 I think that now I got it, but it's a little bit too late because we're in the middle of the live already, but let's just take a look. Yep, now it started. Okay, so yeah, so we had a small technical difficulty here, guys. I started the live on a different link by accident. I'm not sure if it was a streaming software, but the live was playing for about half an hour now. And I didn't notice much movement in the live chat and now I can understand why the live simply didn't connect with the right RTMP link on the server and just nevermind, I'm gonna start this live from the middle. So hello to everyone who's just joining right now. Let me just make sure that we're all on the same page. I'll stop sharing my screen because I was in the middle of an explanation. Okay, so hello to everyone in this live Q&A. I'm sorry for starting at 30 minutes late. I've actually been talking for the last 30 minutes, almost to myself.

Arcila. Hello, Born Face. Hello, Dollar Deal. And I think I've said hello to most of the people, at least most of the people who have typed in the chat so far. Okay, yeah, let's get this live started, guys. Am I still sharing? Yep, let's get this live started right about now. One sec. Okay, so we've talked about Q4, and it's starting in a week, right? One week from today, even less. Today we're on September 28th, so we've only got a few days to start Q4. I don't know what stage you're at on your dropshipping business. I don't know if you guys have gotten started. I don't know if you guys are in the middle. I don't know if you guys have tried more than once, and I don't know if you guys had success right from the back, but Q4 is the best time of the year to be an e-commerce store owner. This is when sales are gonna go through the roof. This is when you're gonna have to think of more products that are going to sell well, and that is what you can also learn from us. This is where if you are marketing your products, you're going to have to raise your budgets a little bit more to be more competitive during the best time of the year to sell, but of course, raising those budgets are going to come back. It's gonna boomerang right back to you because you're gonna make more sales and profit, and just get ready for Q4, guys. You've got all of those holidays that I just mentioned coming up. You've got this e-book that's gonna take you through step-by-step all of the products that you need to sell. Take advantage of everything that we are offering to you. Okay, once again, the Q4 e-book is absolutely for free. I want you guys to enjoy that, and don't forget, ask your questions in the live chat, but I'm gonna remind you guys again, no technical questions. I will not be able to answer them. If you've got any technical issues, please open up a support ticket, and our support representatives will help you out there. I'm here to help you take the next step in your e-commerce business. Of course, after you pass through all those bugs, after you went through all of those obstacles, which I always see as opportunities, ask me your questions. Let me know what's stopping you from taking that next step, what information you feel is missing, where you feel like you need a little bit more training, where your weak spots are, and I will help you to the best of my ability with my last five years of doing dropshipping and still doing it to this day. Thank you, Dollar Deal. It is a great book. Handy Trendy, you can get the e-book. I'm gonna leave a link right below this video. You can simply head over to autods.com, hover over resources, click on e-books, and you'll see it, and or just go head straight directly to autods.com slash e-books, I'm not sharing my screen, sorry, okay? Or just head over to autods.com slash e-books, okay? And you will see the Q4 dropshipping book right there. But better yet, just go to autods.com, hover over resources and click on e-books, okay? And you'll see the Q4 dropshipping e-book right here on the left side. And I also want you guys to still check out the 100 best products to sell in 2022. These are the two greatest e-books that we created this year, okay? We also created more like how to run the eight steps to run Facebook ads for your stores, the beginner's guide to dropshipping on eBay, and you've also got 100 products from the previous year, but you should take a look at 2022. So the 100 best products to dropshipping 2022, and Q4 dropshipping events, products, tips, and tricks. This is your go-to right now, because Q4 is right now, and we just published this e-book right now. Take advantage of this before other dropshippers get their hands on it. Even if they do, it doesn't mean anything, but be first to the race, get these product ideas, add them to your stores, prepare before everyone else for Q4, and let yourself have that amount of time during Q4 to learn how to scale more, to see what products are selling, and then add more products that are similar to them, look for more suppliers, and get better stability and better profitability for your business. Don't do it at the last minute. Q4 is now. That means that the time to start preparing your stores is now, the time to start adding Christmas products, which is in December, is now. It's at the end of September. It's at the start of October. If you haven't sold Halloween products yet, I am not sure what you guys are waiting for. Go and add Halloween products to your store right now before it's too late, because in about one month, in exactly one month, Halloween occurs, and your products need time, your customers need time to get to the products on your store. They're not gonna see your products one minute after you add them. It's gonna take some time for the customers to search for it, and for you to show up on your customer search results. So add your products right now, your Halloween products right now, because customers already started buying them one month ago, and even more, and if you're not sure what products are selling for Halloween, head back to that Q4 ebook. That's exactly why we created that ebook. Okay, if you wanna take the shortcut, you can simply head over to our blog page, okay? So resources, dropshipping blog, and you've got the Halloween products should be right here. 15 spooky products who spice up Halloween dropshipping sales. So guys, you've also got the video embedded right here. Start Halloween