I've got over five years of dropshipping experience still doing it to this day. And as you all know, I also, I am a part of the AutoDS system.

So once again, hello to everyone who is joining. Don't forget to drop your questions in the live chat and I will get to all of you. Okay, so just to make sure, guys, leave me a message if you're watching us on YouTube, leave me a message if you're watching us on Facebook and just let me know that everything works. You can hear me, you can see me and yep, let's get this party started. So what I usually do before I drop over to the questions and start answering all of your questions, comments, inquiries and so forth, is we always give you the chance to ask us questions before this live Q and A starts in our Facebook community. Hello to everyone who's joining. You can say hello, tell me your name, where you're from and of course what you need help with. My name is Liran, I currently reside in Israel and like I said, let's get this show on the road. So I'm gonna start off by answering the questions that you asked on Facebook community before this live Q and A started. Then I'll go over some of the, actually know at first I'll go over some of the new updates because I've got some actually some pretty exciting features that are about to come out in AutoDS and you're gonna be the first ones to hear about it by watching this live Q and A. Hello, it's Kayaki and hello, Sakeeb. All right, thank you for letting me know that everything works guys. Hello, Afiq Avi, I'm gonna get to you guys soon just to show you guys that I'm acknowledging you, I can see you guys and thank you also for the confirmation that everything is working fine. I had some technical issues in the last live Q and A so I was trying to make sure that I'm doing everything I can to avoid it happening again, which is what you should also do with your e-commerce businesses every time you go through some roadblock, some difficulty, whether it's a technical difficulty or some problem that you're having with your customer, learn from the mistakes and make it better for the next time. We all need these mistakes in order to learn from them. Hello, Raina G, I see all of you guys, I see that you guys are already starting to ask questions. Of course, I'm gonna address them soon just like I did in all of my previous lives. So what do we have coming up in AutoDS? Here is the biggest update that I now have permission to talk about it. So in next week, just next week, we have a new selling channel coming out. So as you guys know, we started, AutoDS started with eBay as a selling channel and we only had a few suppliers that we could drop ship from at the start. Today we have over 25 drop shipping suppliers that you can use to resell their products. Granted, some of them are retail suppliers and some of them are wholesale suppliers. Some of them are more drop shipping friendly, some of them are less. You wanna go to the less drop shipping friendly ones when you have more experience and you learn how to work with them and the more when you're just starting off and of course, you want everything to work smoothly. But in any case, you have all of the knowledge in our blog articles, all of the knowledge in our YouTube videos, youtube.youtube.com slash AutoDS. The blog page at autoDS.com slash blog. This, both of these channels are updating two to three times a week with new fresh content from the content team here at AutoDS. We're more than happy to share this value with you. We want to make sure you succeed because your success and ours is mutual. So what new selling channel is coming out next? As I said, we started with eBay. Then we rolled out with Shopify. Then we rolled out with Facebook Marketplace. Then we rolled out with Facebook Shop. So we're already at four selling channels and next week we're gonna roll out with the fifth. Does anybody in the chat wanna guess who the next selling channel is? What selling channel we're gonna support starting from next week with all over 25 plus dropshipping suppliers that you can dropship from them to this new selling channel. Anybody wanna take a guess? Let me know in the chat below what selling channel is coming out next week and I will reveal it in a few minutes from now. Okay, now remember, anything that you're asking in the live chat, make sure that it is not a technical thing or something that's not working for you inside the AutoDS system itself because for that we have live chat support representative. So open up a support ticket, wait for them to get back to you and believe me, everything will get resolved. I also open up tickets every time there's a problem now and then, every time there's a bug that pops up every now and then and I just act like a regular customer. Like nobody in the support knows that it's me, the content manager at AutoDS opening up a ticket because I also wanted to work this way because I want to see, I want to experience what the customer is experiencing because like you know, I was a customer once at AutoDS and I still of course have my drop shipping stores and I'm using AutoDS to automate it. So did anybody guess what selling channel is coming out next week? Anybody wanna know? So that's one update that's coming out and the selling channel is WooCommerce. So WooCommerce is coming out next week. Anyone who wanted to drop ship on WooCommerce next week is your time to connect your WooCommerce store to AutoDS and enjoy drop shipping automation whether it's price and stock monitoring, order automation, quick product importing and so much more price automation, so much more that we have going on inside the system. Enjoy that. You now know it before anyone else because you joined this live Q&A. Okay, I can see you guys asking questions. That's great. I'm gonna get to all of that soon. Now let's move over to the Facebook community page. I'm gonna answer those questions first and then I'll move over to the live chat. All right, so I'm gonna share my screen and we're gonna begin. Hello to everyone who's joined the live Q&A right now. You have more than enough time to ask your questions in the live chat and I will address it in this very live Q&A session. Okay, I'm gonna share my screen now guys and we're gonna start with the live Q&A questions on the Facebook community of course group before this live started. We always give you the chance to ask questions before and here we go. So I see someone named Sagar M is asking a lot of questions here. So yeah, Mr. Sagar, I hope that you're here because I'm gonna answer your questions and if you're not here then I guess you just pretty much wasted your time asking all these questions without getting an answer but hey, at least everyone who's joining the live Q&A is gonna get answers to your questions and then I'm gonna answer their questions too. Hello Christina, hello Reina, hello IC Deadpool, hello Men's Daily Advice and Encouragement Channel. I hope that you got some good advice and good inspiration there. Hello Importadora and yeah, I'm gonna answer you guys soon, so hello to everyone and let's see the questions that we had before this live started. Currently we have imported products and we're gonna zoom in for those of you who cannot see it really well. Currently we have imported products from Amazon USA to eBay. Now we can also import, now can we also import products from AliExpress to eBay? I mean, if we import products from both marketplace at the same time there will be any ban issue because