eBay

I am drop shipping on eBay. How is the best way to list more than an item or two in an hour? When I chose an item to list, I copy and paste images and description etc. But I often feel that the title and description need to be worked with to improve SEO. All morning is spent and I have only listed two or three items. Is this a common problem?

My apologies.

The OP did not say he was copying his own listings.

Dropshipping is allowed on ebay.

I didn't have to accuse, the OP admitted stealing other sellers descriptions and photos. This is NOT honest behavior.
Sorry if this bothered you.
I put a lot of time and effort into every one of my listings and do not appreciate lazy people just taking it.
Good photographs take a LOT of time.
Selling on ebay is time consuming. It takes time and research to honestly list items, especially in some categories.
Regardless, no seller deserves to have their hard work pilfered.

Most vendors that dropship products allow use of stock images. That is what the OP means by copying images. Dropshipping is not being lazy if done correctly. It takes a lot of work maintaining inventory and knowing what will sell. I dropship as well as source on hand inventory. It's a business model not right for everyone but it works for me.

Drop shipping is not profitable, you will lose money. Take my word for it I researched it for a while. I had some snarky phone calls with people trying to sign me up and practically trying to force me to do it. You are better of buying items at a larger discount elsewhere. The 10% discount you get from buying dropship items while at the same time the manufacturer sells them to the public for full price is not enough. Unless you get them for 90% discount.

Maybe you need to carefully reread the OP's post he did not say he stole them from other sellers!