right now. It's the last time I'm gonna talk about Halloween. If you haven't added at least these products yet, okay? And I'm not talking about one for each. Add 20 of this, add 20 scary bet wall stickers, add 20 inflatable outdoor ghosts and not just ghosts, add 20 outdoor Halloween inflatables, add 20 of each and every one of these product ideas. Do it before it's too late. It's gonna take your buyer's time to see your products. As I mentioned, it's gonna take them time to decide if they want it. Some of them it's gonna take them time to purchase, add it to their cart and purchase. And if your customers are international, if you're not shipping domestically, like from the US to the US, from the UK to the UK, but if you drop shipping from China to New Zealand or to any other country, it's gonna take too much time to reach your customer. And you could miss that time if you're only adding those products now. If you've already added them before, you know, one month, two months ago and you're making sales, you've already had your fun. You're still having your fun. But soon drop shipping from China for Halloween is not gonna be very relevant, okay? So when you're about three weeks away, two weeks away from Halloween, stop drop shipping from China, okay? Drop ship domestically so that your buyers will get your products quickly before Halloween comes up. If they're gonna get it after Halloween, that's another return, that's another refund for you to send. Okay, so let's stay away from that and know when is the right time to start. Right now, add your Halloween products right after watching this live, if you haven't done so yet. Okay, and don't forget that you've got more holidays after that. Okay, you've got Black Friday, okay, you've got Christmas, you've got Cyber Monday right after Black Friday, you've got Thanksgiving somewhere there in between and a good way for you guys to not miss out on these holidays is to use the e-commerce calendar. Again, it's 100% for free, guys. You don't have to pay for the calendar. Head over to autods.com. I'm not sure exactly why I think we put it also here, yeah. So resources, e-commerce calendar. Okay, click on that. Click on get your calendar. Enter your name and your email address. Click on get your free calendar and that's it, the e-commerce calendar has now been added to my calendar. So as you see right here, I've got Rosh Hashanah, that's a Jewish holiday. So we've got a three-day holiday right here and today is Ask a Stupid Question Day. But if we continue to the next month, let's see what we have. So let's go to the end of October. Lo and behold, on the 31st of October, we've got Halloween. And if I click on Halloween, then I can see what I should be doing for Halloween. So, oh, check it out. There's a blog article with a link and you also have what target audience, what audience you want to target for Halloween and more store recommendations. And if I click on the link, I'll be directed back to that article that I just showed you guys with a video embedded inside. So if you want to watch, you can watch. And if you simply want to take these products, copy and paste them to your suppliers, add them to your stores, enjoy those sales, go ahead and do that. But add the e-commerce calendar so that you guys will never miss out on another e-commerce dropshipping holiday. It's always good to know when the holidays are going to start and the e-commerce calendar is going to help you with that. Okay, so get your e-commerce calendar, what like I said, 100% for free. And that way you can also set reminders way, way, way up in advance. And you won't be like, oh, Halloween is coming up in two weeks. Let's add those products to my store now and maybe enjoy a couple of sales and a couple of mad customers for getting it after Halloween. Okay guys, so take those tips into consideration. It's going to help you get a good boost to your business. Okay, I can see a lot of people are typing in the live chat so you guys can continue writing down your questions, whether you're seeing us, whether you're watching me on YouTube, whether you're watching me on Facebook, ask your questions in the live chat and I will address them very, very soon. Sorry for starting this live 30 minutes too late. It's only because, actually I have to get to the questions now. It's only because I created a new live by accident instead of going to the proper one that you guys all had a reminder for and that you guys all joined the same minute that I started it. So yeah, I was talking 30 minutes almost to myself and now I'm finally talking to you guys. Sorry about this one, it won't happen again. We're all human, we're all bound to make mistakes at one point or another. As long as we learn from our mistakes and learn to improve ourselves the next time and that next time again and again and that also of course is very relevant to having owning your own dropshipping e-commerce business. Guys, any questions that you want asked them in the live chat, I'm going to start addressing it right now. I've already addressed the questions that you asked on the Facebook group in the first 30 minutes of the live. Okay, so I talked about aquiline tracking, removing your eBay flag and what to do if you only have three items and you request a limit increase and you couldn't get it. I already answered that so if you want to see the answers to that after this live is over, just watch it again from the beginning and you guys will be able to see it. But yeah, right now let's start with the questions that you guys asked in the live chat Q&A. If you haven't asked your question yet, now is the time I'm still gonna be able to get to it, I will still have time. Okay, let's get started. Haileeran Lee from the UK. Hello, Lee. Haileeran, hello, Handy Trendy. Any questions for me today? Hello, Shakoria. Let me move the screen here. It'll be easier for me. BJ Schultz, he is a great entrepreneur. That's cool. That's cool. Ask him if he wants to be interviewed here, if he's really big. Hi, is there any way to convert TN of Amazon without Trackerbot, please? Hi, Marco. If you're using automatic orders, then Autodesk can handle your tracking conversions for you. If you're not using automatic orders, then I'm not really sure. But yeah, just use auto orders if you want to have good tracking conversions, especially if you want to