an Amazon product dropship from USA and an AliExpress worship from China so using two marketplace at the same time isn't making any issues we're using auto order service from you and in Aquiline tracking conversions. Okay, great. Cigar, it's a good question. So first of all, and any of you guys who are asking me questions in the live chat right now make sure that when you ask me a question let me know what selling channel you're asking or what selling channel you're dropshipping on and what suppliers you're using, what regions you're dropshipping from into and that will help me form a much better and more precise answer to your questions. So regarding the marketplaces and also by the way guys, if you're dropshipping on eBay let me know what your account selling limits are. If I know your selling limits I'll also know what your capabilities are. So Cigar, I'm going to take into consideration that you have lots of selling limits and you have no problem listing new items on eBay. So in this case, you can list from Amazon you can list from AliExpress. eBay is not gonna ban you because you're listing from several places from several regions or several warehouses in one country or another. They will however, ban your account give you at least a temporary ban a temporary suspension and a permanent one if you keep it up, if you abuse their item location policy and what I mean by this is if you're importing a product inside eBay you have the product listing there you have the item location. Now it's okay to put a zip code that's connected to the item location that's anywhere around it but if you're not telling the truth about the country that the product is being shipped from for example, if you're shipping from if this product you're uploading it from you're importing it from Amazon US and you know that the warehouse is of course coming out from the US. Let's take the other example which is what a lot of inexperienced dropshippers do they import a product from AliExpress China but they don't want buyers to know that it's coming from China because the buyers are gonna have to wait a long time for it to arrive especially if they're not from China which in most cases they're not so they have to wait for the shipment to come in from China meaning they're gonna have to wait a long time most buyers do not want to wait but more than that many buyers I mean they simply don't if they think the product is coming from the US they definitely don't wanna see it coming from China. So many inexperienced dropshippers what they do is they import a product from AliExpress and inside the eBay product listing they say that the product is being sourced from the US and when that product sells and you upload tracking information eBay will see that the tracking is coming from it's originating from China and not from the US like it specified inside the item listing on eBay and here the robot is going to pretty much take down your account after giving you a few warnings that you are reaching their item location policy. So you can drop ship from different locations just make sure Mr. Sagar M that you are specifying the right item location where the item is coming out from if it's coming from the US say that it's coming from the US if it's coming from China, don't lie say that it's coming from China once you give your customers full clarity you're not gonna have any problems you're going to significantly reduce the amount of issues or cases that you'll have with your buyers. Okay, so you definitely can do it just do it carefully hello to everyone who's joining the live Q&A I'm answering some questions that people asked in the Facebook community and then I'll get to your questions in the live chat hello to everyone who just joined hello Katerina hello BJ Schultz hello Kagri and yeah, okay let's continue with the questions how to find best selling products that will sell in any season I mean no matter what festival is running that product will sell the entire year another great question Mr. Sagar so my store is really split into two it's about 70 to 75% evergreen products and for those of you who are wondering what evergreen means it's products that simply sell all year long they're not seasonal they don't sell only like in the summer or only in the winter but they actually sell all year long like for example replacement parts for your washing machine or for anything in your house that's working all year long that's gonna work great all it's gonna be an evergreen product so to find best selling products that will sell all year long for that you're gonna have to go to products you're gonna have to search your suppliers for products that are simply not seasonal so don't sell products that are for Christmas don't sell products that they have no idea why it looks like the server from the streaming software just stopped working I can also see that the chat pretty much disappeared but I can still see the chat from YouTube so I will try to answer your guys questions from there so sorry about that technical drawback but we can definitely get back to the live Q&A right now I can see that it's working let me just hop over to our YouTube channel you see that it's not just me yeah I can see myself okay yeah so we're back now guys sorry about that just a technical difficulty on their server side but yeah now we're back so go back to asking your questions in the live chat box and I'm gonna answer them very very soon I don't like technical difficulties but it's something that we have to put up with so I can see people are joining the live Q&A again people are starting to join so yeah happy to have you guys back welcome back sorry about that technical difficulty I was just in the middle of answering another question from the Facebook community group so let me share my screen and get back to that yes I've returned sorry about that all right so I'm gonna share my screen so I was answering I answered the first question now I'm on the second one how to find best-selling products that will sell in any season in meaning evergreen products how do we find them how do we find these products how do we know that they're evergreen of course and how do we know that they're gonna sell well now there are many product research methods okay you can search dropshipping suppliers best seller sections and new arrivals and see what's going on there then you take those products and you search for them on your selling channel now in this example the one who's asking the question Mr. Sagar who's not even here in the live to see the answers but everyone else is gonna benefit from his answers so he wants to know the best ways to find these products and one of the ways to do it is to simply I can tell that he's dropshipping on eBay so you simply take that product from your suppliers website search for it on eBay and see if it's selling okay that is the very basic and manual way to do it you can use AutoDS's product research tool so anyone who has AutoDS you already have free access to the product research tool just switch from platform to the product research go to the best hot selling products we're gonna also add private suppliers there soon so you're gonna have exclusive access to them differentiating yourself from the rest of the competition and from there you're gonna also find a lots of trending items best sellers you can import them quickly to your stores you can go to your suppliers and import more products similar to them and of course do that for products