Course 2 · How to do eBay dropshipping

Lesson 1 · ~10 min · Free training kit

What is eBay dropshipping. And how it works

Sell on eBay, buy after the order, keep the net after fees. The model in plain language.

With dropshipping you hold no inventory. The customer pays you on eBay, you purchase that item from a supplier (usually Amazon), and it is delivered to the customer.

The task is simple: locate items whose eBay price beats their Amazon cost once fees are subtracted.

Example: eBay sell price $40. Amazon cost $24. eBay fees ~$5. Tax/extras ~$2. What’s left (~$9) is your net profit on that order.

If Amazon is more expensive than eBay, you lose money. That is the whole risk in one sentence.

Three ingredients: a seller account on eBay, a means of paying for items on Amazon, and a tool such as Dropenza to surface profitable products and keep the store running.