automate it. Best proxy for open eBay Israel. Okay, 91M, hello. First of all, I recommend using multi-login. We also have a video with them, a video interview where you can learn also how to use their service. They have a very good way to be able to open up multiple accounts without one being able to detect the other. And they also have a list of recommended proxies that they use. There is many proxy service providers out there. Some are high-quality, some are low-quality. Some will provide recycled IP addresses that have already been used in the past, which is not good. And some of them will simply provide really low-quality IPs, even if they are new. If you're dropshipping in sophisticated places like eBay or Amazon, they will really easily be able to tell that you're using a proxy and they'll most likely suspend your account. So you want to use a good proxy service provider and that you can also learn from multi-login. So I just have you respectfully, respectfully go to our YouTube channel. Okay, and here you want to search for multi-login. They watch this interview right here, how to create multiple self-account with multi-login and that's it, whoopsie. Yeah, and that's it, that should help you there. Greetings from Mexico, greeting. Hey, I think I saw you from the previous live, right? When should I hire a virtual assistant to manage my AutoDS eBay account and customer service? Born phase, great question, let's answer that. So when is a good time to hire a virtual assistant? First of all, you want to hire a virtual assistant only after you know your business really, really well. This means that you know how to conduct product research and get good products that are selling on your store. You know how to import them to your store. You know how to use everything that has to do with automation. You know how to price your items the right way. You know exactly what your break even is, what your expenses are and how much you're profiting. You also know how to, of course, use the automation software that you have. So if using AutoDS and you want to add virtual assistants through AutoDS, then you want to go through every section that AutoDS has and how to utilize it to the best when it comes to store settings, pricing settings, pricing automation. You want to learn how to use all of that. Now, once you know how to run every small piece of your business, every small aspect of it, then and only then should you hire a virtual assistant because you're going to have to teach them how to do it the right way. And you can teach them if you don't know it yourself. Don't expect them to go and learn how to run your business. So once you have a clear idea of your goals, where you want to get to, how to control everything inside your business, then you want to only after you have, of course, control of all of that, only then do you want to even think about hiring a virtual assistant. Of course, you're going to need that extra budget on the side, but it definitely, definitely pays off. If you know how to run your business well and if you know what you're looking for in a virtual assistant and to help you with that, if you want to look for places where people are looking to work as a virtual assistant, they've worked for it in the past, they have experience and they can help you get started. You know, they can help you scale your store. They can help you with things like product research, importing products, fulfilling orders, handling customer service. Then we have a post on our Facebook, we should have it on our Facebook community. Let me just see it really quick. Adodias Facebook community. Okay, I'll share my screen. I'll show it to you guys. Let's click on the share. So here on the community page, if you look at the pin posts here and you just move over a little bit to the right, you have the virtual assistants marketplace right here. Okay, and once you click on it like I just did, you're gonna click on the link and down here in the comments below, actually, I think this is the new one that we created. No, this is the old one. Hold on, let me just go back one. No, okay, so this one right here, we've got almost a thousand comments. Okay, these are all of the virtual assistants who are looking for jobs. Okay, so here, just read this one. Read this post, okay? See all of the people who are looking to work as VAs. Many of them have experience, many of them know what to do already. Many of them even show videos of their work. Okay, so go to this post, start messaging them, start testing them out and hire your virtual assistant from here. I'm sure that it's gonna help you find the one that you are looking for. Sometimes you may have to go through a few to find the right one and that is completely fine. Okay, every business owner has to go through that, but this is definitely, definitely, definitely gonna help you find those virtual assistants that you need for your business. So when is the right time to do it? The right time to do it is, like I said, when you know how to run your business. It doesn't matter if you're making sales yet or not, if you have the budget for a virtual assistant, you know how to run your business, you know what you're looking for, you know what your goals are, go ahead and hire them and help them shave off that time for you so that you can focus your efforts into growing, adding, creating more stores, hiring more virtual assistants, but of course only do that after you're making sales and profits from your first one, but that way you can really expand and really make it to huge, huge numbers. Okay, so good luck with that. And of course, don't hesitate to let me know how it went after you hired your first virtual assistant. All right, moving down. My copy to Clipboard isn't working. If you're talking second to none about the Facebook marketplace, you don't have to use that feature anymore. We have a new extension. You don't have to copy to Clipboard anymore. Well, we're going to schedule, we're going to upload a video this Friday to show you how to use the new Facebook marketplace importer feature where you don't have to copy details from one to the other. As soon as you add the products to the drafts page of AutoDS, you will see it on a dropdown menu on your Facebook marketplace account. You'll be able to simply choose the product from there and all of the listings details will be