Dropshipping on Ecrater

[supdawg1985]

Wanted to try out this site because of its low fees and the free reign it gives sellers. Also, it integrates Google Shopping, which is a huge plus. Has anyone had any experience dropshipping on there? I could list hundreds of thousands of products, I just am concerned because it seems rather difficult to manage listings. You can't even upload inventory revisions. Manually updating prices and stock would be an impossibility.

I see the upside but also some serious stumbling blocks. Any insight would be great.

Do you have experience trying out this marketplace, particularly with a dropshipping method? What specifically is so poor about it? I figure it should be similar to Bonanza in that it gets your items listed on Google Shopping.

I'm still trying there, but without much results. It takes sooo much time to start getting views. I'm doing different accounts there because for some reason many of the accounts aren't getting anymore updates in google shopping. Right now I have acc running from week or so and have only 22 views on the item, since before for one week I had one order.

I like the site overall, but i do not know what is going on there.

Hmm, what wrong? Something is going on there but.. what.. probably their services are working soooo sooo slow and that's why is happening this. I can't find solution regarding this. It takes 6days to create them your googleshopping merchant acct or something like that and after that it "should" start getting views on the items.

they don;t keep up with the evolution unfortunately. i just think the site is very old and they don't want to do any big updates.

every other place i sell update google shopping in 24 hours. i asked eC.rater if they will ever fix this and they said no

I really like the site because of the paypal express checkout( I almost do not have on hold on the funds ) and really like it.

Since im not from US, I can't open Mercari account for selling, eBay.. ehm its little bit complicated there because of the limitations, and only ecrater is good option but they have sooo bad performace.

forget dropshipping on any platform, its a headache and likely to get you banned as your not in control of your own product, so you will most Llikely get alot of unhappy customers. Been there done that,

Did you have issues with googleshopping? If you still using this platfrom, do you still have this issue?

As I said above, i had 1 account and had many views/orders, in other account with same product --- literally nothing, got less than hundred views.
