Drop shipping is the shipping of merchandise from a supplier directly to a retailer's customer. This means that the retailer can ship to their customers directly from the suppliers' warehouses. This process minimizes risk because the retailer does not need to buy the product until it has sold. Suppliers take care of the warehousing, packaging, and shipping of products, saving you a great deal of money.
For the eBay seller who wishes to use the services of an online dropshipper (like Doba) the drop shipping process is the following:
- Find products to sell from Doba's Product Catalog.
- List those products on eBay (use the handy descriptions and images on the Doba site).
- After the product sells, collect the money from the buyer.
- Place the product order online through Doba after receiving payment from the eBay buyer.
- Voila! The product is shipped directly and promptly to the customer. Everyone is happy!
Note: The difference between the eBay price you sell for, and your eBay fees and product costs, is your PROFIT to keep. This can be quite substantial, if you find a good and reliable online dropshipper, like Doba.
