Reporting a dropshipper
 
Hi everyone,

one of the niche I'm selling in was flooded with the seller who drop ship stuff. He simply finds items on the local online market, takes all the photos and the description (basically steals) and puts it on Ebay with 200% margin. Well, you know how it's done.

I don't mind this business model (although I wouldn't do it myself), but the strategy he is using is really annoying and it's literally ruining the whole niche.

He doesn't have much sales since his price is close to insane and the photos he uses beyond crap. But he has like 200 listings (bear in mind it is a really small niche with 250-300 listing max), so even having higher DSLR rate other sellers have drowned in the flow of this sh*t.

So I was wondering is there any way to report such sellers?

If the seller isn't selling much....why would you report them? would you like to be reported? Are they cutting into your business?

I explained why.

So basically your just a cry-baby, well you can report them via the "report item" link on their listing.

judging by your last post it's hard to believe

he doesn't have much sales with 200 listing on a small niche ??? It's maybe time to change of niche !! If he doesn't have much sales, what's the problem ? If his selling method is better than yours, why don't you just apply the same method ?

You can Report him, Ebay won't do anything about it

^^Agreed. The guy is making Ebay money, therefore it's extremely unlikely reporting him/her will have any impact.

Most of the time dropshippers kill themselves off within a few months from what I've noticed. It's nearly impossible to comply with Ebay's new standards if you don't have 100% control over your selling operation. I would just wait it out. His metrics will get him kicked off sooner or later, lol.

Drop shipping rarely works long term. He will likely sooner or later end up getting limited

In the mean time just focus on your own account and make sure your in prime location when he does get limited to pick up the slack

Spiteful behaviour, trying to cause problems for honest dropshippers because they are doing better than you

Re: Reporting a dropshipper

Re: Reporting a dropshipper
 
just make multiple accounts and flood the market with your own listings. i'm doing this in niches where it's impossible to compete with Chinese sellers and just saturating the market with my listings, and i've been killing it! of course, i Dont use same photos and descriptions, and i wait a few days between accounts before listing good till cancelled listings.

on another note since this guy has to mark up so much, why dont you do the same? if he is drop shipping he wouldn't be able to compete and even if he does, everybody will make more money. so win-win.

The drop ship days are over, paypal hates them since they create alot of buyer problems, sooner or later they will be limited, anyways hope he makes some quick cash and invest in something else before he gets limited and bored of online selling.

Re: Reporting a dropshipper
 
Yes the dropship days are over!! I suggest all of them give up so I can make more money $€£

Re: Reporting a dropshipper
 
There are two ways to drop ship. I sell certain items (and no I will tell you what they are) and this Chinese dude sells them for one fifth the amount I sell them for. He sells them for cheaper than I can ship (Under $2.60 cents and comes from China). So I post at a reasonable LOW price plus $2.99 shipping. So the least I can make is $3 and order. And when my customer orders from me I just order from him on ebay and he ships. Not a lot of money but no work, no inventory, no shipping labels, no envelopes, etc. If I could find 100 of this type deal I could QUIT ordering products.

Its not right to go and report someone for just selling!
