Dropshipping amz/aliexpress > ebay
 

Hi, i'm aware that ebay will eventually realize you're dropshipping and suspend you but how long does it take usually for this to occur? since it's stealth accounts so if it lasts a few months then that's also okay. Mainly looking to dropship from amazon to ebay or aliexpress to ebay and maybe some other retailers too, can't do american retailers since i'm located in europe. I did originally want to order from china bulk and then sell it and ship it myself but having issues with agents and unreasonable prices for shipping. I've been taking a look at autods and might give it a go. Does connecting AutoDS api to ebay flag your account? so many people do it so i don't think it does. Also i'd like to hear your opinions on the viability of dropshipping for a few months and how to avoid being flagged quickly when inputting the tracking numbers? and Yes i know it's not optimal but i can't order from china currently.

Also i found some amazon to ebay dropshippers in uk and some of the items they are making only 20-30 pence profit after ebay/pp fees. What's the point? some items about 1gbp profit, so they sell 100 items a day and make 100gbp a day? what software do they use? autods? i have a stealth account i created recently and want to try it, any tips?

not just EBAY does not like it,your buyer may not like it either,you make them look like fools.
also Paypal does not like it.
Why dont you go to local markets and strike up a bargain with the vendor,or go to fleamarket and find interesting things

You could do sea freight and save a lot on shipping. I'm heavily considering it when I have more cash flow and steady inventory

because selling cheap items don't deliver problems to u

90 out of 100 ppl won't even create INR case if they did not get their cheap order


its a common china sellers tactics btw.
they sell 1000 cheap items
ship nothing
when ppl ask about their order - the seller does refund
if the item price is 1$ and 600 ppl did not ask about missing item

the seller gets 600$ for nothing

sounds good?

some make money on shipping,say you have an AMZN prime account and use discount gift cards to buy on AMZN and you list its items on Ebay,mark them up to cover Ebay fees and charge them shipping,then your profi will be the shipping fees you collect and rest is from usng the gift cards,altho AMZN does not like these gift cards.

I sell cheap items and I can guarantee you that 100% of customers will come back for an item they never received.

Re: Dropshipping amz/aliexpress > ebay
 

THey bought the items because they need them and it is cheaper to buy from China,and they are in no hurry to get them,but they do check MY EBAY-PURCHASE history to track shipment,leave feedbacks and they will notice .

This is risky and not worth it since amzn does not like shady giftcards and you will end up losing money when they ban your account and don't refund the giftcard amount. I don't think they're doing this. It's more likely that they have thousands of items listed and even if they're making anywhere between 50p-80p on an item, if they sell 100 items a day, that's still a little bit of profit for them. I'm wondering if it's worthwhile for me to start doing this, i know getting items directly from the source (1688 is something i looked at) and using an agent since i don't speak chinese and quality control management is way better and definitely the better choice. However, i don't have enough money right now to buy a big bulk amount which i do intend to do in the future. I was thinking maybe this amazon to ebay dropshipping can be a little way to get some capital. Although, finding products on 1688 is a bit difficult since the good items rae already being sold by the chinese and they're selling it for very small margins so there's finding suitable products which is a hassle and i've been searching for months on 1688 and taobao to find good profit margins and calculating all the tax/fees/csutoms and everything with no luck. Maybe i am a retard
