Have you heard about dropshipping. This what most ebay powersellers use. [PowerSellers rank among the most successful sellers on eBay in terms of sales and customer satisfaction].

Dropshipping is a system where a wholesaler receives customer orders and shipment details from sellers. The ordered items are then shipped by the wholesaler to the customer. This means that the goods are not stocked by the seller. The retailer is charged by the wholesaler. The retailers profit is the difference between the wholesale and retail price. In simple words:

A dropship distributor is a wholesale company that will ship one product at a time directly to your customer. You don’t pay up front for inventory. In fact, you don’t pay for an item unless it sells. You don’t stock or ship merchandise. It’s all done for you by the dropshipper. You simply place an ad for selling on eBay or your website, then take orders. When someone buys the product at your auction they pay you for the product. You pay the dropshipper and they ship the product to your customer under your name! You pay the cost of the item and keep all the profit for yourself! If the item costs you and you sell it for , you’ve made 20 Dollars.
