if he is your supplier,he could have his own website and/or sell on Ebay as well,so why not buy there from him,his own website could be cheaper(without Ebay/Amzn FEE)

I'm sure he won't be able to offer 2 day shipping. The price difference won't be much of a big difference.

2 day shipping is probably not economical...

So you would agree that higher profits with slow shipping is more important than making your one time buyer happy with faster shipping?

it depends, e.g., how high the profit is high?

I see. Just curious. Researching right now

[agent006140]

you can be cheaper than your supplier-
if you buy where he buys and you buy more.
if you pay the same as your supplier,and willing to sell or less than him

[wealthacceleratorsinc]

It is a very dangerous tactic since Amazon can find out if you are a dropshipper or not.

[agent006140]

AMZN could shut you down,as it said prime shipping is for prime members,not your dropshipped customer.
You know prime shipping is expensive.

[agent006140]

there are so called add on items,like dental tape,which you can get at a low price if you were buying regular items($35),you can order those add on items and sell them for higher price ,then it is not dropshipping as you have them in your possession and it is cheap to ship

I think this method is safe so long as your metrics are sound. How are you dealing with the identical tracking information?

[agent006140]

IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?
Consider your profit cant be that much,and you risk losing your account

[futbolplayer]

Yes, it is worth it because the margins are insane.

[agent006140]

please tell

Sky's the limit with the ideas

The problem with eBay to eBay is that you cannot upload the same tracking number twice. This makes it much more risky b/c tracking will not validate and it may be hard to win item not as described case.

If do engage in both eBay to eBay and Amazon to Amazon arbitrage, I am looking to discuss strategies with others about circumventing the aforementioned challenges. I keep these types of transactions low to mitigate risk.
