No. Any inbound FBA shipments will be simply added to your inventory.

I guess you could theoretically use it to fulfill another order but the sheer mechanics and cost of it all would almost certainly cost you your account and a big lump of profit.

Were you genuinely dropshipping as approved by Amazon or engaging in retail arbitrage?

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

not approved by Amazon's dropshipping policy because the invoice and receipt would display 3rd party instead of mine.

Also return was going back to that 3rd party. Thats how they caught me.

What if I receive 20 orders a day from different customers and send them to Amazon FBA through 3rd party and Amazon can ship them to the customer.

Cost should not be issue as I can always adjust the price, the question is , would Amazon FBA allow such thing as I know technically its not designed for such thing

Not happening sorry.

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

Amazon punishes so much late shippings, unless you have a good supplier and be sure than you accomplish with shipping requirements, difficult on amazon...

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

You dropshipping?

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

There are many successful dropshippers on Amazon and make very good money. You just need to pick good suppliers and avoid high risk suppliers like Walmart, SamsClub, etc.

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

dropshipping has become amazon's biggest pet peeve and they despise anyone caught dshipping. First you have to have an established account, passed the initial 90 days and have decent sales volume. Then you have to make sure your supplier does not ship with any invoices or branded boxes like Walmart, etc.
Amazon will pose as legitimate customers and test buy products to see if you are following the rules.

I would advise only shipping from supplier to the customer from known, safe dropshipping sites if they even exist. I only trust a couple of sites for that. And only after a 3 month period of decent sales that are not dshipped.

It may be best to add some handling times and just order the item and ship to yourself first. All it takes is for one customer to complain that you shipped an order in a Lowe's package or WM box and its game over. You will likely never get your payment from amazon.

I just got a new account and will do some fba and fbm(but only items i will ship from my home) till i feel like im not on the radar before i start dropshipping again. Its a real gamble nowadays. Amazons monitoring software is insane.

When you stock products , It's hard to make a profit anymore

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

Amazon's rules will be stricter than eBay's

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

Definitely - and which platform do you prefer?

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

You will be really limited in customization. Everything you do in terms of branding, UI, marketing, and more is under Amazon's control.

pretty rough indeed

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

Amazon has a significantly larger customer base and global reach compared to eBay. This means that you may potentially have access to a larger pool of buyers on Amazon. However, eBay still has a substantial user base and can offer significant opportunities for sales.

Due to its size and popularity, Amazon tends to have more sellers and higher competition compared to eBay. This can make it more challenging to stand out and gain visibility for your products. On eBay, depending on the niche and product category, you might face less competition and have a better chance of capturing the attention of potential buyers.

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

It is no longer fun shopping on EBay,I see so many sellers just copying AMZN or WMT or Costco photos and mark them up,so when I see stock photos of new items,I will go to AMZN and find out if it is available and how much,and end up buying on AMZN for less.
Sometimes I go to WMT as I like to support some one who can stand up against MAGA ,WMT workers are hard working decent people.

Thread kind of died out in 2023 but the fun of shopping on ebay has changed a lot, agreed.

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

I think amazon to ebay dropshipping is NOT a good mode anymore , considering the profit is very low when you list on ebay with high transaction fees and ads costs

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

AND , When you fulfill orders using tools like autoDS , They have a lot of fees

Re: Dropshipping & Amazon
 

Too many people doing it,listing on Ebay is free,if Ebay just charges a nickel per listing,you will see many listings disappear !

Thread still kind of dead ^^^