added. Okay, so more information on that coming up on Friday's video. I'm not sure what you're talking about yet, dollar deal. Hello from Columbia, hello, Juan. Jim Smith, hello to you too. And then I bought AutoDS, it's been four days. I couldn't sell anything. It says I can't import because of missing information on my eBay, please respond. Okay, Zane, that's the technical, that's exactly the technical issues that I was talking about. You need to open up a help support ticket with that. I have no idea what's going on in your computer, what you're trying to do there and what happened in the middle. Okay, so that's what the technical support is here for. And I'm here to help you simply with, help your e-commerce business itself in general, what to sell, how to sell, where to sell, what to target, where to target, anything that has to do with helping your e-commerce business take the next step. Where can we get that queue for e-books to write? So I showed you handy-trendy, head over to AutoDS. You've got that book right there, hover over resources on the top and click on e-books. Great book, thank you, dollar deal. Hi, I have joined AutoDS. Hello, Cynthia, good luck. If you need, if you have any questions, if you need any more information even after this live is over, just head over to our blog page, head over to our YouTube channel, start diving deep into the great, huge, vast amount of content that we have out there. And I'm sure that it'll help you even though there's so much content but help you kind of realize where you're at, what you can do and how to do it the best way. And of course, join me in these live Q&As. I host them every two weeks where you can personally ask me your questions. If you guys need one-on-one mentorship, we have Daniel, he's our mentor here at AutoDS. So if you guys wanna join the mentorship program, you can also do so. This way you'll have a one-on-one mentor that will help you with anything that you guys need. And we also have a new Discord server. So if you wanna join our Discord server, again, head over to autoDS.com, scroll down all the way, you'll see the Discord icon, click on it and you'll join our Discord server. Our Discord server and our Facebook community are the top two places where dropshippers help other dropshippers succeed. Now, granted, our Facebook community is much larger right now at this point because it's been around for a while and Discord is relatively new. So if you've been around in our community, also join our Discord channel. If you haven't been to both, I highly suggest joining both our Facebook community and our Discord channel. And this way you'll also get help from other dropshippers in the same field as you with better experience. Maybe some will have more, some will have less, but they all help each other succeed. And I also jump in there every once in a while to help out some people who need help. So definitely take advantage of that. And hello and welcome. Hello, Saiku, Saiku, Saiku Turei, hello. How to deal with long shipping days. Do you think I'm going to have any obstacles trying to create my dropshipping start to sell in the U.S. from Columbia? Ah Juan, the question is, are you going to be dropshipping products from Columbia to the U.S.? Then yeah, shipping is gonna take a long time, but there's, I'm not sure if that's a good idea because you can always dropship from the U.S. To the U.S., you pretty much have a range of any product that you can think of selling and sell it to the same audience with fast shipping, domestic shipping. And that's how you're gonna deal with long shipping days. If you still want to dropship products from Columbia to the U.S., by the way, you should also try Columbia to Columbia. But if you still wanna go with Columbia to the U.S., then I highly suggest making sure that your customers are fully aware of the fact that their products are not gonna arrive in like a few days. Okay, so make sure that your shipping policies are clear in how long it will take the product to reach your buyers, but take into consideration that most buyers are not happy getting their products in more than one week, more than one week's time, okay? Which is usually what happens with international orders. My question is, how to manage Amazon packaging and dropshipping? Dollar deal, that is not an issue today, okay? So I'm gonna let this live go a little bit overboard just because I started it a little bit late. I didn't really start late, but I hosted it with a wrong link in the first 30 minutes. So your customers, it shows that you haven't tried dropshipping from Amazon yet. By the way, guys, I highly suggest using multiple dropshipping suppliers. Don't work only with Amazon. I know that it's easy, it's convenient. But if you're a buyer account, if using your buyer account, it's probably gonna get locked at one point or another. You can also use automatic orders to help you with that. You can use the Fulfilled by AutoDS service, but right now it's currently handling orders over $25. I highly suggest working with other suppliers like Walmart, like CJ Dropshipping and so many more that you have out there who don't have the same problems as Amazon. Not saying that it's not possible to work with Amazon, it is, but it's much harder today. But still, yeah, you're gonna drop you from Amazon. Your customers are gonna get Amazon packaging, but guess what? Most of them will simply not care. They're not even gonna contact you about it. And in the rare occasion where a customer asks me why did the package come in Amazon packaging, I simply let them know that we shipped from multiple locations around the U.S. And one of those locations can be through Amazon's fulfillment warehouse. And if they're happy about their products, we're happy. They wanna return it, they always can, right? They have those 30 days. I haven't had a return from a customer who knew that I bought from Amazon. I've had maybe one angry customer out of tens of thousands that I'm not exaggerating, who gave me a negative review. That's it. It's so rare that you won't have to put up with it. So don't even worry about it, really. Just try it. Later on, you'll see that I'm right. Can I have your internship? Yeah, you have the mentorship program, which I talked about a couple of minutes ago at our deal. I'll go check it out on our website. Unboarding, the videos, articles