How I make Great money with Ebay and Amazon

**Cybella28** · 01-30-2011, 12:49 AM

I know this is not new or groundbreaking but I am making a few hundred extra dollars per week selling on ebay and using amazon as my dropshipper. I will not reveal my niche because its not saturated but it does and can work with any niche.

I opened up an ebay store and then listed items I found on amazon that I could sell for a profit. When someone buys an item I go over to amazon and order it. I use the gift option so that the receipt does not show up in the box.

I only ship items that are eligible for amazon free shipping or amazon Prime.

In the gift options I attach a note saying thanks for buying my ebay auction and let them know that amazon handles my shipping and inventory. This makes it so there is not any questions as to why they get a box from amazon.

Note this works best on products sold directly through amazon.

Take into consideration that you have to allow for enough profit to cover paypal and ebay fees. I have been selling a few things that sell on amazon for 10 bucks that I am reselling on ebay for close to 30. Thats a nice little profit.

With Christmas around the corner offer people the option to have their items gift-wrapped and then include the cost in the auction.

As far as a niche avoid using over saturated ones like cell phones and most electronics because ebay / paypal watches those sales due to replicas and phony items.

I prefer to speciallize in a niche that I know a great deal about. Any niche can be profitable if you do the work and research.

It also only helps to ship to the lower 48 us states. I do not know if this method would work for people outside the US as I am based in the us.

Anyhow thats what I have been doing. Always Diversify your income streams.

but what happens if YOU go to order the product and its not in stock? You still have to pay all the fees!!

someone has already made a WSO report on this and selling it, he called it
something like "eBay-Amazon Arbitrage"

so it works huh ? I was a bit skeptical when first reading the report, as people
commented that even author has difficulty to spot on the right Amazon's product
to sell on ebay when he demonstrated how "simple" the process is, on his tutorial video

try checking the report on our Freebies

Yeah it works. I read about the method a couple months ago on another forum. Last night I sold a $60 item on Ebay for $99 bucks. I make several sales almost daily.

I contacted you via pm per your request.

I'm not in the US, will it work for me?

That normally isn't a problem for me because if it is out of stock on Amazon I can find it elsewhere. I markup my ebay prices enough to allow for that type of thing. I also include a 2 - 3 day handling time although I have never had any problems.
