Re: Drop shipping from Amazon to eBay is now a Violation
That would cost you an extra $2.86 which would wipe out the profit many AMZN resellers make.
I just received an item bought on Ebay for 4.63 and shipped by AMZN ,cost is $4.01,unless the seller is using her points,I dont see how this is a profitable transaction after ebay and paypal fees.
ebay fee and Paypal fee would be 0.43 plus 0.46 =0.89?
also if buyer wants to return the item,you would have to give her an AMZN return label if it is free return?? |

Work around I've thought of would be to send buyer a letter/padded envelope with tracking and inside just say "thanks for your purchase, your item was shipped directly via amazon with tracking number (amazon tracking # etc). That way your packages all ship from same location and they can't claim not received.
| How much money do you make drop shipping? I have just never seen how its worth it.
For me, if I'm not making at least 50% margins a sale, it's not worth it.
I just thought it was all 3rd world people, where 2$ a day is a big deal. |

-if you go this route,buyer will end up with 2 packages,one is empty with a note and the other is from AMZN.
Some order many items from different sellers and venues,they could think you send them an empty envelope and file item not as described,?
AMZN shipping and tracking number is useless for item not as described,they are complaining about your shipment,not amzn |

Re: Drop shipping from Amazon to eBay is now a Violation
I am just glad no one here thinks drop shipping is profitable. Please for the love of God stay ignorant! There is enough competition already, we don’t need anymore. ;) |

Re: Drop shipping from Amazon to eBay is now a Violation
Drop shipping literally saved me from completely going under after many successful years of selling on eBay. I don’t know about others here but I’ve always been selling legitimate none VeRO products. The main issue most drop shippers including myself are having is a trademark takedowns and yes the profit isn’t like what I used have when sourcing products from China however if you are able to maintain at least 100k sales a month you can still make a good decent profit. Of course there are a multitude of other issues that may come up but that’s what I love about this game. Only the smartest and determined survive. Also I don’t think you have to be actually intelligent to be a drop shipper but you definitely need to be smart about it. |

| That’s the thing .... I never employed any VAs. I simply do not trust others with my business and I am not saying you shouldn’t hire a few VAs to help you but make sure you train them well and make sure you monitor what they do or else they will screw up your entire account. However I know that in a long run you just can’t run this business without help. So maybe eventually I will hire. I know of some drop shippers that have over 50. |

| 100k/mo w/o VAs? I suppose you're dropshipping high-ticket items? How many listings do you run? |

Re: Drop shipping from Amazon to eBay is now a Violation
You must be crying eBay is cracking down? Sounds like bans will be issued to any retail drop shipper.
It does not seem possible to me to hide drop shipping unless eBay really is just dumb as hell. Even then, buyers and competitors could report you. |

if I buy an item from Macy and later find out it is cheaper at Nordstrom,does Macy say because you are being lazy and not shop around?
Do you call this good customer service?
Anyway,it is not up to us,it is up to the venue,Ebay does not like it,and it is going to punish ,are you going to tell ebay because buyers are too lazy to shop around?
Do you think Ebay is going to buy this argument and unban you?
Come back and tell us when you win the argument,I will paypal you $1k
| No because that's not good customer service, but I can tell you you're lazy because I dont give a f*ck
Do you really think I give a damn about Ebay banning me, or Amazon banning me? I've been dropshipping with Amazon and selling on Ebay for ten years. There's no argument, because I just fire up another acccount.
Dropshipping is a valid business model used by many international retailers, Ebay and Amazon are dropshippers FFS and the fact that you are hating on it, is a clear display of jealously. There's been plenty of dropshipping denialists on here and most of them are under-achievers |

| I have no reason to be jealous of your dropship business,it just tell me you are a sleazy merchant who exploits others to do the work for you and you lack capital to build your own inventory.
as to being lazy,who is being lazy-you.
I can also ask you -are you too lazy or stupid not to buy from the manufacturer and wholesale distributor at a true wholsale price instead of buying from a retailer called AMZN and pay retail price?
buying retail and selling retail aint too smart !!!!!!!!! |

| Ebay has to do something,every time a package arrived ,it said AMZN,COSTCO,WMT,JET.COM,the buyer will go to these sites and find out they can buy for less,it is free advertising for these sites,not to mention boosting their online sales.
Ebay offers free listings,these days you have to go thru pages and pages of similar/identical listings to find what you are looking for.and then you have to make sure they are truly based in US and ship from USA.
And Ebay loves its Chinese sellers,if they ship from CHina,you have to give them 30 days for the item to be delivered.
not all dropshipping is banned,you can dropship from manufacturer and wholesale distributors,no one expects you to stock every model,every design. |

Re: Drop shipping from Amazon to eBay is now a Violation
Drop shipping is no longer welcome on eBay. Sure you can fire up more accounts, they will be banned as well. I guess if it's still worth your time, have fun with all the BS.
Anytime I get an item that is drop shipped, I'm reporting it, returning it and leaving negative feedback. And I'm well within my rights to do it, eBay has made that clear now. |

HOW DO YOU REPORT A SELLER?
The report this item or seller button is gone ! |
| agent006140 | 05-03-2019 10:16 AM |
Re: Drop shipping from Amazon to eBay is now a Violation
What is that old TV show,by R Sterling ,where folks go to another plane and see things and meet people who do not exist on the physical plane?
This is happening on Ebay now,you see listings after listings of paper towel holder,sushi bazooker ,mousepad,rice cooker,frying pans,stainless steel clothes pin,silver polish,vitamins,glue,pens,pencils,rulers,they all have the same pictures and descriptions,and you find out they all come from WMT,AMZN,COSTCO,Jet.com,Sam's club and these sellers are not employees of these companies.
Make you wonder why waste your time buying on Ebay,why not just go straight to those sites and buy them for less,WMT offers free shipping if order is $35 .
But Ebay has no one to blame but Ebay,offering all you can eat free listings |

Re: Drop shipping from Amazon to eBay is now a Violation
eBay is slowing killing themselves with this drop shipping BS. Maybe now they are turning the ship around...
Remove drop shipping, Chinese sellers, and all the misleading price tricks people use. |
