Opinions & experiences with outsourcing Dropshipping?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if any Warriors here have outsourced their dropshipping business with a full time Virtual Assistant (VA)?

Seeing as it's so cumbersome to research, list and keep track of things, I am considering using my current VA to handle as much as possible.

I had a question using the example of an Amazon > Ebay model:

How much of the process can you oursource considering you need to manually purchase things on your credit card with Amazon - it's probably unlikely I would offload such sensitive info to my VA? (unless their is a way around this I don't know of?)

I can probably get her to handle all the ebay listings since that doesn't require any form of payment. I just wanted to also offload the task of organizing the product purchase > shipping of the product to the buyer.

Thoughts/experiences?

    Just spitballing here, but perhaps you could think about using something like a virtual credit card like this: https://www.entropay.com/

    You'd still have to give the VA the details of the virtual card, but you could handle funding it and could limit your exposure.

    With some accounts you could pre-load your credit card on the site with your first purchase, and have the VA handle every transaction thereafter with the saved CC. Amazon is still an issue however, because I believe you need to re-enter the CC details every time you send to a different shipping address.

    Don't do it my friend unless there in office & you can train them.
    Drop-shipping is just as tough as running a reseller biz.
    Requires a full overview if you know what I mean
