviews on the companies you are researching. Search negative terms along with the company name to see if there has been ant negative publicity on that company. Remember that no company is perfect, so you can expect some negative reviews if the company is large enough.
While there are many companies that will drop ship, for the purpose of this article I will focus on the top thee eBay drop ship companies. These companies have all been around for many years, and with careful technique you can be very profitable using their services.
The most popular nowadays for eBay wholesale resources are dropship companies who will ship the company on your behalf. What’s good here is that as a seller, you do not even have to shell out money for capital since you do not have to make the actual purchase before you even sell them. All you have to do is to create and upload your listings and update them from time to time.
This allows you to save money on unwanted inventory surplus. You also do not need to handle the hassle of delivery, packaging and invoicing as that is usually taken care of by the ebay dropship company.
And also, the one thing you should not forget when dealing with eBay wholesale resources companies is to check for the availability of their stock. Of course, you do not want people to issue you a negative feedback because you are a non-performing seller.
