Growing Your eBay Business with Dropshipping

Growing Your eBay Business with Dropshipping

Merchants of eBay know what goes on behind the scenes is not as easy as it looks. While the platform is easy for selling online, bulk of the work goes into choosing the right inventory, creating the listing and finally order fulfillment. If a merchant wanted to grow his eBay business, there are two things he or she would need to do. First, find a good supplier to cater to this growth. Second, get more manpower to support the back-end process that comes with it.

Now, there's a better option for eBay merchants. Dropshippers for eBay help streamline most of the processes involved in selling in this channel. Like other eBay suppliers, dropshipping companies offer a wide variety of products to choose from. The merchant needs to connect with a dropshipper to select the inventory they want to list. Unlike traditional eBay suppliers however, there's no need to order the products upfront and to wait for it to arrive in their own warehouse.

Ebay merchants can simply use data feeds or do the listings themselves of the products even if they are not yet on-hand. All the merchant has to do is to get the items he or she wants to sell from the virtual catalogue and list these directly. That's a huge cost-saving for the merchant for shipping and manpower allocation for warehouse and inventory keeping. Additionally, the merchant can also use the capital for other areas of operations instead of using these to pre-purchase items that may not even sell.

Once a winning bidder emerges or a buyer clicks on the "Buy It Now" button, all the eBay merchant needs to do is to process the transaction as usual. That means communicating with the buyer or winning bidder and collecting the payment for the items sold.

Then, the eBay merchant needs to contact the dropshipping company to pay for the item and have it sent to the end-customer directly. It's that simple. With this simplified process, life then becomes much easier for the eBay seller. The only real investment they have to make to grow their business is time. Time to select products that sell and time to create better listings. Dropshipping companies also work like other eBay suppliers. They can provide you with images of the product as well as specifications and descriptions to use as base for your own listing content.

The beauty about using dropshippers for eBay is that the end-customer would never know the difference. We do suggest that you thoroughly test and review the companies you work with as dropshipping suppliers for eBay. Find out more about the quality of their products as well as the time it takes to deliver on an order. That way, you're not risking any unhappy customers when you do start selling products sourced from dropshipping.

These items will be labeled as bought from the eBay merchant and will not have any indication that it came from a dropshipper. So having the items delivered on time, as promised and in good quality will mean more good business for the eBay merchant.
