So let's begin with the list for those of you who don't know I'm in the AutoDS blog page. Let's just head over to autods.com slash blog and that is where you're going to see all of these articles and as you can see here we also have videos embedded inside the articles so if you're the type who likes to watch just click on play and watch Nilly's recording on the top 10 Christmas products. She is our social media manager and if you're the type who likes to read well that's what you have this blog article for. Here on the left side you also have post content so you can just click on any part to get to it really really quick but I'm going to start from the beginning of this article. So what are the top 10 Christmas products to dropship? For now guys I see that you're already starting to ask questions in the chat. Continue asking questions I'm going to address you guys very soon and if you guys know me from my previous lives I answer each and every one of you guys questions. So let's go ahead and begin. What are the top products that sell in Christmas? Number one and this one should be an obvious one. Christmas trees right? Who doesn't buy Christmas trees for Christmas? Every household or every Christian household every American household needs to have Christmas trees in their houses and most of them don't even buy one tree. Some buy a tree for the living room some for the dining some for the bedroom some for the kids bedrooms there's all kinds of variations of Christmas trees some that come with props some that come without there is always something for you guys to sell and to make it easier I don't know which suppliers you guys are dropshipping from but if you're using Autodeses and you know that you have about 25 suppliers that you guys can grab these products from really really quick but no matter what you're working with all you need to do is head in head over to your suppliers website and search for it so in this example I'll head over to Amazon and this is how you can do product research inside your suppliers websites so here on Amazon we're going to search for Christmas trees now how do I know exactly which one to sell because now I'm probably going to get thousands of results here we go over 10,000 results so how do I know exactly which Christmas tree is going to sell well for me guys I see once again your questions in the chat keep asking questions I will get to it really soon and I will not skip any one of you guys questions okay so start asking them now and this is how we're going to do this is how we're going to conduct product research inside our suppliers websites so here for example I've got Amazon let's go for example for this tree over here I'm going to click on it then I'm going to see exactly who the seller is does he nobody's doing is he a new seller is he just trying out the platform or is he a seller that already has a good reputation he knows what he's selling and then all we have to do is optimize the product's title and the product's description and import it to our selling channel whether it's eBay whether it's Shopify or even on the Facebook marketplace and better yet on the Facebook marketplace guys if you live in the US and you haven't started yet I highly recommend you guys right now to start dropshipping on the Facebook marketplace just list items there is no competition there and it's actually really really easy okay so let's begin what are you going to do once you go inside a listing to know if it's one that has good potential or not so here you can see that it's sold by Dreammade US but it's also ships from that so it's a third-party seller it's not a prime product so if for example you're dropshipping from Amazon you want to go with Prime products and I don't know if you guys are dropshipping from Amazon or if you think you have problems with it because for example you know that Amazon doesn't allow dropshipping on their platform they really won't mind as long as you know what you are doing and you are being clear with your business actions and if you're dropshipping using fulfilled by Autodesk then you really don't have to care about any of that because nobody is going to use your own buyer accounts you don't even have to have one so everything will be managed for you automatically and it simply makes everything much much easier okay so let's go back to what we wanted so I clicked on free shipping by Amazon I want to see only products that are prime okay so let's begin I'm going to click inside one of these listings let's go with this one national tree company this looks like a company that knows what they are doing so I can click here to visit the national tree company store but you can already tell this guy has 13, 120 ratings and he's got four and a half out of five stars you're pretty much gonna do a good job if you're going to list this seller's product just make sure to list all of the variations that you see here you can list it in one product and have them as variations or go with my strategy list each variation as its own standalone product and then each one will have its own images each one will have its own description and each one will be optimized and enhanced in its own way and if a buyer is for example looking for a for the nine foot variation and he can't tell from your 7.5 foot variation if you even have the nine foot inside there he may not even know and then he won't even click on your listing but if it was a standalone product and in the title you would see that it's a nine foot Christmas tree and that's what he was looking for that's what he typed when he searched for it on eBay or Facebook or Shopify that's how he's going to get to your store so how do we know that the seller is doing a good job first of all of course look at the ratings now you may be thinking to yourself wait if he's got 1,320 ratings that means that he's probably had he probably has enough drop shippers that are reselling his product and they're doing a pretty good job at it that may be correct but it does not matter for you because you can sell it on a different marketplace you don't have to sell it on the US marketplace you can also sell it on the UK marketplace you can sell it in the Canadian marketplace you can sell it in the Australian marketplace there are so many marketplaces with such high potential that you guys can drop ship on so don't worry about product saturation you can you can target different markets like I said you can optimize and enhance your product listings which is something that everyone needs to do and that's it that will differentiate you from your competition and that's how you can make sales on products that you think are saturated and for those of you who have been rough drop shipping for a while you guys know exactly what I mean okay so the first product is Christmas trees let's go on the second product for this Christmas guys once again