that are selling well for you so if a product is selling well look for more variations of that product using your suppliers add them to your stores and watch them sell also but basically there are you can also use paid tools right you can use Zik Analytics and other tools that are available out there but if you wanna keep it free it requires more work but you will get more results you will put more hours in and it will pay off at the end of the day let me just show you a quick example okay I'm gonna share my screen hello to everyone by the way who's joining hello Shai Ohayun hello Gio Rayton Lamps so I got all your guys questions from before the live froze and I'm gonna answer all of you guys questions from after the live came back I'm gonna make sure that we have enough time for all of that we still have more than 30 minutes left in this live Q&A so yeah let's keep this going so how do we find the best selling products let's open up eBay because that is the selling channel whoever asked that question and let's go to Amazon just to get product ideas you don't have to use them as a supplier but you can use them to get product ideas because they simply have a large database lots of proof on what's selling what's working and what's not so what we're gonna do here is on Amazon click on bestsellers okay then we've got all these categories on the left side I wanna choose a suitable category for the dropshipping business model and one of my personal favorites can be is home and kitchen, kitchen and dining office products patio lawn and garden pet supplies in this case let's go with pet supplies okay so now I'm looking at bestsellers in the pet supplies category then we've got more subcategories like birds, cats, dogs but let's keep it general for now so I'm gonna stay here and I'm gonna scroll down a little bit because everything on the front page is really really gonna be it's gonna be much much harder to sell you can just you know 109,000 feedbacks these products are gonna be much much harder to sell but what you're gonna do here is move over to the next page they only have two pages here so it's not a lot it's a lot of pet food and that's not exactly what I'm going for so I am going to click on a subcategory let's go with dogs and then here let's go with beds and furniture let's go with beds and furniture let's see what dog bed has been trending recently okay so we've got all of these beds right here I'm just gonna scroll down a bit and move over from the ones that have 70,000, 20,000 reviews I wanna look for something that's unique something that doesn't look repetitive as you scroll and these stairs are pretty cool but also lots of reviews so okay let's just jump over to a different page we're looking at best sellers so of course we're gonna see all these reviews but we're still looking for something that's a little bit different than what's repetitive so check out this one right here so this is kind of like a couch that's coming down like as a I like this product, let's see calming dog bed fluffy plush dog mat for furniture protector with removable washable cover for large, medium, small dogs and cats so the seller here tried to get all of the keywords that people are searching for but you can see that this dog bed looks different than the usual dog bed that you look for so let's dive in a little bit deeper into this by the way guys, Prime if you have Amazon Prime and you're using Amazon as your supplier there's a lot of discounts right now so for example, this product usually costs $60 right now it's a Prime exclusive deal for $48 okay so what I'm gonna do is I'm simply gonna take the main keywords from the title so calming dog bed, fluffy plush dog mat for furniture protector it's not really grammatically correct but let's just take that title because I wanna see who else is selling this product so now I'm on eBay where I'm actually selling at my ship to is the US because that is the country that I'm targeting then I'm gonna search for this product now let's see if anyone is selling it so yeah so we have a few sellers right here so we know on Amazon that right now it costs $48 and let's see the variations that we have so this one is shipping from China that's not relevant we need to see only US so what you're gonna do on the left side is you're gonna filter two things one is US only because right now we're targeting only the US market we don't care about what's happening from products being sourced from China because that's not what we're doing you can sell the product at a more expensive price when you are drop shipping from into the US as opposed to China to the US another filter on the left side is sold items we only wanna see the listings that actually sold so I'm gonna click on that and it automatically clicks in completed items so I'm going to unclick that because I don't wanna see products that are out of stock and they've been completed they're not active anymore okay so I'm going to unclick completed items and make sure that it, no now it only has completed so we're gonna click on sold now we're going to unclick on completed so now we've got US only sold items now check it out this dog bed is the same one that we're seeing here maybe it's not the same size I'm not sure I haven't checked it out yet but this one is free shipping from the US I don't know if it's the same exact one but let's continue from now so this one sold on October 9th a few days ago this one sold on October 10th this one sold on October 11th but it's not the same one this one is though let's see what else we've got here so we've got, yeah we only have a couple of sellers who are selling it so here you have room to sell a product that has lots of good sales that is not being saturated on eBay at least not just yet now don't worry about the prices okay, you can list the item put the price that you want let's see what resolutions what variations we have here so this is the large 45 inch okay so let's choose the same one here so here we want large wood zipper it's not the same one it's not the same product and it's not the same dimension so the price doesn't really matter but you can see that this guy sold it 89 times okay let's go to the other listing that we had so it's this guy right here he also doesn't have a 45 inch here he only has a 41.3 so this means in other words that now you can sell this product and you'll be the only one selling it so I just found a product for you from just doing five minutes of product research a proven item that is selling really well that nobody's selling on eBay US right now so now is your chance to add this product and that is just one quick example of how to do product research how I do it on my stores how I've been doing it for the last several years and this is one of the best working methods and it's only one method now I don't have time to show you guys more product research methods but that is one of my favorite right there let's continue with the questions I'm gonna move over to the live chat soon Sagar you asked too many questions and I don't really see you on the live right now so let me just choose what I'm gonna answer then I'm gonna go to the people who are actually here and asking questions and waiting for my answer I'm just gonna answer them quick I have two different eBay accounts one account is eBay USA I added that to an AutoDS now another one is eBay UK can I add that account also on AutoDS at the same time yes you can add I don't think there's a limit to the