The Most Successful Ebay Profit System
Posted on November 19, 2008 - Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
The more I hear about dropshippers the more scared of them I become. I have seen more sellers burned by dropshippers than I care to admit. The profit margins are slim, and you are competing against hundreds of thousands of other dropshipping sellers. It just isn't the way to go. What I have found that does work is to become the actual dropshipping company. Instead of having them sell it for you, you have people use you. The Neighborhood Drop shipper.
How it works:
With just a few well-written flyers you can set up a great dropshipping system. I have found that most neighbors want to sell things like antiques, coins, memorabilia, DVD's, and all sorts of things but just don't know how or where to do it. This is the perfect opportunity to have them bring you items to sell for them.
Things to consider:
Your cut of the final purchase price is crucial. You don't want to make it so high that your neighbors are scared off, and too low that you are not making any good money. I have found about 32% is the right number. I also like to pay all the fees, so your neighbors don't have any risk. You get a better selection of items that way. This does require a great amount of research to see what items will actually sell, and it will also require a very well thought out records system. This can be tricky.
This system can be very profitable. It takes a while to build up a reputation as a dropshipper, and plenty of mistakes will probably made in the beginning but it does let you sell without purchasing initial inventory, and insures some form of profit.
Good luck with your eBay career!