it's an obvious one and look I'm feeling a little bit festive today I've even got some lights on me right so Christmas lights is the second product and Christmas lights I mean this is yellow and Christmas lights are red and green but I couldn't get my hands on it for this live I would even dress as a Santa Claus for you guys but I don't have the outfit so Christmas lights number two on the list just look for different variations and you don't have to of course use the same supplier but I'm just gonna do it because it's more practical for the live so here I'm going to search for Christmas lights and once again you're gonna ask yourself wait but we saw that there's thousands of items so once again how are we going to know which to choose even if some have high high ratings you're going to find thousands with high ratings so which ones are you going to add and how much are you going to add so what I would suggest suggest in this case is to look for different variations if one product looks like the other like for example take a look at this one we're seeing this this this roll right and half of it has yellow lights and the other half has a Christmas lights Christmas colored lights and then this listing looks pretty much the same this one costs $46 and this one costs $25 this one's got 3600 reviews this one's got only 15 so which would you choose of course the obvious choice would be this one it's cheaper it also has the remote control maybe there's less led lights yeah it does this one has 200 LED lights and this one has 400 this one's 130 feet long but mainly people are going to go for the cheaper product people I mean they will spend a lot of money this Christmas online shoppers spend a crazy amount of money every Christmas and if you guys do want a bite of the action this is what you need to do but in this case I would go for the $25 listing and I would make sure to not have another product that looks the same because you want to test out different products so that's one that I would choose and then I would go for these lights also that decorate complete whole houses like this one 400 LED lights $37 so I would also go for that one that one is also specifically blue so you'll have a listing only for blue then you can also try out solar Christmas lights like this one just make sure that your listings differ from the other and that you are choosing products that have been proven to sell well the third Christmas product that you guys need to sell our Christmas ornaments this is the these are the props that you put on trees inside the Christmas socks and not just so Christmas ornaments same strategy as I showed you with the Christmas lights the fourth product wait let's go let's let's micro niche those ornaments so you've got ball ornaments you've got gnome ornaments like you see here and number four on the list is Christmas embroidery kits which is what you're seeing here pretty self-explanatory just copy it from our blog page search for it on your suppliers page go for the best sellers go for listings that differ from one another to always test out different variations and of course guys once you sell something let's say you listed all of these products that we have on the store okay let me just yeah the extension is on so let's say you wanted to add all of these products to your store okay and you want to test the market and see what works what you would do is once a product starts to sell okay from all of these ornaments like let's say you listed all of these and this one sold okay this one with Emily mom dad and all of these names okay so if that product sold for you then you can see here that something is working so go to that product that sold and see what's special about it and then look for more products that are similar to that one that sold for you that's always going to help you out so much into multiplying your success the next Christmas product that you guys need to add for your to your stores are Christmas inflatables this is one of my personal favorites why because it's a medium to high ticket product and if you sell one you're going to make some great profit from it and speaking about profit margin guys I hope that you're all making no less than 20 30 percent is good 40 percent is great that should be a profit margin for drop shipping anything below that will get eaten up in your fees and your subscriptions and you won't be withdrawing so much money to your bank unless you have hundreds of orders per day then you can definitely see the profits from there too but you should definitely test out profit margins if you're selling products and you're wondering why you're not withdrawing enough money to your bank that should be a good reason for you to up your profit margins give that two weeks one month of testing and see that even if you made less sales you profited more and you dealt with fewer customer service because you don't you didn't make as much sales imagine making only 10% profit in sales having so much sales every day small profit lots of customers to attend to and to give answers to that's not going to make your job easy and you won't see so much profit so test that out and see that it will work for you so Christmas inflatables let's check this one out I didn't copy it this one is easily going to come with so many different variations one listing is probably not going to be like the next because each one is custom made with custom dimensions and as you can see here we have got many Christmas inflatables they're all air blown and people simply buy a lot of this product you can just get a small indication by the amount of reviews that we're seeing here so 320 here and we've got 747 reviews for this one we've got a thousand 150 for this five foot hot dog Christmas inflatable and the list just goes on and on inflatables are one of the most popular products for Christmas start adding them to your stores number six on the list are Christmas tree toppers this is not it's it's kind of like what was it the other props that we had the ornaments but this is for putting on top of your tree a tree topper right it's self-explanatory but it's another very trendy product that we sell at selling well once again you can just get a small indication from the amount of reviews but if you guys just take a look at this and see all the different variations that you have for tree toppers and that simply many people are buying this product I don't have much more to say about it guys whatever is in demand and it's in demand right now start selling it that's one of the best things about the drop shipping business model right you guys don't have to care about how many products you have in your store because you are not paying for inventory so we've got some micronations for the tree toppers we've got star tree chopper tree toppers angel Christmas tree toppers and the seventh product on our list