amount of accounts that you can add on your AutoDS account in terms of stores actually there is you have it in your subscription plan but there's a lot you're not gonna fill it up and yes you can do it from different regions you can add UK, US, Australia, Canada all the regions that we support you can add it to AutoDS all simultaneously and view all of that dashboard and all of the settings from one screen so it's gonna make it really easy for you how much percentage promotion you will suggest do we go with the suggested ad rate no do not go I'm not even sharing my screen, sorry guys how much percentage promotion will you suggest do we go with the suggested ad rate we definitely do not go with the suggested ad rate on eBay it's really really high and that's because they wanna take your money I give eBay 2% it used to be only 1% I used to give them 5% I used to give them 10% and then I realized that 1% is pretty much the same I mean usually if they give if you promote your products more then you're gonna get less organic traffic and I'd rather have more organic traffic and less promoted so I used to give them 1% in the last couple of months eBay sent an update that you cannot add you cannot have 1% anymore now they up to a minimum of 2% so I'm just giving 2% promoted on the promoted listing standard of course you also have the promoted listings advanced feature which is eBay's new PPC feature we have an article on how it works if you don't know how it works I showed you how I did it on my accounts and you can also use that but there you're paying for every click you're gonna get better you're gonna get more audiences to watch your product but if you're not targeting it the right way then you're gonna waste your money but if you are targeting it the right way then the scalability is pretty much endless what is the meaning of share hello to everyone who's joining the live Q&A I'm just gonna finish answering the questions in the community that people ask before the live and then I'm gonna go over to your questions in the live chat I see all your guys' questions I'm gonna get to it soon what is the meaning of one option in AutoDS please give us a brief introduction of that option what do you mean one option benefits and losses also allow marketplace sellers allow marketplace sellers simply allows you to sell products to have them in stock even if they go for example out of Prime or out of the Walmart plus program if you're dropshipping from Walmart so if for example you're dropshipping from Amazon and you don't care if the product is Prime or not even if it goes out of Prime you still want it to be in stock then you'll allow marketplace sellers and then when a third-party seller sells the same product that went out of stock it'll stay in stock in your store because you're using marketplace sellers when we try to follow your steps for set up Aliexpress Store there's one line that says we use Aliexpress ePacket service when we open we check all the carry options yeah ePacket you're looking at an old article we have much more up-to-date articles there's no ePacket anymore but there's other ones there's CI now something like that and there's Aliexpress standard shipping and others that you can use apart from Amazon and Walmart please suggest US-based platform any platform for dropship you mean as using as a supplier so for that what I suggest to do is head over to autoDS.com and you've got the suppliers link right here on the top I'm gonna click on suppliers and here you've got all the suppliers that we support today what you're gonna do is click on USA right here then you'll see all of the US suppliers so besides Amazon and Walmart you've got Aliexpress who has warehouses in the US same for Banggood CJ Dropshipping with warehouses in the US you've got the Home Depot based in the US Etsy eBay you can use eBay as your supplier as long as it's not your selling channel Costco Wayfarer Overstock Lowe's Target what else what else Costway Wholesale Costway Shipping Worldwide Sam's Club ViDoc Sell Gearbest Alibaba with warehouses in the US Redbubble Mini in the box Light in the box Pure Formulas Kmart and DHgate so all these suppliers you can use today on Autodesk ship from the US to the US or from the US to anywhere else that you want and that should answer your question okay can I use Australian mobile number for eBay USA? you can try you can try Lucky but mainly eBay if you're opening a no actually yeah you can I'm using an Israeli number on my eBay USA account you just passed a phone verification and that pretty much settles it eBay allows you to be an international seller guys they have no problem with that whatsoever hello to everyone who's joining the live Q&A I'm glad to see this amount of people inside the live even after we had a technical difficulty and all of my viewers dropped down to zero and now it's back up again so thanks you to everyone who's joining let me know what you need help with what you want to know I'm going to start answering the questions from the live chat right now first I'm going to start with the questions that you guys asked YouTube because let me stop doing my own live because at some point I had a technical difficulty the streaming software disconnected so I lost all of the chat from the streaming software so I'm going to start from YouTube then I'll move over to the streaming software but in any case you guys will be able to see the questions it'll just be much more comfortable if I would have had it all through the streaming software okay so I'm going to share my screen I'm going to zoom in on the questions and let's begin guys you still have time to ask your questions hello Spencer, hello Angela, hello Shahriar hello Miss Subhasta you guys didn't say hello to me but I'm going to say hello to you hello GEO, Rayton Lambs hello Ali Arsila I think I remember you from the last live Leo Georgia, Bishal hello to everyone, hello all right I'm going to answer you guys right now let's go okay I zoomed in too much so I can't really see the question okay hi from YouTube everything is good here hi buddy, yes all good mate thank you guys for the clarification hello Afiq Avvi from Israel running a jewelry store need help in pricing how do I price my products first of all let's see if we already published a jewelry article let's go to the blog so resources on auto.ts and click on dropshipping blog here we're going to search for the term jewelry if we have it this is a jewelry in the UK here we go top 10 best jewelry products to sell in 2022 so first of all Ofeq was that your name? I want you to take a look at this blog article right here and see what are the best jewelry products to just get 10 jewelry product ideas okay start with that besides that what is the price that you should be that was your question right regarding how much you should price it you need to test it out Avvi you need to test it out you need to start with a profit margin of 20% once you start making sales on those products that actually sell raise their price some more you also have a feature in auto.ts to help you with this so it's called the price automation feature and I'm sure that this will help you find the sweet spot for pricing your products what the price automation feature does is it tells you okay every time a product sells then auto.ts will raise the price by a little bit by however much you want up to a certain maximum and if it doesn't sell for a certain amount of time that you configure then