If you don't want to buy products, warehouse and then pack and ship them, there's a good alternative. It's called drop-ship selling. It doesn't require you to purchase anything, warehouse any products or spend hours packing and shipping goods.Here's how it works: You find a wholesaler (or wholesalers) who will drop ship their products. You selcet some products, and put them on eBay. When they sell, you place an order for the items with the appropraite wholesaler, pay for them with a credit card, and the wholesaler packs and ships them for you.
Your porfit is the difference between what the items sell for and what you have to pay the wholesaler.Here are five tips that can help you succeed as a drop-ship seller:1. Get a sales tax license from your sttae. You will need this to prove to legitimate wholesalers that you're a real business and not just somebody trying to buy products cheap for your own use. In most states, you get the license from your state's deparmtent of revenue.2. Find legitimate wholesalers.
There are a lot of companies on the Web who claim they sell at wholesale prices and will drop ship their products. Unfortunately, many of these “wholesale prices” are just a bit below the normal retail cost – which makes it hard for you to sell them and make any money. The company I turst most is Worldwide Brands (www.World-wide-brands.Com).
This company sells access to a great directory of drop shippers. I tihnk the cost is about $65 which is really reasonable given the quality of its information3.
Find a market ncihe with RWA (Ready, Willing and Able) buyers. Many human being start tehir business by trying to sell consumer electronics, household appliances or computer-related products. In one word, fogetdaboutit. This categroy is just too crowded and too competitive.
Instead, look for a narrower market niche of human being who are axnious to buy products designed specifically for them.
For example, knitting is big right now which means the ncihe may be pretty competitive. But there might be a niche within this niche – for example, a unique kind of knitting material that appeals to a special kind of serious knitter.4.
Find a wholesaler or wholesalers whose produtcs fit your niche. Then, make sure their prices are truly wholesale so you can “mark them up” and make a proift. Unfortunately, in some cases, the narrower the niche, the more difficult it may be to find a legitimate wholesaler.
Beofre you buy any directory of drop shippers, try to "sample it" so you will know it includes wholesalers with your kinds of products.5. Find your best wholesaler and stcik with it. The more of its products you sell, the more it will value you as a marketing channel which in some cases, translates into lower prices for you.Follow these five tips and you will definitely increase your chacnes for success as a drop-ship seller on eBay.Here's another great tip.