are Christmas stockings so I just spoke about that a few minutes ago but that's another product that sells really really well shout its different variations two packs three packs four packs see what starts to sell add more like them multiply your success I'm going to get your questions really soon guys number eight on the list Christmas reads just like you see right here put them on your doors hang them on the wall this is a great product that sells for Christmas number nine Christmas gift wrapping paper everybody's buying gifts not many people not many sellers not many drop shippers are thinking about wrapping paper so that's another great seller and definitely add that to your stores guys last one on the list flameless candle sets this doesn't have Christmas printed over it but the amount of cells that we're getting on this product during Christmas time right before Christmas is absolutely crazy so add flameless candle sets and see how they sell on your stores that pretty much sums up the Christmas products guys there is much more much much more Christmas products to add and you can do it really really easily using auto DS using the product importer automation you can simply grab complete pages like you see this one I've got the extension down here all I have to do is click on it then I'll delete this from the old one then I have to click on extract then all of the products that you see here on this page just got extracted into the smaller extension then I'm going to export that CSV file you can see that a CSV file was downloaded onto my computer it has all of the product IDs that I'm seeing here then on the auto DS system I'm simply going to click on add products click on multiple products upload CSV and import that CSV file right here once you put it there it will simply add all of those products in just a few seconds to the draft section of your store once it's on the draft section go ahead and start your optimization process start optimizing your products the title the description the categories the item location the images the item specifications finish up with that and once you're done with the optimization process which is everything that you're seeing here simply import it to your stores it'll go to the products page and that means that they are live on your store and anyone can go in and start buying it so it's that simple to add it to your stores all you have to do is find what's in demand so guys Christmas is just one month away now is the time to start preparing your stores that doesn't mean that you need to add remove all the products and sell only Christmas products but do make a lot of room 30 40% of your store should be filled up with Christmas products and then after Christmas is over of course remove them and replace them with other products that are not related to Christmas because you will not be selling Christmas products anymore but do save the data of what's sold for you and keep that for next year so that next year you can already start with great winners while continuing testing the market for more and then you'll see how every year you are growing and growing with more sales and more profit so those are the top Christmas products guys enjoy that start adding it to your stores and don't do it in the last minute don't do it a week from now don't do it two weeks from now because when Christmas will finally arrive and you'll peek and sells really quick and then it'll drop right up to Christmas you'll kick yourself in the butt for not adding more products and testing it out some more okay guys let's start a little bit with your questions so for those of you who haven't started asking questions yet start doing it now on the chat and I will address each and every one of your guys questions all right so let's begin I am here hello look for you I am also here my name is Liran from AutoDS pleasure to meet you Mehoov Alam need VA job that's great to know Mr. Alam what I would suggest for you to do is to go to our community page on Facebook we have a post VA's for hire I'm not sure if I can find it not really quick but just go to our AutoDS community page search for VA you will find our post for hiring virtual assistants and then you can just leave a post there that you are looking for a job and those who are looking to hire VA's will see your message and they will contact you okay so good luck with that hi if I live in UK which eBay is more profitable for me UK or USA eBay me hi that's a great great question thank you for asking that let me address it if you live in the UK first of all we've got it's not posted yet I think maybe eBay UK was posted already on our blog page let's have a quick look basically we've got articles and videos coming out on on the UK selling channel so whether you want sell on Shopify UK or eBay UK or just see whatever's working in the UK maybe UK suppliers we've got content coming up let me see what we posted so far I know that we've got UK dropshipping suppliers here we go top 11 UK dropshipping suppliers we've got a lot more UK content coming up soon but let me address your question so if you live in the UK then you should know that let's let's talk about let's first of all talk about the selling channels so you want to sell on eBay and you don't know if you want to do it on USA or UK so the two markets are different the main differences between the USA and the UK from all of the information that we have gathered is that in the US there is a much there are more people who are buying population-wise there are a lot more online shoppers but on the other hand there's also a lot more competition in the US market you can make sales both ways okay there is no black and white answer but here are the differences the demand is higher in the US but the competition is also higher in the US in the UK you also have a crazy amount of buyers and not as big as a competition you don't have as many buyers in the US but you also don't have as much of a competition as you do in the US so if you are drop shipping from UK suppliers then I definitely recommend to drop ship on eBay UK and that's because you want to ship quickly to your customers so if you're drop shipping from the UK to the UK your domestic shipping is going to be really quick your buyers are going to get their items really quick and that's pretty much it that's what buyers are looking for people want to get their items and they want to get them now nobody wants to wait more than two weeks and nobody even wants to wait one week if they won't have to but the maximum is two weeks if your product takes more than two weeks to arrive your buyers are not going to be that happy even if the product is in high quality your buyers would rather pay you more for each order and get their products simply much faster so if you're drop shipping what's going to be more profitable for you drop shipping from the UK if