Question:
The key secret to long term eBay success is that you simply cannot afford to pay for merchandise. The value of the items MUST have taken a STAGGERING drop in value BEFORE they reach the eBay seller.
I’ve found that items that have taken a staggering drop into a dumpster also do well. With a substantially better than 30:1 profit ratio, even factoring in gas. Sometimes selling for more than $19.63. Chris

Sure John. Send me half of what’s in your bank account. I’ll start a drop shipping business for you. When you get your first order ssend me the rest of what’s in your bank account. we’ll make millions and I’ll marry your sister. k?
Response:
I can’t believe that you guys are still using the Norfolk and Waay posting. It is getting reeaal old. Do you guys actually still laugh after the millionth posting? And then you even started up a web site ? Maybe you should try putting as much effort into helping people in this newsgroup as you do mocking them at their expense. After all, that is what this newsgroup is about, isn’t it? Helping other people ….. OK, off my soapbox…. John, Translating what people are trying to say to you, is that nobody wants to give you their suppliers that they spent allot of time researching and developing. Finding wholesalers/suppliers/dropshippers takes time and effort. Start using the search engines and putting in the time. This isn’t a get rich quick business. Possibly some people could chime in with some search techniques. In regards to dropshippers, I believe that the general consensus of this newsgroup is that the only people who make money from drop shipping are the drop shippers themselves. There are several people in this newsgroup who offer very convincing arguments against using them. Hopefully they will step forward and provide some advice. I am sure that they could be much more informative than I could. Finally, many people have many different business approaches in this newsgroup. Find the one that fits you. Just because one person does it one way does not mean that it will work for you. Find a market area that you think you can sell and stick with it. Research it, find suppliers. Start small and expand as you become more profitable. That’s my 2 cents. Hopefully other users will chime in.

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Can you spell that reason out for John so he doesn’t raise his expectations too much concerning what info will and won’t be shared by other ebayers? Ice Certainly. We will not share information with other eBayers on the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot, Yeti, Leprechauns, or dropshippers that will let you make money on eBay just by listing auctions and collecting the money. The reason for the exclusion of all of these topics is the same, we try to stay away from mythological beings here, preferring to stay at least somewhat tethered to reality. This doesn’t mean that no one makes money in dropshipping, the dropshipping companies make quite a bit. Their clueless customers are a different story entirely. If you hang around this group for a while, you’ll find this question gets asked at least twice a week, sometimes twice a day. People buy into the "eBay is a way to get rich quick without work" idea, and nothing could be further from the truth. You can make money by selling items on eBay, but unless your great aunt dies and leaves you a pile of merchandise in her will, you have to work for it. The hardest part is finding the merchandise at a price that you can make a profit. Dropshipping companies try to deny that basic reality by claiming much higher values for their merchandise than can ever be reached in an eBay sale, and by ignoring the fact that if an inexpensive item has to be listed a dozen times to sell, the seller will generally lose money overall, even if he makes a profit on the one sale standing alone. eBay as a business just like any other, and in business the path of least resistance is generally the quickest route to failure.

The key secret to long term eBay success is that you simply cannot afford to pay for merchandise. The value of the items MUST have taken a STAGGERING drop in value BEFORE they reach the eBay seller. There is NO WAY that a viable supplier can make a profit on goods face value, the eBay seller make a decent true-costs profit, and the eBay buyer still make a real buy. The numbers simply will not add up. ESPECIALLY if the viable supplier is foisting their wares off on more than one eBay seller. Suitable dropped-value source examples include privitized mil surplus, community college auctions, dot-bomb failures, attic/yardsale/auntabigail/thrift, huge distress situations, certain other auctions, and business bankruptcies.

I’ll be glad to serve as a dropshipper for you. I can send you a list or products at prices only a few cents over wholesale. You can then list them on eBay, absorbing all eBay fee, and collect the money. I promise to ship your items out within 10-14 days of receiving the funds from you, unless I run out of the item. If that happens, I’ll notify you within the same 10-14 day period. In exchange for this service, you must promise to handle any customer complaints, insurance claims (if you purchased optional insurance), or other problems as they arise. As a bonus, all the seller feedbacks that derive from these sales go directly to you (there is no middleman!) Is that a good deal, or what? This arrangement is a guaranteed money maker, for me.
