Many people want to work from home and selling products on eBay is one of the easiest choices that are logical and easy to realize. However, nobody wants to pile up products in their backyard or livingroom. This is where dropshipping companies come in.



When you use a drop shipping company they will store the items in their own warehouse and ship them to your customers whenever your tell them so.

All you have to do is set up your auction, and sell the product. You then pass the customer's information on to the drop shipping company. The drop shipper does the rest, and they will even use your company information, as well as your company logo if you have provided it to them.

The dropshipping company will label and ship the product without you getting involved. Your customer will have the impression that you mailed the product yourself.

It is a good idea to check several different dropshipping providers when you start out. The fees and the level of automation differ from company to company.

In the beginning you might have to deposit a certain amount. This is because drop shippers want to avoid not getting paid. Normally you will pay by credit card.

When setting up your auction you will have to make sure that your reserve price is higher than the price you have to pay to the dropshipper.

You should aim for a profit of at least 20%. Anything below that is usually not enough to make up for returns and the occasional fraud that will occur. Do some research before you select a product and observe what others are charging for similar products.

You don't risk anything by selling products from dropshippers. This is because you usually pay the dropshipper after you get paid by your customers. It is the ideal business to start with if you still have a regular day job.