you live in the UK sell on eBay UK definitely now your next question should be what suppliers should use because you need to know what how many what products you can sell from the UK domestically what is your reach how many how many I mean can you even sell the products that are in demand do you have a large selection of products so this one should answer your next question let me share my screen so this article the top 11 UK dropshipping suppliers for your business this one will point you out to the 11 best suppliers that we have found that are really helping UK dropshippers get their business started running and manage it really easily so I'm gonna click on the post content and as you can see here we've got all those suppliers we even have them listed here and you can simply click on it to go down to that specific section and read about it but let's go over it really quick okay but I do want you to read this blog articles you have a full explanation of each supplier each UK supplier why they are good but the quick list is Amazon UK so you've got Amazon.com you also got Amazon.co.uk AliExpress has warehouses in Great Britain if I'm not mistaken so then you can ship really quickly to the UK they have warehouses in the UK go to AliExpress dropshipping center click on find products to sell and on the ships from choose UK on the ships to choose UK and then they'll show you all the trending products that you can buy from them and dropship it to the UK domestically with fast shipping you've also got Banggood UK so they've also got warehouses in the UK Wayfair UK lots of people are using Wayfair because they're a very dropshipping friendly supplier just like Banggood and Ali Express you've also got Costway UK another dropshipping friendly supplier this one is also giving you 90 day returns for most of your orders so that makes it a lot better in terms of giving service to your customers they also offer dropshipping agreements and as I said they're dropshipping friendly and there is no membership costs you've also got Vita XL UK you've got CJ dropshipping UK which also gives you a great solution for print on demand services when dropshipping so if you guys haven't checked out CJ dropshipping yet I definitely recommend to do that next you've also got eBay UK so if you're dropshipping on eBay then don't use eBay as a supplier but if for example you're dropshipping on Shopify UK you can use eBay UK as your supplier so that's another one you've also got Gold dropship not many have heard of them but we also support them you can import products with them you can import products with all the suppliers that I'm showing you guys and have price and stock automation so you can scale really really easily using AutoDS next you've also got AW dropship with warehouses in the UK you've also got printify which is another sorry marketplace that offers print on demand services for dropshippers that's pretty much it those are the 11 best UK suppliers so use that for your business and I hope I answered your question well they're me hi all right next question Wendy and I also saw that you wrote on our Facebook group yeah I wanted to address that too how do you charge 35 to 45 percent above Amazon or the place you're dropshipping from no sales since a few of us added profitability 50% eBay 4% PayPal 7% taxes AutoDS fees were 25 plus percent with zero profit so Wendy first of all product research it's all about product research let me stop stirring my screen so it's all about product research first you need to sell the right products the products that are in demand don't worry about the competition sell products test products see what works that's how you're going to get your first few sales now when you're testing products test them at a high profit margin do not sell at low profit margins you don't have to don't worry about how is the product selling for cheaper on Amazon this has been working for years the dropshipping business model is here to stay it's not going anywhere you've got marketplaces all around search for one product on Google and you won't only find it on Amazon you'll find it on many selling channels for many different prices at the end of the day no buyer or 99.7% of buyers are not going to search for your product on Amazon after they buy it from you okay they're going to get their product I got what I ordered I'm happy with what I ordered think about you as a buyer I'm sure that you've bought things online before and you've received your packages after you received your packages did you go to AliExpress Ali Baba Shopify eBay Amazon and try to find it for cheaper now you got the product you were happy that you got it and that's what it's all about that's a dropshipping business model most of the customers simply do not care so first of all how do you charge 35 to 45% above Amazon I'm personally doing that for years and it's working quite well so don't worry about the how just do it and once you take action and you do it and you'll see that people will start to buy that will simply answer your question how do people do it they simply don't know or don't care what's going on on Amazon because they decided to buy from your store they sell the product from your store and that is what matters now many products that you're going to sell when I talk about product research and the importance of product research many of the products that you sell are going to be products that it's hard to put a a price point on it so when you get to those niches when you get to those categories and those products you can you'll see that let's say it's sold on Amazon for $20 but you can also you know people also buy this product for $35 for $40 so there's no problem with that remember one thing most of the products you're seeing on Amazon are coming from Alibaba and you'll also find them on Aliexpress you simply have an Amazon seller who creates something using Alibaba suppliers they bring it to Amazon they start FBA on it fulfilled by Amazon and Amazon simply takes care of their fulfillment process so they buy it really cheap on Alibaba they pay so many expenses along the way so they have to jack up the prices so remember that whatever you're selling you're selling price on eBay it already passed a few price increases from the manufacturer to Amazon FBA to eBay and that's how the market works you'll always find cheaper prices and more expensive prices on the same products yeah so your break even that that's right eBay is about 15% especially for international sellers 4% PayPal if you're still using PayPal if you're using Payoneer then you can pretty much waive that fee 7% taxes it can even be up to 10% that's true we're at 25% with zero profit you are not a zero profit do not sell at 25% profits sell more than that but it also depends on what you said your break even so your break even needs to be about let's say my personal