Working with Wholesale Companies in Your eBay Business

There are many wholesale companies selling goods on eBay. In fact recently there were over 37,000 items for sale by wholesalers on eBay. Everything from watches to batteries and propane tanks can be purchased from companies advertising wholesale prices. Just about every product you can imagine is available by wholesalers for sale on eBay.

A wholesale dropshipper will arrange for the item you have sold to be shipped from the dropshipper’s warehouse directly to your customer. You do not need to have an inventory or be concerned with shipping of your items that you have sold on eBay as a wholesaler.

All you need to do is focus on sales and ensuring that items sell at the levels you are expecting. You can sell at fixed prices using Buy It Now options or place a reserve price on your items

How the Dropshipping Process Works

The process works as follows. You will need to make arrangements with a dropshipper to sell their products. When you list your dropshippers products online through eBay, you can use auction templates and also some of the eBay auction tools to assist you in listing and managing your sales.

As you sell your advertised wholesale products, you transfer the shipping information to the drop shipper and they will make arrangements to send the item to your customer. You retain a percent of the profits.

Wholesale distributors using dropshippers can focus on selling their products and processing sales, instead of being concerned about inventory etc. If you are going to look at a dropship arrangement, we suggest you review some of the help pages on eBay and also thoroughly review all of the existing proposals on eBay.

As mentioned earlier there are over 37000 items for sale by wholesalers on eBay, so the competition is fierce when you sell wholesale items in eBay online auctions.