are helpful. However, inevitably, as a new user, there are tons of questions once starting on Autodesk. Can you offer live support Zoom option during onboarding? I'm really surprised that you said this. Alejandra, Alejandra, Alejandra, Tehran. I'm really surprised that you said this because we actually were actually doing this. This is a new feature that we're going to roll out soon. So I created an onboarding video starting off with eBay. Okay, so if you're starting off with eBay, you have no idea how to start. You just signed into Autodesk. You just connected to your store, but you're not sure what's next. First thing you're gonna get is an onboarding video. Now, like you said, there's so much content out there. And even in that video, there's so much content that your head is still gonna be mixed up. We're gonna be mixed with questions, and it's inevitable, like you said. So what's gonna happen here is after you watch that onboarding, that quick onboarding video, not quick, it's about almost an hour long, but after you watch that video, you'll also be connected to a live session with me, about 15 minutes long, where I can simply help you take the first steps in your eBay account. Okay, so we've noticed that there's a lot of people who need help with this specific section. And like I said, I'm really surprised that you came up with an idea that we have already started to implement in the system. But very nice Alejandro, thank you for thinking of that. Thank you for the comments. If you guys wanna make any requests, okay, on Autodesk, you can simply do it from within the system if you're a member. Okay, simply let me share my screen and show you guys. Even if you're not a member, you can do it. Okay, if you wanna see any new features, if you wanna have any tips like what Alejandro just said. Okay, so what you wanna do is head over to the Autodesk platform. I think I already have it open. Yup, right here. Okay, and here you're gonna click on the circle icon right up here. Then you're gonna click on feature requests right here. And here you can make a feature request. So you can ask for a feature, you can ask for content, you can ask for anything. First search for it to see if somebody already created a vote for it. And then you can simply upvote them. And once we have enough votes, it moves to the plan section. Like for example, right now we've got drop shipping on Amazon. So the Amazon selling channel is planned, all right, for the developers. Amazon, Australian order automation. Also, just move to planned. It's gonna, it's going to roll out sometime soon. Top up your auto balance for, you know, fulfilled by Autodesk to manage orders to automatically top it up. So when your balance runs down to zero after you have automatic orders, you're gonna have automatic balance of refill if you want it. So we're gonna add that feature. Then we have everything that's already in progress. So the bundling option for importing products, adding WooCommerce as a sales channel. So like I said in this slide, we've got WooCommerce, we've got Amazon coming soon. Facebook marketplace, automatic order fulfillment, fulfilled by Autodesk. This is something that many people ask for. It's in progress right now. More carrier selection for AliExpress. And what's live right now. The last feature that just went live, I think it was last week, is using credit card for the auto fulfillment service. So for the fulfilled by Autodesk service, you can now top up your balance using your credit card and not just PayPal or Payoneer and the options that you had there. Okay, and any other thing that we had. So make your vote here. If you're not an Autodesk member yet, you can do it at feedback. That Autodesk.com and here you can create your own vote. Okay, so we have it internal in the system and we also have it web-based. Okay, and this is where we take a lot of great ideas and we simply turn them into a feature on Autodesk. Okay, so I hope that I answered you there. Let's continue with the questions. Could you explain what are the benefits of using Aqualine? Yes, Elle, I actually did it in the beginning of this live, but the first 30 minutes of this live was done on a different link accidentally and then I added this link to the live. So we were probably gonna have two live videos after this on our channel with the same title. One is gonna be 30 minutes long, the other is gonna be about an hour. But you just watched the hourly long one from the start and I went over Aqualine and everything that has to do with it. Chat support is helpful to a certain extent but live screen sharing on boarding call would be much better and more efficient to start with on Autodesk. I completely agree and that is why we're gonna have that soon. We're working on it as we speak. Do you source products? Do you mean if we are the supplier? We soon will be with that feature that I mentioned about having private suppliers adding products inside the Autodesk product research system that you can easily add to your stores and you can simply see Autodesk as a supplier there. Dollar deal, I think I answered everything. When will Autodesk be available for Facebook shops? So it is Abraar. I think I know that I already showed it in this live but if you wanna learn about it simply head over to Autodesk.com. Let me just show you, share my screen. Okay, head over to Autodesk.com slash blog or just Autodesk.com hover over resources, click on blog and this is, it's our newest article. So how to drop ship on Facebook shops, the ultimate guide. You have a step by step guide on how to get your store started there. You know how to go through the technicalities and then how to actually start your store, research for products, add them to your store, start the automation, start getting yourselves in profit. Okay, so it's all there. All right, continuing. Luan, what is the difference between break even and profit percentage? Okay, Thanos, that's a fair question. Very fair. So break even is what your fees are. How much are you paying before you actually start to see any profit and your profit percentage is how much you're actually gonna profit. So in order for you to know how much you're going to profit, first you need to know your break even and you also of course need to know your product costs. So first you have your product costs. So let's take this example. Let's