break even as 13% even though it's not true because you know I'm paying taxes after and all of that then I add another 15% profit margin and then I'm always profiting anywhere between 35 40 something percent so just try it out don't don't be afraid to dive in and raise your profit margins all right next question hi Iran hi e does AutoDS have a maximum amount of products that it can monitor no absolutely not so let me know what selling channel you drop your drop shipping on e and I'll even help you out some more but there are definitely no limits and if you have a no limit account then I'm guessing you're either drop shipping on Shopify or on the Facebook marketplace and good luck with that let me know how it goes next question do you have to wait five days to get paid on Facebook maroons what's a maroon so hey Stephen Graham on Facebook marketplace once you provide tracking information then Facebook will most likely give you your payout in the next day or two it shouldn't take longer than that but if you are not using UPS USPS or FedEx tracking numbers then it can take eBay Facebook sorry up to even a couple of weeks to send out your payout so try using suppliers who offer UPS USPS and FedEx tracking numbers by the way guys speaking of tracking numbers did you guys know that if your account is flagged on eBay you can now unflag it using AutoDS's aquiline service I don't know if you guys heard about this let me show it to you really quick so eBay has flagged accounts that ship out their products from what when you have a listing on your eBay on your eBay store inside the product listing you have a zip code and when eBay sees that you are shipping from a different that the tracking numbers that you're providing are different let me stop sharing my screen just for the explanation for anyone dropshipping from Amazon to eBay eBay will flag your account when they see that you have a zip code inside your item listing and when you're supplying a tracking number they see that the product is coming from a different zip code then eBay says okay this seller is lying about his item location he's probably dropshipping from all kinds of retailers so we're just going to flag his account and then he'll have to list a lot more listings to get sales so now there's finally a fix for it using the AutoDS auto ordering system let me show you how that works so now we've paired up with aquiline I'm in the AutoDS settings page and of course you have to have the auto orders on your plans and add-ons then in the settings in the order settings over here make sure that you've got your eBay store here so let's go with eBay USA and using the Amazon US supplier here you see on the tracking conversion I have another option we used to have converting it to Blue Care Express which is still there but now you also have convert all tracking numbers to aquiline so now every tracking number every time you get a tracking number AutoDS can convert it to aquiline using the zip code that you have here on the list or setting so you have your default zip code if I'm using the aquilines tracking conversions every time I get a tracking number eBay will see that it's coming up from this zip code then all you have to do is reach out to eBay let them know hey I see that my account is flagged because of the item location policy but I'm not breaching that policy check out my last orders see that I am shipping from the same item location specified in my listings then I'll have a representative check it and when the eBay representative sees it then they will unflag your account we've tested it on many accounts we saw that it works and we enabled this feature so enjoy it guys anyone who got flagged start working on unflagging your accounts right now with aquiline all right let's get back to the question I'm sorry I forgot what it was oh yeah five days to get paid so I answered that let's move on to the next one yes but when the 25% just covers fees I entered your question do what I said let me know how that went for you I'm pretty sure that you'll be proud hi I have a high center limit on eBay 50,000 items good job Sarah all the count I sold two items and then they put my payments on hold after paying me for the two items do you think my account will get shut down no but just take the right action Sarah you have a very good asset right here with an eBay seller account with 50,000 in limits so you just you just sold your your first two items I'm guessing it your first two items provide tracking information and make sure that the tracking information is trackable once you upload a tracking number and eBay supports that tracking number and they see that you deliver promptly to your buyers according to the selling policies that you had in your listings then eBay will not put your payouts on hold it's only something that they do on beginner seller accounts who just started selling no matter how many limits you had so please upload tracking number do not jeopardize this account it's worth a lot of money it's a heck of an asset today take care of your account and let me know if you have any questions I will definitely help you out and make sure that your account never get suspended Sarah my account is on hold two for the same reason they said they will release my funds after one week okay so Mihai is your eBay account also new because I have zero holds on my account I've been selling on eBay for the last almost five years now I do know that on beginner accounts they have holds even before partnering with Payoneer when we were working with PayPal we still had this holds it's called the PayPal gel search for it on Google and you'll see what I mean but I never actually had that problem because I was always you know very customer oriented and uploading my tracking numbers on time replying to my customers being responsive to cases and refunding customers when I need to that's about that should be about 3 to 4% of your business so it doesn't really matter as long as you've got the long-term sustainability so definitely take care of your accounts guys let me know what questions you have Amazon price is too high so how do I get competition on eBay so I already answer that question SLBS don't worry about Amazon's prices if the maybe maybe that specific seller is not a good seller he's selling the product for too high but look for other sellers that have high reviews that have lots of sales because their prices are probably a lot better than what you're talking about and once you find a of course a supplier with a good product with a good price you can simply list it on eBay and you will see that the sales will roll in if the product is in demand the price matters but not as much as you guys think alright next question hi I'm from Nepal and I knew my problem is I cannot set up eBay seller hub account hi anything so I'm not sure why you're having this problem