auto.ts will also drop the price of the product down to a certain limit so that you won't end up losing any money if you sell it and this way you'll find the sweet spot of the perfect profitability point where the product will continue selling and you will keep making the maximum amount of profit that will help you understand first of all what should be your prices if you want to do it a different way without price automation then simply start with 15-20% of profit if you're making sales raise your prices when you stop making sales lower the prices but that's why you need the price automation feature it's just going to do that automatically for you and you won't have to deal with it manually on the second hand you can also see what your competitors are doing but take that with a grain of salt what your competitors are doing does not show you what's going to happen in your business you may not be targeting the same audiences you may not be using the same ads you may not be using the same creatives you may be selling you may have good cross-selling and up-selling techniques that your competitors don't have so the customer will choose you or maybe it's the other way around so take that with a grain of salt see what they're doing make sure that you're doing it better than them make sure that you're offering something different something with more value and then you can also be more expensive than your competitors but it is also good to know what's going on there and yeah, that's my top advice for to know exactly how to price your products without seeing what the product is and without seeing your store and trying to keep it general but also specific Canada has shipping options Hi, Reina yeah, sure, what do you mean? Where are you from? Canada? USA? No, I used to live in the USA today I live in Israel I see Deadpool I'm having horrible troubles with my account I feel like I'm on the live chat trying to fix issues more than the system can you help? Only through tickets I see Deadpool but whatever problem you're having believe me, you open up those tickets you get help same way that I do it and that's why we've been working for the last five to six years and yeah, we're always trying to improve it so just open up a support ticket or reply to that and see the status there how much on average a person may make with 200 listings on eBay? Mr. Ahmed Yusif, not too much not too much when I had 200 listings on my eBay store I was making a very small number of sales not enough to even say that, wow, I'm profiting it's nice to make sales but you also want to profit really on point you want to be in the few thousands at least in the few thousands to make significant sales and profits it's a numbers game that's the way it always has worked on eBay I still haven't opened tickets I'm sorry, I see Deadpool I can't help you with that but you will get help I feel like you I see Deadpool having trouble as well I'm having trouble with Facebook I can't help you with that guys like I don't know what the problem is but anyway, like I said technical issues need to go to the support I have a very old account on Facebook Marketplace but I do not have shipping option I'm from Canada Reyna, that's what you meant from the shipping option you're not going to have shipping options from Canada guys, that's why I always say to tell me where you're dropping from and to so then I'll understand your question you mean shipping options on Facebook Marketplace so you have to have a US IP address and your account needs to be based in the US and even more than that when you reach $599 in sales you're also going to have to pass through an SSN verification so for dropshipping on Facebook Marketplace it'll be really easy for you if you were a US citizen residing in the US or at least if you know someone who's doing that who can let you borrow or use their account of course with their permission and then you can dropship on a Facebook Marketplace using VPNs it's dropshipping in Canada on eBay allowed with retail suppliers hello Christina, wait so I'm not sure if you guys can see these questions sooner guys are going to see the questions better but right now I just have to share my screen with this YouTube chat right here because I got disconnected uh okay so we were we didn't even make it down here wait I need to zoom out sorry it's tricky okay it's dropshipping on Canada on eBay allowed with retail suppliers so eBay supports dropshipping from wholesale suppliers where you also have contracts with them now they will not check every single account and many accounts will you know survive years without having to show contracts just like my accounts and many more that I know of if it's a new account you're going to have to be careful with retail dropshipping right from the bat it's better to start with items that you have at home get in contact with eBay and have them increase your limits as high as possible and do that a few times until you can list a few thousand items and then you can start with retail dropshipping it'll be much easier for you and you know you won't have any limits on your account that won't allow you to grow so that should answer your question regarding retail suppliers dropshipping in Canada is still worthwhile there are less account suspensions than there are on the US same thing for Australia so yeah that should answer you right there would we have to fund all of our items when you first start dropshipping with eBay on the express to get the orders fulfilled since each platform puts a hold on the money received yeah so platforms usually marketplaces they will put your funds on hold when you have new seller accounts so yeah you're gonna have to buy you're gonna have to use your own budget to process the first few or the first several orders but once you start receiving the payouts then the cash flow will you know stay inside and you won't have to purchase the items using your money anymore and of course with this cash flow every time you have profit you're going to withdraw that to your bank account while keeping a cash flow inside to still be able to purchase products this is a problem that many people have in the beginning but you know you can easily overcome it after a few weeks or a couple months if you're working slower hi I had a lot of sales this week 307 days that's really nice that's really great and now Amazon has suspended the accounts I used to make purchases and you're fulfilled by AutoDS has only made me five purchases yesterday what can I do how can you help me I will have to cancel all sales on eBay I'm afraid that they will suspend me first of all in Portadora 300 sales in seven days is great I hope that you're making some good profits there and that you're not working at like a 5% profit margin like some people what you can do here first of all the fact that you try to process all of these orders under one Amazon account was your first mistake but you're going to have to have several accounts and process a few orders from every account per day besides that you really need to the fulfilled by AutoDS service currently handles three to five orders per day but we did lift the limit of the $25 order limit which we had for a couple weeks a lot of people were asking about that also in my last slide what are we going to lift that cap and we lifted it but right now we're limiting to three orders per day but it's going to also be lifted in a couple days from now and then you'll be able to process all your orders