    Hello,
    My name is Jonathan :)

    Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. Here goes ...

    Ok, put simply - I want to pay you, for your experience. I am an experienced
    webmaster, and I'm mad interested in the Amazon affiliate system, and mainly
    drop-shipping. Instead of spending 30+ hours learning, I want your help.
    We could swap a few emails, or we could meet up using Skype ...

    I want to pick your brains about Amazon, and I'll pay well for your time.

    Here's why I'm interested ...

    Recently, I bought a book on eBay. It was impossible to find locally.
    So, I waited - and it soon arrived. But, to my surprise, it was wrapped in
    cardboard packaging, with Amazon printed on the side. It also contained a
    fairly obvious Amazon packaging slip, detailing where it came from, and who
    it was sent to (ie, me!) ...

    In other words - I bought an book off ebay, that had been sent straight
    from Amazon to me, probably through their drop shipping service. I must
    have paid a premium, and the guy I purchased it from, obviously had some
    sort of drop-shipping setup, and it seemed like an unbelievable idea.

    So, your job is to help me understand the ramifications of this process.
    Can I start selling stuff on eBay, and use Amazon to dropship items directly
    to my customers? Is there software that can help me? Do you have tactics,
    strategies or methods that are known to work?

    I promise I won't compete in your market, and I am happy to pay for your
    time. I'm not sure if I'm stretching, but this seems like one of the very best
    ways to make money on the internet. Full stop. Sell through eBay. Fulfill via
    Amazon. Correct?

    If you're interested, please PM me.

    Cheers,
    Jonathan
    P.S. - Also, I'm not fishing for the content of a new ebook etc. I simple want
    to learn from real professionals with proven results. I will pay you well :)

    "Uncle Leroy" and "Nosleepno" - you guys are pure genius.
    Your replies are basically useless. As are you ...

    I've received a couple of replies so far. I'm prepared to pay
    an hourly rate for your help. If you're not interested, don't
    both voicing your pointless opinions like the muppets above.

    Thanks :)

    as far as your original question went, i think you will find that the fees ebay charges make it very difficult to turn much of a profit using that business model. while i am sure it COULD be done, it would require alot of research and finding a niche of items that ebay isn't already saturated with at a lower price.
