Trust me; you want no part of the drop ship game. What once was a great idea has now spread so everyone and their mother is doing it. Margins are razor thin at best and I suspect non existent when you factor in most drop shippers "Membership fees" along with eBay and PayPal's cut.

Depends on the dropshipper. Some are great, but they require membership. Some are not serious and you can kill your reputation. But answer is yes, there are alot of dropshippers that you can pay after you're selling.

I have a few contacts w/drop shippers. You should really just look around online and pinpoint what it is that sells on ebay.. then find your supplier/dropshipper. I have a few myself and we could actually become partners.. if you are interested I assure you it is not BS. I go to school fulltime and pay all of my bills through this stuff. You can contact me on messenger or email with the username I have.

You are talking about either drop shipping or affiliate sales.\n\nThere is a free ebook on affiliate sales available at http://amc.inquire-sbi.com.\n\nThere is information about both drop shipping and affiliate sales, as well as other ways to monetize a Web site at http://inquire-sbi.com\n\nIf you want to handle actual goods, the same company can set you up for that, too.

selling kids is illegal hehe\n\nSeriously it sounds like the eBay trading assistant program might work for you.  You could look up trading assistants in your area and ask them if they are looking for employees.  These generally will be small operations, but they will have a lot of room to expand.

I am sure a few try to,  but they could end up winning, and then the seller would have to pay ebay the selling commission and have the fee for posting the item.  If they do too many of those that don't really sell,  they would be losing money in the long run.\n\nIt is my opinioni that most are honest and sell properly.\n\nOf course you have sellers who get your money and never ship an item also.  ( I got one of those last year)

I use it all the time. I am a frequent seller and buyer. You just need to beware of shipping rip-offs. But in general Ebay is a fantastic forum for finding what you need.

I would suggest buying a book on this, there is a book called Selling on Ebay for Dummies ( I don't mean you a Dummy) but it covers all of the basics for Ebay and will also tewach you how to list items with good descriptions and what options to use on certian itmes and so on. I really think the book would be the best\n\nGood Luck, I have a friend who does this and make s a really nice 2nd income!!

Trust me- you want no part of the “wholesaler” game. What once was a great idea has now spread so everyone and his or her mother are doing it. Margins are razor thin at best and I suspect non-existent when you factor in most drop shippers "Membership fees" along with eBay and PayPal's cut. \n\nAs for what to sell -\n\nHonestly, it is trial and error. However, the old adage – “Sell what you know” holds very true. Take something that you are knowledgeable about and wait for a bargain. For example, let’s say you know a lot about car parts and one weekend you stumble across a shop having a clearance sale - $150 car stereos for $30 bucks (or whatever). Take it home and list it for $75. Your customer thinks they saved $75 bucks and you made $45. Now multiply it by 100 sales and you are in business.\n\nTo sum up-\n\neBay is not free money. My wife and I work about 20 hours a week on our eBay auctions. We don't make a fortune, but we make enough it’s worth our time. We do about $2K a month in sales and we profit about $500-$600. It's not "easy money", you DO have to work at it, but if you're are willing to invest the time and effort, you can do it.

You talking about dropshipping, just look it up on the internet and you will get a bunch of sites. However watch out for sites that say you dont need a business license if it says that then what is happening is your buying from a middleman and therefore cutting into your profits.

check out their feedback first ! most off them use a service call 'Drop shippers' Which is like a virtual warehouse but they can buy stock at wholesale prices and then sell them at what ever price they want to, but some are SCAMS be very careful !! Even ask the seller a question first as well.

Pro's-\n1) You don't hold any stock, so no chance of having left over stock to get rid of\n2) No overheads of storage, etc\n3) Allows the opportunity to 'buy' a wider range of products\n\nNegatives-\n\nHere, I will speak personally. I used a dropshipper for a while, The Select.co.uk, and they were useless. They sent a package to one of my customers that was broken, they didn't send an order out to someone but didn't tell me, so I had no idea that I had a p*ssed off customer on my hands... they go out of stock but don't tell you, so you sell something that basically you can't supply... but it's you who has to deal with the flack, not them!! \n\nI really wouldn't advise it, it may seem cost effective, but it is more stressful than you can imagine!

Sounds like spam to me. Word to the wise.... anything that is too good to be true or makes it super easy to get money is a scam. Don't fall for it.\n\nPaypal is real, I use it to make ebay payments all the time. But this program is just like the letters you receive in the mail from the "retired lawyers" wanting you to send $1 to everyone on the mailing list. Don't do it, you're too smart for that!

Most important thing to remember: Sell products that people actually want. \n\nSelling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tougher, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees. And you will find that many sellers are not making it well on ebay \n\neBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace: \n\nItems In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html  \n\nHot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left. \n\neBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action. \n\nMerchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html  to view the current Merchandising Calendar.\n\nBuying from garage sales and selling on eBay is fun, and good getting a few dollars here and there from ebay. Sometimes, you luck out on an item and hit big, but many times it will just be so-so (assuming you can even get the price you paid for it). In terms of fun factor, it is great. But from a business stand-point, it is not. Not sustainable.\n\nIf you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. Selling on ebay is getting tougher -- just look at the number of auctions that closes without a bid. Go to the boards on ebay and you will hear even oldtimers complaining about how stiffer competition plus higher fees make it so much harder to sell on ebay.\n\nOne success model of ebay is the couple Jay and Marie Senese (username jayandmarie) of the 1-cent CD fame. They have the highest positive feedback number of all sellers on eBay. Their business model is to buy very low cost CDs in bulk (those that CD stores sell in their discount bins) and offer them on ebay at a starting price of 1 cent http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_23/b3886080.htm Their success is based on the fact that they stumbled on a sustainable business model with products that people really want. They sold their business -- where else but on ebay -- for $5 million! Now that is success.

Yes money really can be made by selling on e-bay. As with any endeavor, it is wise to research prior to jumping in. Make sure that the product you are selling is doing well on the site. Figure in the cost of fees. Read all of the fine print. Start off with just a few items to give you a chance to learn the intricacies of listing, collecting, shipping. Then once you feel comfortable, go for it. I did, don`t regret it one bit. You`ll also find that many of the people you deal with there are very helpfull.