but for now open up multiple accounts all multiple Amazon accounts with different IPs not from the same router not from the same computer and you can use multi-login for that as one example and process your orders slowly and carefully it's better not to cancel your orders on eBay because you can risk account suspension if you have too much order cancellations let's see fulfilled by AutoDS does it recognize discount boxes for products when ordering on Amazon to eBay discount boxes you mean no it doesn't it doesn't click in the if you have a promotion on the product on Amazon right now unfortunately it does not work how about lifting up the limits of the product listing on each package Katerina I have no control over that but that is a feature request or a content not content but a system request that you can add inside the AutoDS system so you have the internal upvoting system you can create a vote for that tell them how much you think should be in each package and of course if you have a lot of votes for that then we will move it to progress let's see what is the best supplier did Amazon suspend your account because of AutoDS Amazon cannot know that you have AutoDS so that really does not make sense that question and also eBay doesn't ban because AutoDS guys AutoDS is a approved API on eBay if it wasn't approved then eBay would just ban the whole API and nobody would have AutoDS in the first place it's been working for years it's not going to stop working it all depends on what you are doing what actions you are taking in your e-commerce business that will be the decider if your account is going to survive in that marketplace or not hi there I'm an existing customer of AutoDS what is the order progress why is the order progress too long I'm stuck with many orders I also have orders they're being processed slowly but surely we just lifted off that $25 cap but guys technical questions please leave that for the support as I said what would be the max someone can have an increase to sell what would be the max someone can have an increase in sell from month to month to not get MCO11 for too much fast and sell okay so how fast can you grow manual that's what you're asking in other questions in other words eBay anyway is going to make you grow slowly if you're drop shipping on eBay you're only starting with five to ten items with like a $500 cap limit for sales and listing so you won't really be able to make that much sales anyway in the first place but if you have an age season account that hasn't sold yet and you have like a few thousand listings and you don't want to upload a few thousand listings in one day so your limit should be 20, 30 items in a day and you should definitely be fine from there did his live freeze that's the next question that is when my life froze and now I can move over to the regular live chat let me just make sure let's see when it started we started from the question can I use Walmart plus that's from Muhammad let's see what that question is that question is here okay so I still have a few more questions here before moving on to that okay let's continue and then I'll move over to the regular live chat okay when uploading products from Amazon to AutoDS does the images does the metadata on the images is it removed automatically the answer is yes Kaggle I can see that you answered really nice I think yes I heard AutoDS saves the images to its own servers that's correct the meta description the meta data for the images do not get passed on from one platform to another who do you deal with exchanges on AutoDS what do you mean Marvin on exchanges I have a hundred sales in Amazon block the user with which I buy it won't let me create more I'm using fulfilled by AutoDS but only three purchases per day what do I do with the sales I made are you the one that I answered before but anyway it's the same answer so of course if you're going to have a hundred sales Amazon is going to block it if you're trying to process a hundred orders per day you need to have a few Amazon accounts you can use multi login for example to host multiple Amazon accounts without one being able to trace the other and of course use a credit card or gift cards not discounted gift cards because Amazon doesn't really like them best to use credit card and yeah just split up your purchases do about five orders per day from each account you shouldn't have any problem and yeah let me know if that helped you buffering yeah when I had that problem repair not for the amount of purchases that I was making can I use Walmart okay so I finished going over the questions I'm going from before before the live one into technical difficulties hello to everyone who's just joining the live Q&A let me see how much time we have less than 10 minutes left this is your last chance to ask questions and still get answers I'm going to start right now I'm going to continue right now can I use Walmart plus for dropshipping the ebay as I heard wait let me just put it here as I heard that if I use Walmart plus I get banned from Walmart Muhammad yeah don't use Walmart plus just use the regular Walmart just process your orders from Walmart regularly and there shouldn't be any problem you can also use fulfill by autodesk for Walmart there's no account blocks there's no problems there so that works pretty much very very smooth so yeah but Walmart plus is a problem when you have multiple orders per day okay he's returned yes I did thank you for noticing the buffering stopped that was that was annoying though how high I would like to know how to set up shipping for Shopify store Vishal great question I won't have time to demonstrate it but I will show you how you can get your answer so what you're going to do is head over to autodesk.com and here you've got resources so you're going to hover over resources and click on yeah drop shipping courses where's the courses right here resources drop

another and how to set up your shipping from your item location shipping to and so far so everything is free inside this course I hope that you'll enjoy that and get the information that you need do you still suggest AliExpress as a supplier for eBay drop shipping yeah but less like you can use AliExpress as an add-on but don't use them as your main go-to supplier because they will let you down when there are Chinese holidays they will let you down in other types of cases that there's no reason to just go over it now but it definitely shouldn't be your main supplier it should be the extra bonus is it safe to use Amazon as a supplier and using Autodesk to enter the tracking number it's safe up to a certain extent you shouldn't use Amazon as your main supplier anymore those times unfortunately are pretty much over it doesn't yet you can't use Amazon as your supplier but if you have hundreds of orders per day or a hundred orders per day or even 50 orders per day it's not going to be easy to fulfill them we are upgrading the fulfillment out of the service of course it used to work off flawlessly for a while and we're still looking for workarounds you can also have your own Amazon buyer accounts right now I'm currently spreading my Amazon orders to some of them for the fulfillment out of the service and some of them I'm simply fulfilling by myself you can also connect the automatic orders not fulfilled by Autodesk using your buyer accounts connect your Amazon buyer account limited to three to five per day and you can also you know semi-automate some of that