Selling on eBay

Drop ship VS. Wholesale


Anyone who is looking to start a business on eBay has one very important decision to make before they can begin...and that is where are they going to get their products? Although there are many different ways to get products to sell, because of the new laws that state you cannot sell for another person on an auction site unless you have an auctioneers licence...this really leaves you with 2 choices. You either go with a dropshipping business, or you buy first via a wholesaler. In order to make this very important decision, you must first decide what you want to sell.

Many people make the mistake of wanting to either:

a.) sell electronics

b.) sell only one type of thing

It is critical when selling on eBay, to be diverse, cheap, and you must be sure to play by the rules...or else you may lose your thriving business. Playing by the rules means, not selling products below M.A.P (manufacturers approved price), and selling exactly what you are promoting....not a knock off. One sure way to know whether or not the dropshipping or wholesale site you are thinking of parnering with is a scam, or the real-deal, is by looking at their electronics (if they sell them). The major manufactorers of products like Apple iPhones, Dell computers, wii video game consoles, etc., they do NOT sell to small companies, and ONLY supply large corporations with several hundred thousand dollar orders at a time. That means scammers like dropshipdesign.com who promote themselves as a wholesale dropshipper selling name brand electronics, are really NOT wholesalers at all.
