    My question is, if I'm dropshipping from any other markets place to eBay, which label will be on the goods my customers order from eBay?
    Example : I'm a customer I order a product from eBay but when I got the goods the label on it is AliExpress!!!

    • @PaulJLipsky

      I don’t dropship from companies based in China. It takes too long for customers to get their items. Instead, I dropship from suppliers based here in the United States.

    I have an ebay account that I built up when I was doing re-selling. I have 100% positive feedback. over 1200 feedback scores. Have had my account since 2008. Have a selling limit of $600,000. I am trying to do dropshipping from overstock. I have created a basic store. I am focusing only on home goods. I am trying to avoid sending out red flags by not using the brand name of the items, but I wonder if that could discourage people from buying. Kind of stumped at this point. I have only 13 items listed so far, high ticket, large furniture pieces. 1 watcher so far. Just not sure if I should include the brand name of items. Can someone please advise?

      I wouldn't risk getting that account banned, better being safe. Also as a recommendation, you could use AutoDS software, it will tell you automatically if you're using VETO words that could get you flag.

    You still have to market so your listings come up on said marketplaces. That's an easy route but still to come up in Amazon searches over the Amazon Choice and Prime listings, well thats a lot of competition. And as we all know there's competition no matter what but I'd rather take the time and money to promote my own site aside from the Amazon etc. If you shop on amazon you know that there's tons of options but the cheapest, fastest option is always the Amazon option. All you do by posting on a marketplace is compete with said marketplace.

    Im having difficulties with finding the tracking number. Do you have to print the postage label of the item you're selling to get the tracking number. Also this is the first time I've ever done selling on eBay and I'm not sure if there's a point in paying extra to print postage label if I'm drop shipping the item from amazon to eBay.

    2. In the shipping settings on Ebay, what are your recommended settings?

    Hey Paul eBay bans me every time why is that happening?????

    • @PaulJLipsky
      @PaulJLipsky  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In the rare case that you’ve been suspended on eBay, eBay won’t let you open a new account. If you try to open a new account, eBay will know it’s you and will suspend the new account. eBay will link your new account to your suspended one using things like your name, address, phone number, IP address, etc. So if you do get suspended and want to keep selling on eBay, you need to create a stealth account. A stealth account is basically an account that uses all new information (new name, address, IP address, etc).

      Hey there! That's a great question and it is causing a lot of problems for some dropshippers. I do have a solution to this problem inside both my eBay and Facebook Marketplace courses. Unfortunately if I reveal the solution publicly, it won't work any longer and that wouldn't be fair to my paying students. So if you are a student, check out the answer in my course!