but don't have that as your main supplier anymore because it's going to be very difficult to process and fulfill orders how do you run when Autodesk will be added aqua line tracking numbers to suppliers like Home Depot or Walmart and if the numbers can be converted when using my accounts in case I place orders manually thanks okay so Shai I'm going to start from the end if you're use if you're manually processing orders then you can't use the tracking conversions however if you're using even the semi-automatic orders which is using your buyer accounts instead of fulfill by Autodesk which is pretty much the same instead of you fulfilling the orders the system can do it for you using your buyer accounts and in that case you can have tracking conversions with aqua line when can we add it to suppliers like Home Depot or Walmart for that again I highly suggest to use the upvoting system inside Autodesk create an up first search to see if anybody created a vote for that if not create yours and we will move it forward when we have enough votes if we see that a lot of people are looking for that feature I would like to know how to set up shipping on Autodesk for Shopify store so I just answered that by the way guys I don't know if you are here in the beginning of the live Q&M I'm going to spoil you guys with this info too so next week we're going to roll out with WooCommerce you know it now before anyone else before thousands of thousands of people so next week WooCommerce is going to be a supported selling channel on Autodesk so now not only do we have eBay, Shopify Facebook Marketplace Facebook shops and Wix but now we're also going to roll out with WooCommerce coming next week enjoy that for whoever was waiting with it enjoy automating your business starting from next week is Autodesk marketplace still open how can users access it the marketplace you mean the the product research tool where soon we're going to add private suppliers there it wasn't available yet but it's something that we're going to roll out soon or do you mean the VA the virtual assistant marketplace the post that we have on Facebook it's still there I'm not sure exactly what you meant but I'm going to move on for now I would like to know when Shane products will be processed by fulfilled by Autodesk hello LRC I remember you from the previous lives that's a good question I'm not sure if it's being planned but you can search for it like I said in the Upvotee system on Autodesk see if there's a vote for it if not create your own and once you have enough votes for that then of course we're going to roll that out to the developers what would be the max someone can have an increase in sales from month to month to not get I already answered that one will eBay flag new sellers for using retail marketplaces for drop shipping the answer is yes that is why I always suggest upgrade your limits as much as possible before that happens so that once that happens you won't really care just like I don't care my eBay stores because I have enough limits to sell even with a flagged account will Autodesk get your account flagged on eBay if some people claim that happening it's like I said it's not because of Autodesk you can not use Autodesk still use retail drop shipping and then you'll see that your account is going to get flagged Autodesk is just an API tool that's of course approved by eBay and there's no problem with that and another important question is there any monthly limit where I should stop increasing the amount of sales per month now you shouldn't guys scaling your business is good and you shouldn't look for ways to stop scaling you should look for ways to continue support the scaling process and continue growing that's what we're all looking to do right we're looking to profit more we're not looking to stop the profits or say okay I'm making $2,000 a month profit that's enough for me there's no reason to you know up that to five or to 10 there shouldn't be a limit just every time you feel like a limit is coming look for a workaround learn about it implement it slowly and carefully and you will continue enjoying growth unfortunately I saw 200 items last week and now I have no way to order them AutoDS is very slow and order only ordered five items yesterday right guys remember in the previous live Q&A many were complaining that we do not process orders under $25 now that you know we lifted that that problem doesn't exist anymore but we do have the limit of about three to five orders per day per account but yeah in a few days that's going to be uplifted too and there will be no more limits on your accounts guys just a little bit more patience and learning workarounds I will have to cancel all the sales I'm afraid you will suspend me can you give me any ideas what can I do yes reach out to your customers don't cancel your orders let them know that there's a shipping delay to their area and you're doing everything that you can to get it back on track and you'll update them as soon as possible and if they message you back saying hey now you know what just cancel my order then you can cancel the order and choose the option buyer asked to cancel this order because the buyer really asked and then eBay won't tell you hey you're abusing the buyer asked not to the buyer asked to cancel the order option this way you're not abusing it because you're getting the buyer to tell you to refund you but in most cases the buyers will tell you hey thanks for letting me know no problem I'll wait and you know when the service will get more than five then of course you'll be able to process that order or when that time comes to process it I'm confused about extra charges I have been I have been asked for a part from 49 dollars what what are you talking about the shock we are what extra charges and what 49 dollars can you give me a live opinion on my side of course I can Spencer but I doubt that we'll have time to do it right now but please join the next live Q&A at it in the beginning of the live and we'll go over it if you want in front of everyone or you can just yeah actually that's the best way to do it I'm with Spencer on this me too Spencer send your star in the next live hello Iran hello G or G so can we use someone else can we use someone else eBay to source from yes you can you can use eBay as your supplier if it is not your selling channel you can use eBay as your supplier and also your selling channel because when the eBay seller will provide you the tracking number for your order you won't be able to add that to your eBay order because then eBay will tell you hey we already have that tracking number in our system and then you won't be able to provide tracking which is not good for your eBay seller account do you recommend using customized products for example t-shirts, cups, glasses, pajamas etc. I've never done it because I don't know how to manage time you can but you won't be able to automate your business when it's when everything is customized because you're going to have to customize every order according to what the customer wants or you'll have to work on designs purchase inventory and then sell it from the inventory and and you know hope that it'll it'll all sell so that you know the money won't go to waste for a beginner Ali you haven't told me even on the last live if that's how to pronounce your name for starters just start with basic dropshipping learn the ropes learn the markets and then decide if you want to go to the print on