let me know what's what's what's the problem you have to just sign up with eBay and then on the top bar click on sell because you want to start selling then they'll walk you through the process of manually listing your first item I suggest to upload a first product from your home so just let eBay know that you want to get rid of some stuff that you have laying around the house I'll put some products that you have from home upgrade your limits a few times and then you can easily start dropshipping and it shouldn't be any problem at all you can start dropshipping also right from the start but you may deal with temporary suspensions that you'll have to call eBay and deal with later which is something that more experienced eBay sellers know how to handle okay next question hello hello look for you how's it going do you have any questions from me today next question go Florence advice on how to effectively ask eBay to increase selling limits yeah definitely call eBay and let him know hello I would like to increase my selling limits I have a lot more items that I need to get rid of my customer service is on point as you can see I'm shipping out all of my products on time please increase my limits and they will get back to you with an answer but there's also a few ways to do it and even if you get a no for whatever reason you guys will notice that the more you talk to eBay the more representatives that you will talk to and each one has different authorities so it's kind of randomized sometimes you guys are going to put up with representatives that tell you I cannot upgrade your limits at this point sometimes they'll give you a reason and so it'll help you with your next call sometimes they won't give you a reason but all you have to do is keep retrying if you don't if you don't make it the first time and you will see that it works and to help you out with that even more so what I suggest to do there's there's different methods of reaching out to eBay so head to auto DS calm and click on our drop shipping blog right here in the resources or out of this comm slash blog and here we have a pinned article on eBay selling limits how to check get around and increase eBay seller limits click on that and there I guided you through each and every step that you need to take and the many different ways of also reaching out to eBay you can also reach out to them by phone you can reach out to them by chat you can reach out to them by mail my personal suggestion is phone if your English is not so well or you don't have confidence with it then go with chat and leave the mail as the last priority but anyway here in this article you're going to understand how eBay selling limits work in the first place where you can see we find your eBay limits if you don't know where they are what to know before increasing your eBay selling limits and this is important if you want to increase your eBay selling limits go Florence what you want to do is make sure first that your limits are full make sure that your limits are in the red zone then make sure that you don't have any open returns or replacements otherwise the eBay representative will tell you okay so that you have an open case please take care of all your customers and get back to us after so this is a lot of after a lot of trial and error next also make sure that your seller level is in good standing so make sure that you're above standard if you're below standard eBay will say hey get your account up and running better give better customer service get above standard and get back to us then you also want to make sure that your items are in stock now this only applies if you don't have a lot of limits for example if you have 10 or 50 limits and you want to raise those limits you want to make sure those products are in stock because of half of them are not in stock eBay is going to tell you you don't need more selling limits just delete what you don't have in stock and add more products oops actually went down too much let's get back to where we were no open cases there live in good standing and the last one where you don't really need a verified PayPal account anymore because now today you have Payoneer but also make sure that your Payoneer account is active it's connected to eBay but eBay won't let you sell without it today anyway so that one goes without saying then how to increase eBay selling limits so let's go over it real quick you've got the automatic method which is what works best for drop shippers who are selling their products really well you'll get this email I showed my screenshot example that I got from one of eBay's males so highly wrong congratulations you did a great job selling on eBay and we've noticed how would you like to list even more now you can here's how much you can list this month they raised me in this specific selling limit increased from 370 items to 710 so they pretty much almost double that and from nine and a half thousand to 18 and a half thousand so almost pretty much double that pretty much give me a 50% increase from here 45% something like that so when you're selling well on eBay you're going to get automatic limit increase and if you're and if that doesn't happen then what you want to do is request to list more you'll have this option below your limit so click on that but once again make sure that this green line and this orange line make sure that they are in the red over here otherwise eBay will tell you you don't need to rate your limits because you still have open limits then you have the ways to contact eBay so you can contact them through the phone here's how to do it you have an explanation of how to get to them by the phone the next is getting them by mail and by chat my personal suggestion like I said start with the phone if that doesn't work go with the chat then go with the mail what to do if you're not eligible for a limit increase so go through all those steps and make sure that you answered that you that you're eligible for a limit upgrade with all the things that I showed on top anyway I'm not going to get into this too much you have all the answers in this article I think there's also a video for it I'm not sure no there isn't but definitely read the article it'll help you out more so go Florence I hope I answered your question there let's move on I'm going to start speed reading it through because we got 17 minutes for the live I live in Germany dropshipping from China to USA okay look for you is the best solution for me you mean what is the best solution if you live in Germany drop shipping from China to USA so first of all look for Chinese suppliers who ship quickly from China to USA okay because nobody wants to get their products in more than two weeks it's not practical especially not nowadays where you've got warehouses all around the world and the fast shipping all around the world so make sure that you're