Bobafanu,

You might try just using the Google Keyword Tool or a similar program to see what trends there are. For example you could just type the word buy into it and see how many different related searches with that term pop up.

You could also use Google trends to compare product related keywords or words users might type in to find or buy these products,

Google Trends

Hope that helps,

Shawn

I have experience with some drop shippers but they aren't good. None of them are very good, simply because it takes them 700 years to find a product and half of it is out of stock.

What you might wanna do is check out liquidation.com and see some hot wholesale deals, then go to eBay and see how that product sells by pieces and do the math. Keep in mind that eBay isn't really a good place to make money on because of the obnoxious eBay/PayPal fees (unless you you're a company that has connections such as buy.com)

From my experience, the best selling products are clothes and video games

Hope that helps.

Difficult with dropshippers also. Please I need help if you can. PM me please.

Kindest regards

One product can be good for me and bad for you. eBay pulse just show super hot items and you will not make money selling something really popular. There are many products that can be sold with huge profit but they never will be published on eBay pulse.

You can check this video I created and learn more how to find good products fast:

The Easiest Way To Find Lots Of Products To Resell On eBay 2 - YouTube

The simple challenge is finding something you can buy cheaply that consistently sells for more on eBay.. pretty challenging.

Everyone who sells on eBay has the same problem. The prices are so low it is very hard to compete. I was able to find a local supplier and pick up my orders at the manufacture's office. This helped me with pricing,

I hope you find what you are looking for.

I am NOT an affiliate for this product, but I do know some of my IM buddies are having great success with a system called, DS Domination. This is a training ground with tools for exactly what you are talking about. All the best.

ebay just opened a new service where they do all the work and you get 70% of the sale.

on the intro page of that service the hot trends are listed.

stuff like old electronics and game consoles, clothing and asseccories, furniture, collectibles, old jewelry sell well. if you like to go to flee markets there you go. go to free areas online in classifieds, ect you'd be surprised about people giving stuff away.. Come and get it and you can have it. Stuff like that sells on ebay. Storage places let you bid for items. Search ebay use advanced search for items ending low you can relist again with better keywords and correct catagory. Do some misspelled item searches too these items usually end low.

A friend of mine runs a whole business on Ebay drop shipping. She has explained it to me numerous times and it sounds overwhelming to me (keeping track of all the fees, profits, stock of item, lists of suppliers etc). She's quite good with numbers, but she has thousands of products listed on Ebay! It's quite amazing.

I prefer to buy my products up front. I send them to Amazon FBA (fulfillment by Amazon). This is similar to drop shipping in that I don't touch (or usually even see) most of my products. The difference is that it requires an up front investment, but the payoff is BIG profits (as opposed to tiny drop shipping profits) and not being surprised by "running out of stock" (since I control this)

If you're willing to make an investment up front, I would recommend this method. The investment can really be as small as $100-$500. Hope this helps!

Seeds. Flower & vegetable seeds. Non-gmo. They're almost perfect. They're light, easy and cheap to ship and in demand. You can buy them by the pound and sell small quantities. Amazing profit potential. You might spend a day or two pre-counting and sorting your orders. Then when you make a sale you just reach for it, place it in an envelope and off it goes.

The only drawback is that you'll have lots of small dollar sales selling to the everyday consumer market. Still, the markup is amazing. It would be wise to offer some bulk along with the retail offers.

If you want to be one of the go-to sellers in the seed category produce a little bonus ebook about cultivating, best times to grow, soil, watering, the whole Farmer John gig. Have a nice cover made and put the pic in your auction. Have the ebook hosted online and send the URL to the buyer with the order. Easy peasy...

I use amazon for dropshipping.
I would check out the major search engines: Google, Yahoo!, Bing

travlinguy has a good point I have bought several seeds from Ebay as there are some unique plants Etc.One for example was mammoth sunflowers,bought more as conversation piece.Bloody things grew 12 feet and the heads were 16 inches across.
Now find something unique like that they'll sell out.Just my take as like he said can be mailed in regular envelope.

A couple of ideas - look up Skip McGrath's website. He is an experienced eBay and Amazon seller. He has lots of useful (mostly free) info on his site.

Also you may want to look into Amazon FBA selling. The prices are highr than on eBay. In fact I regularly buy items on eBay and than turn around and sell it on Amazon for a decent profit.

DS Domination is the one of the best systems out there and I have been dropshipping for years. I am a little upset though, because they teach many of the techniques that I have been using for years. DS Domination is by invite only at the moment, you can join our team.

If they are hot selling there's lots of competition slashing down each other's profits down to zero. Seek upcoming products popularised in countries that have a history of spilling popularity internationally.

Low margins generally mean high cost of labor.

Something I'd rather NOT do. No matter how much I steer people away from the dropshipping model, they still bang at my door begging me: "Yeah, but how do I DROPSHIP!"

Eventually, people will wonder: "Well, how can I increase my profits on these items?" My only consolation is that people who truly want to be successful will start somewhere, and end up selling items will astronomically high margins.

Agree 100% ImportExport

I actually just started (within the last few months) offering a reseller program with one of my stores here in the U.S. (I do not ship internationally).
I have not really promoted it much, because I do not want too many people competing with each other (making it hard to sell).
Most of the products I sell have very little competition on ebay (since I do not sell there), and you should be able to make anywhere from 20%-40%.

IM me if you would like more information.

ok well.. though... see the thing about ebay/amazon with having a small quantity of a product is that unless you have a small quantity of a lot of products which then adds up, its hard to get your listening noticed. it seems to me that you have to have a lot of listening to get placed decently in the listings. Then getting stuck with a product you can't sell or return is painful.

is he allowed to make offers like that on this forum?