say I'm drop shipping a product from Walmart and on Walmart, on Walmart it costs $20. I'm drop shipping this product for $50. So between $20 and $50, we have $30, right? But are we actually gonna make all those $30 on this profit? No, because we have our break even. We have some fees that we need to pay before we actually start to see that profit. So if for example, I have $30 profit, but eBay for example, I'm drop shipping on eBay. So eBay is gonna take let's say 15% to themselves from the product price, from the $50 price tag that I sold for, then they're going to deduct 15% from that. Okay, so that's about $12 from $50, is about 10% is five and another half. So about $7.5 are gonna take for themselves, right? So that is your break even. Your break even is 15% if that's how much you're gonna take. So first you've got your break even and then you've got how much profit you wanna make after your selling fees. So your selling fees is your break even, okay? And the product costs, so it cost me $20 and plus another $7.5 because I paid because I have 15% break even on that $50, okay? And then you're gonna make your profit percentage on top of that. So your break even percentage, for example, is 15% because that's how much eBay let's say is taking on average from an order. And then you're gonna make another let's say 50, 40, 30% profit on top of that because you actually wanna make some profit, right? That's what we're here to do. I hope that it was clear, but let me know if it's not. My eBay store is focused on health and beauty. Can I have a problem selling Halloween or Christmas products? I mean, can my clients see it as something strange to make sneezes? Mainly no, I'm not sure, especially because you're in an eBay store, most of your customers, they're gonna go to your product listing because they search for something on eBay, they didn't search for your store, they just search for a product and then they're gonna see your product listing on the search results on eBay. They're gonna click on that product, they're gonna go inside the product page, they're gonna read about it, then they're gonna decide if they're going to add it to their cart or continue through eBay's search engine. So most buyers are not going to click on your storefront on eBay. Okay, that's simply what buyers usually naturally do on eBay. So it's not like if you have a store on Shopify or Wix where you have your own domain name and you're on a website, then you'll click to go to see the main page on eBay, it doesn't happen much. So you shouldn't have any problem at all, sell them, okay? Take note of what products sold from them, okay? Add tags throughout ODS. So when you're adding a product from Halloween, add a Halloween tag if you're selling Christmas products at Christmas tags. So that after that certain holiday event is over, like after Halloween is over, check out your Halloween tag and see how well that product, how well that tag performed for you, all of the products that you have under that tag. Take note of the ones that actually sold so that when next year comes, you'll already have your best sellers from your own experience and you're gonna continue adding more products, test out more products so that this way every year, it's the compounding effect. Every year you're just simply gonna grow bigger and bigger and it's gonna be amazing after a few of these holidays. So it's okay to mix niches, especially if you're on eBay. If you find something that's selling really well for you, then you can think about creating a new store for that. But on eBay, it's not as relevant as it is in other platforms like Shopify. How to deal with long shipping delays? Do you think I'm gonna have any obstacles trying to create my drop shipping store itself? Yeah, I already answered this one. Schultz, how can I be given more sales possibilities through FBA fulfilled by AutoDS? Would I get more if I put in more money? No, you will get more sales, B.J. Schultz. If you work hard when it comes to product research, product research requires a lot of work, but it's worth it. And of course, adding more products to your stores. Now it depends on what selling channel you're using. If you're on eBay, the more products that you have, the more relevant products that you add to your store, the more sales you're gonna make. It's that simple. If you're on other places like Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, then you have to market your products in order for it to be seen in front of your target audience. This means that you need to put a budget aside for marketing. And if you did a good job on product research, if you did a good job on marketing, you're gonna make those sales. So it doesn't matter if you have the fulfilled by AutoDS on or off, it's not going to increase your possibility of selling more. But it will, if you take a look at the fact that it's saving you the time, fulfilling those orders by yourself, it's gonna save you a lot of time from that. So if you have 50 orders per day, just sitting down and typing them all day, fulfilling the orders and making sure you're not making any mistakes, that's gonna take up a lot of time for you from you. And you're gonna be able to make up that time if you have fulfilled by AutoDS or order automation on, because now you don't have to worry about them. You know that as soon as you get an order, it's gonna be sent out. Tracking information is gonna be uploaded automatically and you won't have to worry about if it's gonna get out, if it reached a buyer, did I send it out to the wrong address? You won't need to worry about any of that. So you can see it as something that can save you. Yes, I was in the last live, okay, good to know. I knew it, by the way. Any update on less than $2,500 in Amazon orders, please, sorry, I don't have any. I also, I'm also not the first one who gets updated on it, but you guys as AutoDS members, you will know maybe even before me. What's on the product roadmap to automate Facebook Marketplace listings. What other AutoDS features and capabilities do you plan to release by when that, that you plan to release by when that will be, that will benefit users, thanks. Okay, so Alejandra, I just showed you some ways that you can see what we have on the roadmap up ahead if you go to the upvote section that I showed you a few minutes ago. So you can also