finding Chinese suppliers who ship quickly who have a fast delivery date that's shown on Ali Express or whatever supplier you're using and also read seller reviews and see his seller rating to make sure that he really ships his products quickly and on time and I would also suggest to look for other suppliers not just from China I know that you're thinking oh it's from China so everything's gonna be so cheap but on the other hand your customers are gonna get mad for not getting their products on time so make sure that you're doing it correctly please share a list of eBay sensitive words phrases except gun drugs weapon those obvious ones I'm tired of error these are gonna be listed the title of description may contain improper words okay so that's a great question pig egg you don't need a list of eBay sensitive words if there's anything that's bothering you from being uploaded then use that as eBay sensitive words like for example I blocked list words that have Amazon in it that have email addresses phone numbers things like that but to answer your question even if you get that vero error and it's good that you are focusing on vero and trying to avoid those products there some errors are like small errors like let's say you want to you want to sell a case for a Samsung Galaxy and the creator of the case the manufacturer is not Samsung so you won't write in your title Samsung Galaxy case because the buyer would think that Samsung is the manufacturer but if you're going to write phone case for Samsung Galaxy then they won't think that the manufacturer of Samsung because you're saying it's for him and not from him so this is one way so if the vero error is telling you you cannot sell Samsung you can still overwrite it because you're not selling Samsung you're selling a prop for Samsung from a third-party seller so always look at what the error means what it's telling you sometimes it can tell you something like I don't know you have the word cup in your listing and there is a manufacturer called cup who's patenting his products but you can still sell cups right so you have to use a little bit of logic but if you do see that the vero is in the manufacturer then you do have to you should just delete that listing because that means that someone got vero on it in the past and you know they dealt through the trouble and you want to avoid making that same mistake I hope I answered your question there all right next which best supplier for Germany to USA from Germany to USA look for you that's a great question Germany suppliers I haven't looked into Germany suppliers too much that's a great content suggestion guys if you have suggestions for things that you haven't seen in auto DS yet please have a look at what I'm about to show you so what you need to do is head to the auto DS platform and here you there's this wheel I don't know if you guys can see it on the top right there's a wheel button click on it then click here on feature request and here you can make a request for seeing new features getting reading new content upgrading and existing features you can simply upvote for whatever you want and as you see people here have already created all kinds of votes on all kinds of features or importing features order features product management and even where is it where is it settings dashboard products I can't see the to make a request for vice customer support mobile app I don't see for creating content request but it should also also be here you can simply create a new you can simply create here a new vote so say for example first search for it so for example let me search let me get rid of this menu let's search for the word Germany ad fulfilled by out of the service for Amazon.de to eBay Germany so this is already starting to get voted for people want this and as you see here people are writing this feature is urgently needed this feature would be awesome Amazon is banning our accounts the service would be great and for those of you who don't know don't know it's already working pretty well on Amazon US but yeah to answer your question first make a vote for that you want a content request on this next Amazon.de is a great example and if you're looking for suppliers also head over to our suppliers page so you can click here on suppliers on the top or just head to auto.com slash suppliers then here on the region click on Germany and here you can see all the suppliers that you can work with us with with auto DS and you know still have price monitoring stock monitoring and quick product importing so you can easily manage your business from here and as you can see you can use Amazon, eBay and cost-way Germany so you can use these suppliers not eBay because you're dropshipping to eBay right yeah so use Amazon or cost-way that's already a great start customers don't search to what do you know you mean about if you're buying a product if a customer is buying a product from you and then he's going to search for it someplace else no I just told you to think of yourself and as an example but customers don't do it either so Wendy my best advice for you is to just try don't think of don't think of reasons why it won't work you need to try it out dip your feet in the water and once you that it will start to work your questions will turn into you know the next level of questions because now you're already selling you're profiting and your next question is probably going to be how can I scale more and profit more than what I am today so I just suggest to start and don't think about the profit margins or if the buyer is going to know where you bought it from because this is not very it's not a repetitive case in the drop shipping field that was very helpful thank you you're definitely welcome me hi I'm still sharing my screen how do I tell if a product supplier is a real source supplier or just another drop shipper also how to prevent other drop shippers drop shipping from me let me let me start with that with the last with the second question if a drop shipper is drop shipping from you then he's selling it at a higher price and he's buying it from you so you're making more sales now I've seen I'll take it up on another level I've seen people on Amazon Amazon sellers writing in Amazon seller central forums hey guys I just listed my product and I'm getting sales I'm profiting everything is great but I also see that a lot of people are selling my product for a higher price and they're buying it from me and then and what should I do about it should I should I tell you know the selling channel should I tell eBay that they're doing it and then they have other sellers who are replying to them saying why would you do something like that he's helping you get more sales what do you care if they're drop shipping from you or not if you're making more sales and you're making more profit that really shouldn't matter for you