    I have a few questions, hopefully some kind soul will answer.

    #1 to jmbinfo: The reason I am hesitant to buy your ebook is because I don't understand why someone who earns a minimum of $300/day (and more if you work harder) would take time out to write and sell a $15 ebook just to try to make a few hundred more bucks over time? If you were making that much money wouldn't you just put that effort into making a little more on ebay?

    #2 dropshipping, I am a super noob and just heard of that today. Am I wrong, or does that mean you are selling items for X Company, and if you sell the items for more money than they list on their website you profit the difference?

    my experience daily income from ebay is not impossible but be prepared to have some left over stocks which can make or break your business. unless you are selling digital items

    I can't say much as I haven't tried it but the affiliate network is meant to be promising if used well enough. I'm thinking of taking up eBay marketing too though. The best advice I'd give is use the affiliate program.

    hello, i have been selling on eBay only twice. It is really stressful. If you got a bad buyer, they will threaten you on leaving a negative feedback. Well, i have experienced twice that incident. They will asked for a refund in order to get the products for free too. If you ever stumble on a job on Freelancer.com or any freelance website, please beware as i have been scammed by my employer. He sends the item by cheap mail and when the item lost on the shipping, i am the one who's been paying for the item back to the buyer. He just send me a cheap proof of cheap shipping receipt, he blocked me on Skype and disappeared. PLEASE be careful everyone! It's better for you to use a drop shipping from drop shipping website rather than selling for others. Never believe on those high commission as you might be paying for the full price of the items next.

    Have some experience with eBay although have moved on to other sources of income for now. Basically, once you have settled on a product using ebays own products, pulse etc, and 3rd party research products, search for reputable drop shippers (I'd recommend at least two drop shippers per product. Trust me it's a "life saving" strategy). This allows you to focus on selling the product and customer support, pre and post sale. The key to this is definitely the choice of drop shipper. I've had great and ugly experiences. The bad experiences can do you in with respect to feedback issues, cc chargebacks and ebay's never ending interruptions. The million dollar question is ... How do you settle on drop shippers? Either you give in to intermediaries like DOBRA and World Wide Brands for example or you must invest many hours of research. Looking for drop shippers will introduce you to all manner of charlatans but with persistence you will find reliable businesses with high quality products. Get ready for many long nights at the Google search page. When you find a company you feel fits your needs, I'd suggest ordering the product so that you can experience exactly what your customers will experience. Then and only then would I sign up and commit to selling the product.

    So much more to discuss but so little time. Good luck!

    You are right. I have use Salehoo.com and i must say they have a very good support. They replied to all my questions on the forum. You can find widely categories of supplier, wholesaler, and dropshipper there. Doba is not a good choice as i have read some feedback about them. I recommend World Wide Brands too as i have never seen any negative feedback about them. It's better to lost medium investment of Salehoo ($67/year) or World Wide Brands ($200++ for lifetime fee) than losing your money and also having problems of negative feedback on eBay and dealing with eBay disputes too. I know how it feels and i learn from mistakes and hopefully everybody never do the same mistakes like i did.

    I used have a reasonable income from eBay selling baby products, but it's getting harder as some sellers lower the prices that sometimes after all the fees and taxes, there is no profit left.

    Hi!

    Anybody interested in making about 400-800$/month with eBay send me a PM.
    I am looking for a few more partners to sell my products.
    I am looking for people who have a business account because these accounts can sell in multiple countries. I am only interested in private accounts if you are from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands or Belgium.

    You can take eBay as full time income because eBay is a store where you can sale variety of product by using different technique. Its is an online market where you can find many buyers. Through eBay you not only earn by selling but also by promoting yours and other sellers product. Using affiate program you can earn commissions by sending traffic to your own listings as well as to other seller's listings
    on every purchase and also on each click that is directed to an eBay site.
