Every day I get people asking me, why is not good for eBay Dropshipping and every day I give them same list of five reasons.  So, I thought I’d it as article so everyone can learn.  Here 5 reasons eBay are seller should avoid Dropshipping (in reverse order).

# 5-Out of shares corresponds to bad feedback

Often run dropshippers out-of-stock on popular items.  That is, after you sell the items on eBay and drive you then with your suppliers that have element Dropshipped you know that the item is not in stock.  Then, you have to say the bad news to your buyer and will usually receive a bad feedback in return.  The eBay forums are filled with vendors that are by the bad feedback, they get destroyed, by trying to Dropshipping.  They are also filled with complaints from buyers who have received not the item that you ordered, because the seller a Dropshipper–was used, and after the sale, the buyer informed that the item was not available.

# 4 PayPal will keep your money

About a year ago, in January 2008 eBay and PayPal, some new guidelines issued.  One is, put an impact on funds.  Here, the quotation from eBay’s policy:

“In a small percentage which can cases where has found that the risk of the dissatisfied buyer is higher, PayPal delay release of funds the payment to the seller until the buyer has left a positive feedback or 21 days without hassle vergangenForderungen”, Chargeback or reversal on the transaction. “

All new eBay sellers who attempts to use Dropshipping , occur as a method for their products, that they their means to access, when the product of the customer reaches the door.  One of the most charming aspects of Dropshipping – the ability to sell a product and then using the buyer’s payment acquisition of accounts for.  With PayPal, your money keep for 21 days this is not possible.

# 3 Direct from the source-code competition

This is a relatively new phenomenon that has come about by the recent explosion “from China” dropshippers.  Simply put, this means that many this Dropshipping actually sell the items on eBay company directly itself.  You are “Double Dipping”.  While a Web site, the Dropship products will provide your eBay customers directly from China, they are also the same products on eBay even sell.  This one only needs in the electronics category on eBay looking for evidence.  Many of the listings have a map the location of Hong Kong or elsewhere in China.  Yes, the dropshippers are in competition with their customers.

# 2 Profit margin is below $0

This is not an error.  The profit margin you will face when Dropshipping is for sale on eBay usually 0 (zero).  Nothing.  Nada.  In fact, end the most people, you try a dropshipper, your eBay products deliver first always frustrated and wines “is the price, the which my dropshipper for the product sold, more than the price, the product sold on eBay for.”  And they are right.  See you wholesale is to buy everything in the set.  If you use Dropshipping you buy only one an element and did not expect that a wholesale price.

Now why pay a little more for an article, not a big deal it can be if you sell it for top dollar for your local store, is a big deal when you try to sell on eBay.  eBay is a place people go to get a business.  They want not to pay full retail price, and chances are, that they can find the element for a low price, if they only to eBay to look a bit.  Because even if you can not sell an item for the lowest possible price (because you use Dropshipping), there are thousands of other eBay sellers who can.  It is so true.  Often, the price will get you from your Dropship supplier be more than the product sold on eBay.

# 1 Dropshipping works not on eBay

Taking into account the other four reasons not with Dropshipping for sale on eBay it may seem obvious.  And it should be!  The bottom line is that Dropshipping and eBay are a toxic combination.  While eBay is the place to sell products for people who want a business, Dropshipping , you can buy products at the highest possible “wholesale” price is.  And during your dropshipper thousands of product-can offer, they probably have thousands of customers like you listed the article on eBay.  It works simply.

Now, I hope, I convinced you have to stay away from Dropshipping , when it comes to selling on eBay.  For more information about why Dropshipping on eBay please visit a bad decision you DropShipping sucks and reading the page.  Not only it will explain in detail why Dropshipping never you eBay success, leading to it you also offer an alternative is, that works.

This is all for now and remember the ancient wisdom.  If it sounds too good to be true, it is usually.  This is definitely the case when it comes to eBay and Dropshipping.