see it at feedback.autodds.com or just click on that circle on the AutoDS platform and click on feature request. You can see everything that we have coming up. Automate Facebook Marketplace listings is already up and running. We updated the Facebook Marketplace extension a couple of weeks ago and now you have a better automation there, faster product importing and of course price and stock monitoring. So that's already working. And more features and capabilities, like I said, go to upvote and learn about new selling channels, new features, all of that that I just went over a few minutes ago. What are the differences between API? By the way, we have a lot more than that Alejandra, like we can't list everything that we're working on, but the main things are where I just talked about. What are the differences between API and non-API and does it cause the account to get flagged? So it doesn't cause your account to get flagged. Guys, I'm really sorry, I'm gonna have to wrap this up but I'm gonna try to zip through this really quick. So we have an article on that, it's in me boys. Okay, API and non-API. The main difference is it's not gonna, it doesn't matter, both accounts are gonna get flagged sooner or later if you're using our retail drop shipping. Doesn't matter in terms of account suspensions, it's also the same. If you know how to work right, you can do it both, you can do it on both platforms. Non-API costs a little bit more and it doesn't have full automation because you have to have the extension on at all times. Once you turn off your computer, no more automation because eBay stopped working with the file exchange and it's just not that convenient, not that practical. I would say just go with API. How can I generate traffic to eBay? Items from AutoDS to eBay more than one week have not even one view, is that normal? Not normal, make sure that the account isn't good standing on eBay. And there's a few good things that you can do, you can add promoted listing standard, promoted listings advance. Okay, standard is when you give eBay a certain percentage and only after they make a sale promoting your products, they'll take that percentage from the transaction fee as a transaction fee. You also have promoted listings advance, which is eBay's PPC feature. So pay per click ads, you're gonna pay for every click, but this way you're gonna get great data on what products are interesting and what people are actually searching for to get to your product and lots more information there. And you can also use buyer sending offers, you can send offers yourself. There's much more tips and tricks. You can learn all about that on our blog page. We have an article on increasing eBay's sales. Let's, I don't have the time to search for it, but we have an article on it, eBay marketing strategy, something like that. All of the methods that I just talked about and more are listed there and how to do it. Hi, is Aqualine only used by dropshippers or anyone else using them? I think it's only dropshippers, I like to say import SaaS. I think it's only being used by dropshippers. Okay, question three, auto finder, are there plans to enhance this feature to allow users to control the category and other parameters, price range, reviews, et cetera. That's a great question, Alejandra. Can you ask it maybe in the, can you make a feature request, see if anyone made a feature request for that? I'm not sure if we have, not to my knowledge, if we have anything on that. Okay, if we're going to update that, but I've heard about it before, so I'm not sure. But not that I know of, okay? But you can always make a content request for that. But you can also use our product research tool. You can also use the finder, of course. It helps you find great products, like out of the bunch, but also use the product research tool. I'm sure that it'll help you. How can I manage Amazon packaging and dropshipping already went over that? I'm actually like moving to dropshipping a lot here, I don't think it's an interesting comment. Okay, I'd like to say that you guys have a chat between you guys too, that's good. What are the differences between API and non-API? It went over that. I don't mean videos, but live support. Yeah, I mean live support, Alejandra. So you're gonna have a video that will help you. And at the end of the video, you're gonna join a live session with me, where I'm gonna help you with everything that you need during the onboarding process. Okay, so what you actually said is something that we're actually working on, it's in progress. I'm interested in the live session with you. How do I schedule it? You'll know Alejandra, we're working, we're rolling out this feature. Okay, so the onboarding video is finished, and now we just need to create the whole of how it works around it and implement it inside the system and synchronize the live sessions and create the live sessions. And there's still some work to do, but we're on it. We're on it, it's a good idea. We've already thought about it. I'm glad that you thought about it too, because I know that that's one way of me knowing that people are actually looking for this feature, and you're gonna enjoy that soon. I hope to see you soon there. I would like to know if tomorrow it will be available as I said under, I really don't know, sorry. That's the technical stuff. That's the technical stuff, I know. Monthly subscription payments, annual one-time payment. You have both. You have monthly subscription payments, and you have annual one-time. You don't only have one. You can choose whatever you want. Nope, I don't ignore questions. I think I remember you from the previous one also. Hey guys, I'm not skipping out on anything. You guys should know me well enough by now when there'll be better tracking numbers since it fails enough these days. What do you mean? Tracking numbers are working quite well for me. Thanks for answering. My idea is to drop ship China to the US, nothing related to Colombia. So yeah, you can definitely do it, Kuan, but also do US to US. Okay, I know that you're looking for the cheap, cheap, cheap prices at China, and that's fine, but test the waters. Test China, test US, test more places. Okay, US is simply gonna give you really fast shipping. Okay, gonna wrap this up. What's the best thing to put for profit setting? I wish that there was one answer for the