Ebay Listing
Drop Shipping with DS Domination is a simple process. The image below shows you how it works:
You are basically learning how to copy products from websites like Amazon, Walmart, Overstock and many others, and pasting it onto Ebay and making a profit!
When the item sells, you go back to the website you sourced it from and ship it to the customer. ...and what's better is that you will be using the customer's money to do it!
First Steps Before You Start Listing
- Get a notebook and pen. You'll need to take notes while you do your training.
- Make sure you write down all of your usernames and passwords.
- Go to your DS Domination back office and watch all of your PRO videos. Please Don't start listing until you have watched all of your videos. This is critical. I know you're ready but preparation is key. The more you know, the better you will do.
- Go to your Unit of Prosperity back office and go through all the steps to get additional Ebay training.
- Download the Ebay app on your phone so that when you get a sale you can be notified through your phone as well as a notification from email. You'll love hearing your phone go Cha-Ching! throughout the day!
Once you complete your training, you're ready to begin listing.
Confused or Anxious?
- Go back and look at the first seven (7) videos in your PRO Training
- Watch a Live Training (Recorded or Live Webinar)
The more you review, your confidence with build, the less anxiety you will feel about posting your first item.
Once you get the hang of it, you'll be posting more and more everyday.
Q: How Much Should You Be Listing On Ebay Each Day?
As much as you can! Here's the numbers if you need them:
- If you are doing this full-time (and not an affiliate) - Go for it and post as many as you can each day!
- If you are part-time (or an affiliate), 5 to 8 listings per day is a good place to start.
Set Up Your Filing System
You will also need to set up a Filing System so that you can manage your orders.
Get five (5) file folders and label them:
- Open Orders
- Shipped Orders
- Delivered/Completed Orders
- Returns
- Cancelled Orders
Q: There is a problem with the product for a customer and I can no longer fulfill it. What should I do now?
There can be many different issues with fulfilling a product and all of them have different solutions:1. If the product is no longer available or has risen in price compared to when you listed it, you should first attempt to find the product at a cheaper price at a different supplier. If there is no possible way to acquire the product, you should let your buyer know of this as politely as possible. Reference the video in Pro section going over 'Problems' for some examples on how to respond.
2. Recall/issues with a product. In some rare cases you might find that the product that was earlier available is now not available due to Amazon investigation. In such a case, you should let the buyer know that the product is currently under investigation due to some past complaints and you wouldn't feel right shipping them the product knowing there are potential issues with it. Issue a refund at the same time and more than likely you will receive a positive feedback as well :)
3. In the event that the price on a product has gone up, you should still consider getting it to your customer, even if you make very little or no profit to make sure you receive positive feedback. You can include a message to the buyer to the effect that "Looks you got it just in time since the price has gone up ;) " Simple personal touches like this lend to good feedback :)

No Gift Option and The Customer Inquires About the Price of the Item:
We use a variety of suppliers for acquiring our goods. Sometimes we have to use alternative vendors when our warehouse is out of a product when a buyer places an order (so we don't have to cancel an order). Sometimes we find it for less money; but in many cases we actually pay more. Our prices also are calculated to accommodate for the fees we pay eBay and Paypal for processing orders. When we use a third party for our shipping we also have to pay sales tax in many cases (we unlike others don't charge the consumer). We have a variety costs involved in many aspects of this business. Like many sellers on eBay, we operate as a "business" and make money by acquiring products in bulk and then reselling them (no different than a Walmart or a Target) on a variety of sites. And in this type of business, there are risks of not selling items. I'm sure you can find this item being sold on eBay for more than you paid for. Hopes this clarify the issue. Enjoy your product"

Finding that your listings are selling slow? Here are a few tweaks to help you...
Review this video: Here's titling video https://vimeo.com/86170299
Find Great Keywords: tweak your titles by searching for the name of your item using the Google Keyword Planner to see what people are actually searching for online. Use more than one picture of your item and when you save them on your computer save as the main keywords that you found. Use the keywords in the description of your item.
Summertime Tip: Are you stumped on what to list? List things that people use in the summer. Pools, pool equipment, patio furniture, luggage, water fountains, garden accessories, yard equipment, etc. Make sure you use your title builder and use the Google Keyword Planner to get the best titles out there. You also want to make sure you add as many pictures as you can. Go to Google images and put the Amazon title in and find pictures. Then scramble them with our DSD image scrambler to make them your own.
Use Paint instead of the photo scrambler in the backoffice - I find this much easier and your image will be optimized to be found on Google. Open your picture in paint. Resize the horizontal to about 500 to 560 pixels the vertical will update automatically and save images as the keywords that you found with google keyword planner.
