It's worth noting ebay are clamping down on Arbitrage sellers:

You mean productwise?

Re: Does Amazon to eBay dropshipping still work, or too saturated?
 

No huge experience but I tried to dropship 1 product from AMZ to eBay. This item was $127 on AMZ and $145 cheapest on eBay (Buy now and brand new). Tried US only first.

eBay fees (10%) and paypal fees (in my case ~5% since US to non-US) made me break even, and if the buyer was in a state with high state tax i even lost some money.

Then the product arrived with AMZL or UPS who just threw the package in front of the buyers door which they didn't like, even wrote me that if I dropship then do it correctly lol. Tried 1 product set quantity=7 and sold it very fast. One buyer returned the items (certainly realized that he can have this cheaper on AMZ) and long story short, even with a amazon discount I was best case scenario break even.

That said, many people do dropship and earn money. I just think you need to have listing software and some price comparison software between ebay to Amazon I'm not aware of. I just didn't like messing with buyers so trying to do something else now

I've sold my items for more on ebay when on Amazon it was actually lower... not everyone likes to shop on Amazon

Thats my experience but then I got this message from this guy writing me:

"FYI,

I had this delivered to my office. I received the package, but I saw that it was hanging on my door for anyone to steal. While I appreciate fast delivery, Amazon drivers have poor delivery standards which is why I buy on Ebay in the first place. If someone stole the package, I would have had to file a case against you in which Ebay requires verifiable tracking in the order details from the seller - and TBA tracking numbers do not work on Ebay. You need to contact Amazon for an alternative number.

UPS, Fedex, & Amazon are not allowed to put packages in the mailbox so they leave them outside when people are not available, which is very high risk during holidays.

Please consider my experience as both a complaint & a precaution if you plan to dropship regularly on Ebay."

Nice guy btw lol :)

Do you only sell items on ebay that are cheaper on amazon? eBay Fee + paypal fee + currency fees i come to around 17% fees of the ebay price. How do you bridge this gap?

I do Amazon Flipping. Works great but a lot of competitors are Russians
