How To Make Money Dropshipping Items from China On Ebay
69Dropshipping Electronics from China using Wholesalers
In my previous post about making money from eBay I talked about how you could make money on eBay by simply importing DVD's from the USA or Canada and selling them in the UK for a profit. The great thing about that post was that even if you were in the United States or Canada you could still sell the items on eBay UK and make more of a profit.
This post is for people all over the world, whether they are in the UK, USA, Canada, or Australia. This method of making money from eBay involves importing items from China to resell to customers in the UK.
Importing iPods, iPhones, iTouches, mp3 and mp4 players
If you have ever searched for any electronic item on eBay you may have seen alot of unbranded items that look a lot like the original. You may have seen all the phones that look like iPhones but are not actually iPhones. These are people that are buying these items from a supplier in either China or Hong Kong and reselling them for a profit.
If you are able to sell 10 of these a day at a $10 margin you make over $100 a day. From personal experience you can sell alot more than 10 a day and you can also make a better margin than $10.
Now that we know what types of products that we are selling it's time to decide where to get the products from.
The best site that I have used for finding wholesalers is dhgate, my advice is simple. Find someone with good references, someone that understands the product, understands what dropshipping is, and also is willing to use escrow. Always use the system. The system works as money is only released when you have recieved the products. so you are safe.
This system is great because alls you really have to do is act as a buffer between the customer and the supplier, as long as you let the customer know that the product will be with them after 10 business days they should be fine.
Always ask your supplier what his lead time is before getting the item shipped over as it will ensure that you know what to tell your customers.
if you have any more questions just ask them in the comments and I should be able to answer them.

Very informative article. I was searching for the exact title. You made it sounds so simple and convincing. However, i have a question though. How about if i don't live in China the location of my ebay account would show it, so when the item actually arrived at customer's door. Wouldn't my customer freak out about the difference of my actual location and shipping location? Thanks