unless you have a problem with making more sales and more profit but at the end of the day if you're drop shipping from someone and someone is drop shipping from you and have a case like that I have one buyer that I see on my auto DS account and I'm happy to see the cells every time from him I can't find him on any other selling platform I don't know where he's selling it but many of my products he's reselling it and he's always buying from me I see the same buyer username and he's buying the expensive products I wish I could find his store and learn from his business practices but I'm definitely happy to see that and I've also reached out to him on eBay and I try to ask him what other products you want me to add to my store I'll help you get more sales unfortunately he's not being very responsive that's probably because I'm also sending him a lot of automatic messages from auto DS every time I make a sale to get more feedback so he probably thinks it's another one of those messages but you should definitely be happy or something like that is happening for you how could I tell for suppliers a real source supplier or just another drop shipper if you're dropshipping from marketplaces like Amazon from suppliers like Amazon and so forth it's sellers it's not drop shippers especially if it's fulfilled by Amazon but once again it doesn't matter as long as you're making sales if you're selling great products I can't use paying here to pay auto DS yeah you can today Wendy let me show you how I'll share my screen so I don't know if you guys know this but I have releasing feature release videos on our YouTube channel so you guys should stay updated on our YouTube channel subscribe to our YouTube channel to always know when a new update is coming out and I also made a video updating about this specific question about using paneer to pay auto DS so if you look over here we have a feature request a feature release video there's already a lot of videos that were uploaded since then so what you want to do is head over to auto DS where are we here we are then click on settings and in account and billing you can change the PayPal payment method you see right here you pay on your option here too so this is newly added and sorry for my slow internet connection but of course you can use a credit card you can use PayPal and you can also use paneer so just click on check out with paneer it'll make the API connection to your paneer account and then even if you it's not just for paying for your subscription and for your plans and add-ons but also on the auto ordering system if you want to buy credits of course load balance you guys know that you can load balance with paneer but you can also buy credits it'll charge your paneer account so if you're making money through paneer you can now spend your money through paneer and it'll make everything pretty much easier for you and the alright I need to start moving quick really really quick blessings everyone I'm so thankful for finding auto DS nice I was in another platform and I changed to this one and I'm totally 100% satisfied with auto

going to suspend you if they see that you're selling from Amazon they're going to suspend you if you're not handling your cases if you are not handling customer service correctly if you're not uploading tracking numbers on time okay they're not going to spend because you're dropshipping from Amazon I uploaded my tracking numbers both times right away I only took one day or same day Sara is that the question about getting payments from Facebook you should receive the payouts already but contact Facebook support if not how you want welcome back again hi Omar how are you doing I'm doing great thank you I remember you from every one of my lives what is the great way to get more sales on Facebook marketplace Omar list more list more if your products are not selling on Facebook marketplace list more but first tell me that you are that you have shipping options if you don't have shipping options you don't live in the United States you're not going to be making much sales on the Facebook marketplace but if you are keep searching bestsellers you will start to sell believe me on that by the way guys I have an interview coming up soon on our YouTube channel with another Facebook marketplace dropshipper who's grossing in over 16 17 thousand dollars in clean profit every month only dropshipping on Facebook marketplace okay I'm going to have to cancel the services with more support dealing with there's more support dealing with eBay they answer I don't know what you're talking about but I wish you the best of luck and if you need any help I'm here what is the best way to increase my selling limits I answered that in this live there's also a blog channel about we have a blog article about it but watch this live I just answered that and I went through the whole process of increasing your limits is it possible to maintain one business day handling time with Amazon Prime shipping in order to be qualified for top-rated plus seller and get 10 final fee discount you're going to have a hard time with that because not every seller is going to ship up within one business day and then you'll have more late tracking more late tracking more late tracking on your eBay account and then you can go below standard and eventually lose your account so I wouldn't put my money on that I've already out of this account I want to know if I can buy this sell for the black

at least in the next one okay so stay tuned currently over 2000 items nice nice nice rich but what's your question okay guys last one for today facebook is completely strict they told you that you're not allowed to have multiple accounts at all is that also clear Omar I don't I don't see a reason for you to have multiple facebook accounts but on the interview I interviewed someone who has two facebook accounts you will see that interview soon on our youtube channel I asked him why do you have two accounts he's using one account that's selling well and the other account for testing products to sell but you don't even have to do that you can do it under the same account it's just sometimes easier to keep track what you're testing and what you're keeping permanently in your store but start off with only one store don't play around with facebook's strict rules too much give them what they want so that you'll have a seasoned account then you can pretty much do whatever you want pretty much like ebay okay guys that pretty much wraps up this ninth live Q&A for you I hope that I helped you guys also prepare your stores for christmas use the product research feature integrated internally in the autodesk system to easily import products use your suppliers I wish you guys the best of luck I always like helping you guys and that's pretty much it I'll see you in the next live good luck with christmas guys take care
