A crash course in having your Ebay merchandise drop shipped

Having your ebay products drop shipped sounds like a great idea
on the surface but the real question is; can you drop ship ebay
goods and realistically count on them to arrive to your buyer on
time, having the correct product, and in one piece? Most often
the answer is yes, you can.

Having a 3rd party company drop ship ebay merchandise for you
ideally works like this: Once you find a distributor to drop
ship ebay goods for you then you place those products online in
your ebay auction with a full description and a photo caption to
go with it. 

When your customer purchases this product and the payment is
processed, you send the order to your distributor. The
distributor in turn will always drop ship ebay merchandise to
your customers. What makes it "drop-shipping" is that the
package should always show that you were the actual shipper with
the return label your business name and information without you
actually having shipped it out.

If your distributor will drop ship ebay products for you and it
all goes smoothly then this practice is a win win for everyone.
You do not have to stock ebay inventory and your distributor has
no worries of the retail sales end of things.

On the other hand, there are definitely stories of unreliable
distributors that will offer to drop ship ebay products for you
that you will want to stay clear from. You customer does not
care who messes up a job if your distributor is supposed to drop
ship ebay products to them and the product never arrives or
comes damaged. Can you blame them? No way. If you had ordered a
product from Ebay and the product never arrived then the owner
of the auction would be to blame, regardless if that person
claimed to have distributors drop ship ebay merchandise for them.

The best way to test new distributor is to place an order and
have it shipped to a friend or family member so you can see how
the shipping procedure goes. You will find out if they will drop
ship ebay products for you on time and with the correct
labeling. Good luck!
