after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

hello
i almost reached 1 year timeline for my etsy experience
i had many problems with etsy suspending my fresh accs but then i figured it out
i had almost 40 accs already and some of them made 100$ per day clean profit and some of them made 1 sale per month :)

what is your experience with it ? im mostly interested in profits how much is possible on etsy per month with at least 5 different dropshipping stores?

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

were your accounts suspended or deactivated?
it depends the account it can go easily 1-2k per month

What are you dropshipping on etsy??

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

How do they know if you are dropshipping?

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

Probably your ship from address compared to your personal address idk

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

no i know people which ones doesnt add tracking numbers on etsy and they still sell for years :) its your competitor who reports you for dropshippings thats all
sometimes i think algo can detect your pictures like google photo finder so you should edit supplier photos or simply just order 1 piece and take photos on your own in studio

my accs only suspen when someone reports me thats it !

just find aliexpress supplier with huge inventory + real US warehouse and you will have same shipping adress always

there was guy selling among us desk lights and he sold like 200-300 pieces every day :) he made almost 80k during black friday period

Downloads are better than that, nothing to do but pick your nose while the cash rolls in.

Dropshipping is real tedius, filling out those aliexpress orders all the time, then difficult customers cost you real $$.

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

downloads ?
you mean digital files on etsy ?
can you tell me examples what can i sell ? or where i can get the items from ?

Do you need a new bank account everytime you create a new account?

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

It's not suited to everyone, I can draw so it works for me. I've done dropshipping on e bay and I think if you put tons of work into either field, both give great returns. I just hated the customers lol.

Also, as others have found, when converting from the dropshipping model to importing and doing the shipping yourself model, customers are 10X happier. A much nicer business.

thats my future plan to find a product private lable it (branding) and create shopify store + many different marketing plan but for me thats almost a 10k$ investment if you want to see any results :)

so i will stick to etsy for a while i think i can scale up to 10k month on etsy too because i can simply have 10 shops together and for me it takes no huge effort to work with dropshipping model

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

Dropshipping is perfectly fine if you can find the correct suppliers with good logistics.

How are you able to create so many stores do you need a new bank account per store?

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

im doing paypal stores only its way easy and works fine and also you dont have fear that at the end etsy will keep your money :)

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

are u dropping from china? It takes like 45 days......

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

you can find supplies which ones have storage in US and they ship in 7 days some in 12 days or use spocket.com and you will find faster shipping

many DM me but i dont have 25 posts and i cant reply so guys just use countries which ones doesnt require ID or bank verification you only need paypal and thats it.

some guys sell paypals here and etsy accs too so if you dont want that much work buy from them you will make 10x 100x return of your investment

if i had bank and id verification problem i think i can deal with that :) but thats whole new theme

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

Great info so I'm guessing each account will need its own PayPal account?

I found a supplier with high ticket wooden and iron works products - US stock. Plan to sell them as my own hand made products. Do you think etsy can tell if it's not my own hand made products?

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

i think talking too much here might cause some etsy policy changes so just think more you will find the ways try paypal settings for email you will find the gem

Re: after 1 year experience on etsy dropshipping
 

edit photos + title + description and etsy algo wont guess it + try searching edited photos on google photo finder and if it find aliexpress link then you should edit these photos more
after you will gain some profits buy that prodoct for you and take pictures in studio

Hi, how you create manual order in spocket? Are you creating shopify/woocommerce store then manual buy?
