Before this post is over I think you will be as excited as I was to learn about a different selling venue…Amazon.com. Don’t get me wrong, who does not know about Amazon? There are plenty of us out there who are very familiar with Ebay and ready to move our business to the next level. I have been selling on Ebay for years constantly frustrated by policy changes imposed by the auction giant.

Well, listen up…..If you have a few minutes today I encourage you to watch four  jam-packed, content-rich videos in the genre of ‘Selling on Amazon’ and ‘Fulfillment by Amazon.’

I just finished watching them, and let me tell you, there is some powerful information there. HA… I’m even planning to be a seller on Amazon!

The first 2 videos are an introduction to Selling on Amazon:

AN INTRODUCTION TO SELLING ON AMAZON

SELLING ON AMAZON: BEST PRACTICES

The second two videos are more for the seller who is ready to take business beyond dropshipping. They have already worked out what is selling well, and are ready to increase their profits by ordering from their Suppliers in large or light bulk quantities. They still don’t want the hassle of holding inventory and managing staff, but are ready to take their business to the next level. They need a fulfillment center; and Fulfillment by Amazon can be the solution they are looking for.

The next 2 videos will answer:

• HOW fulfillment services works
• WHEN fulfillment services are right for you
• What best practices will help you achieve the maximum
  benefits of fulfillment services

PICK, PACK & SHIP

FULFILLMENT BEST PRACTICES

I watched all four videos and was so completely blown away with all the great information that I wanted to make sure to get this to you as soon as possible!

Can you make money selling merchandise on ebay that you do not own? It is called dropshipping and there are tons of people listing items right now on ebay who are selling, collecting the money and then having merchandise shipped direct to their ebay buyers. Can you be successful doing this?

Here we have a Powerseller on ebay who is dropshipping merchandise from a wholesale liquidator. This seller has listed a wholesale lot of shelf pull cosmetics with the following title:

500 PC New Revlon and Almay Cosmetics - Wholesale Makeup

The ebay seller has listed a “Buy it Now” price of $717.00 with a flat shipping fee $40.00

This seller is listing merchandise found at Via Trading where his cost is .99 per unit or $495.00 for the case of 500 pieces. Gross profit from this auction would then be $717.00 (BIN price) - $625.00 (Sellers Cost) = $222.00

You also need to take into consideration the fees Ebay would charge for this auction:

Ebay Listing Fee $4.00 (Item over $500) + Final Value Fee of $26.41 = $30.41

$222.00 (Gross profit) – $30.41 (Ebay Fees ) = $191.59 to the Ebay seller

This seller would have Paypal fees as well so the $191.59 is not the final net profit, but still represents a nice transaction for the ebay seller who does not have to warehouse inventory or pack and ship items out.

This particular ebay seller simply lists merchandise found at Via Trading on ebay making sure enough markup is added. There are hundreds of thousands of ebay sellers dropshipping merchandise from many wholesalers….
