Amazon or ebay inner dropshipping - that is relisting cheaper products to a little higher priced ones on the same market sites - is not a good way to make money?

    It's bottom feeding, in my opinion. Some people claim to make it work, so more power to them!

    It could be, but I have never been able to make it work; however I have done this and made some money off of it, just not the type of money some other people claim to make using this method.

    In my opinion the best thing to probably do to make money in dropshipping is to:
    1. do some research on a product you want to sell to see if there is a significant enough demand,
    2. Find a reliable dropshipper
    3. Build a site (woocommerce, shopify, or whatever you desire)
    4. Promote Promote Promote.

    Cheers

    You'd do better using real suppliers for better margins. I do wholesale and drop shipping and make darn good money!

      You'd do best by buying direct from real manufacturers. I agree with violet0176 who thinks the idea of "inner dropshipping" is bottom feeding.

      Have a look at this thread: Importing from China? Where do you rank in the product sourcing food chain?

      Most people who take up dropshipping believe the myth that you have to buy large quantities to import direct from manufacturers. I have taught a large number who have started off with a very small amount of cash.

    I use a company as a dropshipper.
    They have all the product,they answer the questions asap.
    I use Vernetro.com and they sell motorcycle gear.
    I made some profit.
    Now, choose your own niche

    I'd look at it as a way to get a feel for the process and then you can find some distributors or private wholesalers willing to dropship for you(easier said than done but if it was too easy then it wouldn't be worth it).Depending on what you're looking for you may even be able to get started the right way right away.Whatever you do though make sure you have either an ebay calculator or amazon calculator bookmarked so you'll know how to properly mark up the items regardless of where you're getting it from.

    Amazon to ebay drop shipping is a very decent e-commerce strategy as long as you know what your doing.

    Ive been running mine for over a year now, and consistently get more than 100 sales every day.

    The great thing is, most of it is automated.

    Id love to help anyone who's interested.

    I've been running an E-commerce store on Ebay for a while now and have gained Top rated Power-seller status.

    I can tell you it certainly does work as long as you piece the entire puzzle together, something that most people don't do, hence why its got a bad reputation.
