Is dropshipping allowed on eBay?
Yes, with one important condition. eBay allows dropshipping when your orders are fulfilled by a wholesale supplier or manufacturer. It does not allow listing an item and then buying it from another retailer or marketplace to ship to your buyer. We only build and manage the wholesale supplier model.
What is the difference between wholesale dropshipping and retail arbitrage?
With wholesale dropshipping you agree with a supplier, before listing, which products you can sell and how they will ship them. With retail arbitrage, a seller buys the item from a store such as Amazon or Walmart only after it sells on eBay. The first is allowed on eBay; the second is not.
Can you find wholesale suppliers for me?
Yes. We research and shortlist wholesale suppliers and manufacturers that offer dropshipping in your niche, and check stock data, shipping times and return terms. You make the final choice and sign the supplier agreement.
Do I need a business account on eBay?
Many dropshippers use an eBay business account because it suits ongoing selling, but requirements depend on your country and situation. We can explain the options; for tax and legal questions you should speak to a local adviser.
How much money do I need to start?
You do not buy stock upfront, but you will need funds to pay your supplier for orders, eBay fees, any promoted listing costs and our service fee. We will help you plan a realistic budget before you begin.
Who handles returns and damaged items?
As the eBay seller, you are responsible to the buyer. We coordinate returns, replacements and refunds between the buyer and your supplier according to your return policy and the supplier's terms.
Can you manage my existing dropshipping store?
Yes. We can audit your current store, move away from any non-compliant sourcing, improve your listings and take over daily order and customer management.
Can you guarantee profits?
No. Profit depends on products, suppliers, pricing and market demand. What we do is calculate every price carefully, choose products with proven demand and run the store professionally to give you the best possible chance.
Which eBay marketplaces do you work with?
We work with sellers on eBay UK, eBay US, eBay Australia and other eBay sites, matching spelling, measurements and buyer language to each marketplace.