profit setting, but me personally, 15% break, even when I'm dropping from eBay with another 50% profit. Right now I raised all of my products below $25 to $150 to 200% profit so that I can fulfill them on my own, even using non-prime accounts, even if I have to pay $6 for shipping with 200% profit margin settings, you won't have any problem paying for that also, and also fulfilling those orders. But 15% and 50%, 15% break even and 50% profit margin is how that's how I roll with my stores. eBay listing promotion is good for giant sales in long-term. Mojure, I've been using promoted listings ever since I know myself, ever since I've been dropshipping on eBay, and I still have it on, like the same campaign for years has been running now. I only give eBay 2% by the way. It used to be 1%, but they recently upgraded it to 2% as a minimum, and that's what I give them because once your account is flagged, it doesn't matter if you give them 20% or 2%, you're pretty much gonna make the same amount of sales. So you might as well give them the minimum and try to get the maximum from that. Okay, so that's my strategy there. It is okay, it is. Thank you, all right. Guys, any more questions? Any more questions? I have an eBay user with three items and I requested a limit increase, but they told me that my account was marked because I buy from a third party to send to the product directly. How can I fix this? I address that in this live, okay? Please watch this live from the beginning. I address that same issue. Feature request, move drafts from one store eBay to another from Facebook. So a draft from eBay to a draft from Facebook or vice versa, this would save tons of time. If you could tell Autodesk where to publish a draft without having to reapply products. But Alejandro, you can do that on Autodesk. When you're adding products, Autodesk asks you what stores you wanna add these products to. And then you can select multiple stores. So you can add it to your Facebook store, to your eBay store, into your Shopify store. At the same time, you can only add it to one store, some stores. And yeah, that actually does exist. So let me know exactly, you don't have to re-upload products. Okay, so let me know if I misunderstood you there. Thank you for the update, you're welcome. Guys, but by the way, we're working on it, right? We're not just sitting on our hands a $25 issue for the fulfilled by Autodesk. I know that it's really important. I'm waiting for it on my stores too. Yeah, just be patient. Just be patient, we're gonna get it fixed. But you can also fulfill your orders by yourself, at least for the under $25 ones. That's what I'm doing with my accounts and it's working. Yeah. Is there a limit to listing products in eBay in a day? And is there a limit to the leading products in one day? Great questions, L, let me know if it's L or Ali. I just wanna say your name the right way. So there is no limit on eBay, but eBay does have a bot scanning to see what's going on. So if you raise any red flags, like if they see that you listed hundreds of products per day, like in one day, then they could suspend your account, not permanently, but temporarily, just to kind of get you on the phone and understand like what's going on, like is this a store? What's your business model? Are you doing something dangerous? You know, just to make sure that you can ship your products on time and that you know what you're doing and that it's not, you know, by mistake, that so many products were added during one day. But usually I have no problem adding 10, 20, 30, 50 products per day, but it really depends on your history with eBay. How long you've been selling for? If you have an established seller account, then it shouldn't be much of a problem. If it's a new account, limit it to about 10, 15 more products per day. Deleting products, same thing as adding products, I would say. I don't limit myself, but I also don't like jump way overboard because I don't want any surprises. Thank you so much. I appreciate, thank you. I also appreciate you saying thank you and appreciating it. What countries should I do dropshipping to and which not? For me, the best countries today to dropship to are the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Australia. I would say these are my top five. Okay, and check around. You'll see that these are the top five countries in terms of purchasing power every year in e-commerce sales and they keep purchasing more and more every year. So that would be my top five. Okay, okay. Thanks for answering. You're definitely welcome. I think we're gonna wrap it up. What countries should I dropship to and which not? We already answered that. How do you know if your ebay account has been flagged? You will notice, you get a message from them. It's really easy from their message. You missed using their item location policy or dropshipping policy if you're dropshipping from retailers. And that's it. They're still gonna keep your account alive but you'll notice a drop in views and sold listings. Of course you can avoid that. You can completely avoid that from happening if you're not dropshipping from retailers and if you're dropshipping from wholesalers and doing, you know, all of that. But even if you do get flagged and you have enough account limits, it doesn't really matter. That's the way that I'm doing it with my ebay stores. And yeah, the more listings you have, the better your product research. That's what matters at the end of the day. Okay, I think that's it. I think that's it. I think that was technical, right? For me this data tracking number is following any solutions. It's working for me. Fufuba AutoDS, what's a $25 limit? It's only sending temporary Alejandro. It's not really interesting at this point because by the time people are gonna watch this live in the future, it's not gonna be an issue anymore. But right now, Fufuba AutoDS only for Amazon works on orders over $25. Under $25, you can simply fulfill it yourself. You can also automatically fulfill it yourself using your buyer account on AutoDS. But yeah, that's just something really, really quick. Okay, I'm gonna end it up. Thank you guys for joining. Thank you, Lee. Thank you for saying good content. Guys, thank you for joining this live Q&A. I wish I would have had more time. Two weeks from now, I'm not gonna create it using the wrong links.
