Drop Shipping Does Not Work on eBay
Considering the other four reasons not to use drop shipping when selling on eBay this might seem obvious. And it should be! The bottom line is that drop shipping and eBay are a toxic combination. While eBay is the place to sell products to people who want a deal, drop shipping is the way to buy products at the highest possible "wholesale" price. And, while your drop shipper may offer thousands of products -- they probably have thousands of clients like yourself who are also listing the items on eBay. It simply doesn't work.
OK, OK... Before you get all mad, let me add that drop shipping can (CAN, not DOES) work on eBay if you have spent a long time establishing a rapport with a wholesaler who is then willing to give you a true wholesale price on items that they agree to drop ship. This however will take time and also you will need to make some larger purchases from that wholesaler first to show that you can sell in the volume required to make it worth the wholesaler's while to drop ship for you.
Well, I hope I have convinced you to stay away from drop shipping when it comes to selling on eBay. For more information on why drop shipping on eBay is a bad business decision you can visit www.DropShippingSucks.com (yes, Drop Shipping Sucks) and read the page.
That's all for now and remember the age-old wisdom. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. This is definitely the case when it comes to eBay and drop shipping.
