What is the Correct Methords of doing Dropshipping on ebay?

[dbfolks166mt]

     The first recommendation, as it has been to all the Sri Lankan sellers that have asked this question, is to DON'T. Drop shipping is a recipe for disaster. If you feel compelled to venture into this mine field make sure you read the following FULLY and understand the liabilities you are taking on. Fully understand that YOU are 100% liable for the on time delivery of exactly what the buyer purchased. Any INR, NAD, eBay cases and/or Chargebacks are yours to deal with not your suppliers.

It is all but impossible to be long term successful drop shipping on ebay.

Much better ways to source product than that.

Don't do it.  Recipe for disaster.

Don't dropship here on ebay. If you begin to have any type of non-deliveries, late shipments, items not as described, or feedback complaining that you're a drop-shipper, then you're inviting ebay to look into your account & more than likely permanently restrict your account.

Avoid dropshipping!

The correct method is not to do it. 

It is nearly impossible to make money on a business model in which you have to compete with people that are actively losing money. And anything you can drop ship from China will have so much competition that someone will always be selling the product at a direct loss per sale in hopes of building up their brand, feedback or store.

If the stuff is so great, why don’t they sell it themselves?

Because most of the stuff is already in every 99 Cent store, Dollar Tree, 5 & Below, Indoor Swap Meet, etc…..

Find a different way, seriously.

Fabric? Ethnic jewelry? Baskets? Handmade goods? Teas and spices (watch international rules for these)?

You have a lot to learn before you sell.  Right now it appears you're buying extremely cheap items to build your feedback, and some are from sellers you shouldn't buy from. A 98.6% feedback rating and below is a horrible seller. Your latest feedbacks is from a seller who has listings that are violating the digitally delivered goods policy. You should report listings that violate policy instead of buying the item.

Dropshipping is the fast track to being suspended. If the item is out of stock you won't  know that until after it sells. You won't have the item in hand so you won't know if it has factory defects or if it's cheaply made or a good quality item.

When you first start out selling you're limited to sell 3 items. A month after those item sell eBay will increase your limits a little at the time so if you're thinking about buying a store subscription you should wait until you can list 500 items or you're just wasting money.

Whatever course or video these guys must all be following must be telling them to post on these boards.

They are. It's part of the courses they overpaid for.
