    Dropshipping on ebay

    Posted 4 Jul 06 2:08 am.

    Hello, Im new to all of this selling on ebay with drop-shipping. One of my potential customers gave me his phone # to talk about the item I'm selling. Since I dont actually have the item on me and dont even know how to use the thing. Im afraid to call. Does anyone have an suggestions to help me out with this and any future transactions. Thanks. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    hi,

    tell him to write his questions in a e-mail, and then you can ask you dropshipping partner.

    After that you can answer to your customer.
    No problem :-)

    It is not simple to sale products, if you don

    Hey

    thanks Nadia for the feedback. Unfortanely, the listings over and no one brought the thing but in the future Ill make certain 2 b more informed about the stuff Im selling.

    I got a membership to a website that has put 2gether a list of separate suppliers I can use who dropship. I deal with them but theyre not too forthcoming: as in giving me their suppliers real company name or url so I can contact them. BUt that websites registered with the bbb with a good rating. they do their job so I can't complain much. Im losing my green :mrgreen: :)

    I have a membership to doba.com. Does anyone on here do business with them. I pretty sure that they are just middlemen. Anyone have a comment? I would appeciate the feedback so if they r bad then I can cancel my membership.

    I tried Doba.com during their 7 day trial, and they are definately middlemen. Their prices are soooo high, not even close to wholesale. Some prices are over retail, and they also charge a dropshipping fee and charge you every month. They are not real dropshippers; they make their money from the fees they charge. Any website that claims to be a dropshipper, and charges a fee per dropship and charges you every month are not real dropshippers are just middlemen. To name a couple of other middlemen like doba; megagoods.com, netdropshipper.com. Don't waist your time with these companies; they're prices are ridiculously too high. You'll hardly make a profit, especially if you plan on selling their items on ebay. My advise is to cancel your membership.

    Doba is NOT a good source at all!

    I tried doba for the 7 day trial and it was NOT a good experience. The Xbox 360 retail price is NOT $600 and they want to sell it for $450 when it really retails for $399.99! A lot of the prices on there area WAY too high and the MONTHLY membership kinda ads up to a lot over a year. I have only used SaleHoo for about 4 days and I have found awesome sources and I know they are secure. Doba is really a HUGE waste of time, there is no way ANYONE can actually make money by buying items above retail price. Look around on Salehoo and do some research. A good tip is to find a site on Salehoo and then go to Alexa.com and look up their site info and go to the ' People who visit this site also visit' list. There you will find other good sources too, just watch out for the fake people out there. Well good luck to you!

    Too bad I didn't back out sooner when I was in the trial period. They called my up and offered me a discount price for one year for $280. :x And I took it. :oops:
    Yeah their prices are high and I will try to cancel my membership asap. I researched a lot of there products and didn't found many profitable products.
    Hey thanks SC and Dreamer 148 and Alexa.com is very useful.

    Ouchie! Thats a lot of money, thats why I usually use a fake phone number on those contact things. Um try to get your money back, because really you don't need doba at all, trust me. Use your time wisely to find sites on Salehoo and use THAT money to buy some good products at wholesale prices ;)
