Do you want to start selling products through dropshipping but don’t want to run your own website? Sell your products through eBay instead!
eBay is a gigantic online platform that already has over 150 million active users, which means you don’t have to spend hours of your time designing a website and trying to get visitors. You just have to make an eBay account, decide what you want to sell, find a supplier, and list your products.
Here’s a breakdown of how to sell dropshipping products on eBay:
- Create an eBay account
You can choose to open either a personal or a business account with eBay. If you operate your dropshipping business under an LLC, you should open a business eBay account. You will need to enter your business credentials, including your VAT ID, so make sure you have that handy.
- Choose the type of product that you want to sell
You can choose to sell practically anything on eBay, but the key to a successful dropshipping business is to sell what people will buy. The best-selling products on eBay are as follows:
- Cell phones and accessories
- IT products (computers, laptops, and tablets)
- Fashion
- Beauty products
- Home and garden
- Video games
- Crafts
- Find a supplier
Once you’ve decided what types of products you want to sell on eBay, you need to find a supplier that will help you stock your online store. There are many dropshipping suppliers in China, but it’s not always easy to find a reliable supplier.
Don’t waste any time testing out suppliers to find a product that you’d be proud to sell! Obor Desk is here to provide you with excellent dropshipping services – including English- and French-proficient Business Success Managers, multiple shipping channels, free warehouse storage, and a dedicated logistics team.
- Create product listings
There are two ways to sell products on eBay:
- Buy It Now – Sell items at a fixed price, set by you (best for new items)
- Online Auction – Set a base price and sell the item to the highest bidder (best for vintage items or antiques, one-of-a-kind items, and collectibles)
If you are selling products as a dropshipping business, it’s recommended to open your own eBay Store. This will help you have a strong brand identity, which is very important when selling white-label products. Please note that there are fees for running eBay stores.
Once you have your store all set up, you will create listings with the following information:
- Title and subtitle
- Photos
- Product description
- Shipping information
- Payment information
- Buyer rights