demand business model which we have a lot of content on on our blog page and on our youtube channel that you can feel free to check out we're still here and waiting for our questions from earlier above well hopefully you're not answering any you're hopefully you're not waiting anymore because I already answered them is there any possibility to add ierb as a supplier make a content request we added most of our suppliers from the content request from the upvoting system do you recommend uploading products with variations or is it better to split the variations as independent articles great questions today Ali Arsila some products are good with variations some products are good as standalone but in my case especially when dropshipping in places like ebay I like to split every variation into its own product because then you can have another title so then you're taking you know you have more keywords on ebay search engine and you have more images because each listing is going to show a different image instead of one listing showing one image of one of the variations and on and then only after you click you see the rest of the images which isn't as good so my strategy is usually to split it into its own product listing I am confused about the extra charges they have email like guys I what extra charges recurring charges will not apply until after the free trial period $8 for the order processor once the trial ends you will be charged $40 for every day and then up to 200 I really have no idea so please ask the support about that about pricing will you be able to add debit card to the payments and auto DS if I want to add money to the wallet it's really difficult without using payoneer or credit card I'm from Sri Lanka so making debit card okay that's also a request that you can make on the upvotee system the reason that we also added credit card to the to top up your balance or to pay for your bills is because many people requested it so make a request for debit card and of course if we have enough votes we will move that forward okay we're gonna have to wrap it up guys $2,000 us in usage charges if you cancel before to another current charge will not apply that doesn't make sense just open up a support ticket you won't get charged for anything that you're not supposed to the enable to pay would be perfect yeah so I already answered that okay how to get stripe accounts where do you live guys I can't answer such general questions will autodesk amazon managed orders will be back in full scale or autodesk give it up nah if we want to give it up we would have done it already we're not going to give anything up what can I do with the orders I have on ebay that I can fulfill what do you advise me to do on ebay how do I cancel them no don't cancel them use the advice that I gave a couple minutes ago send the message to all of your buyers who are going to wait let them know about the expected delays apologize be sincere most of them will tell you that they have no problem to wait and the sum that will tell you that they would rather have their money back send them the money back cancel the order on ebay saying that the buyer asked to cancel and ebay will not suspend your account telling you that you have used that option because the buyers did ask you to cancel their orders I'm using chain as a supplier do you recommend that the shipments be free or that the client can see the cost of the shipment of 399 I love your questions I can see that you're somewhere in the beginning of your dropshipping journey and I really will do my best to help you L it's best to offer free shipping to your buyers even if your supplier is charging you for shipping autodesk you know can round up that number into the source price that way you'll be able to offer free shipping to your buyers and I highly recommend to do that Autodesk support etsy uploading as a marketplace yes to be listed uploading items to etsy not to using etsy as a supplier you can use etsy as a supplier not as a marketplace thanks for answering my questions from earlier helps a lot you're definitely welcome and thank you also for showing your appreciation I saw that you thought that I wouldn't enter it hi sir hello Varun guys I need to wrap it up let me wrap it up I'm from India and Indian banks don't allow auto payments through cards, PayPal or Payoneer to buy auto order credits please allow us to buy auto order credits from Autodesk balance to buy credits from the bank that's a good that's a good suggestion that I haven't thought of Varun please create a vote for that in the uploading system integrated into Autodesk just click on the circle icon on top and make a feature request that's a great request when I need to change my eBay account from personal to business whenever you feel like it honestly I only did that because I opened up a business Payoneer account and my eBay account was individual so then I couldn't connect them both and then eBay and then I just changed my eBay account from individual to business and then I was able to link them together but I didn't really notice I need changes on my eBay account from changing from individual to business so if you already have and you know if you already opened up a business in your state just change it to a business account is it possible to drop from eBay to eBay converting tracking numbers to blue care so like I said earlier you can't because you're going to have duplicate tracking numbers but if you do change it to blue care then it will be possible it will be possible but what are you going to do if the supplier gives you a blue care tracking number are you going to convert blue care to blue care that's going to be a little bit of a problem but good question was checking out supported suppliers from settings in Autodesk dashboard Autodesk marketplace showed up as one of oh okay okay so yeah we're going to have our own line of products that is the new supplier database that we're going to open up soon so you're going to have wholesale suppliers okay that want to work with you the drop shipper so if you want to open up a new account on eBay of course you're going to have permissions to do to resell the products from those wholesale suppliers so these wholesale suppliers are going to be inside our Autodesk product research system and inside that you will have access to products that is the Autodesk marketplace so yeah so it's nice that you saw that option before most people that's what it means and you're going to have exclusive access to those products and also you know fulfill your orders automatically with them fulfill by Autodesk no limits no caps everything is going to be it's one of the greatest features that we're actually working on recently I'm in the United Kingdom which suppliers would you recommend for drop shipping Costway UK Wayfair or Banggood those three options are pretty good Costway or Wayfair probably more than Banggood but they're all good but better yet just go to Autodesk.com click on suppliers click on United Kingdom you'll have the whole list of suppliers from the UK and you can use any one of them just test them out that way that's the best way for you to find your answer can we use BioAccount from Autodesk now in Germany under $25 orders yeah you can use Autodesk you can use fulfill by Autodesk for buy with Autodesk's BioAccounts for orders under $25 now it's supported but you do have a temporary limit of three to five orders per day we're going to uplift that soon and then we'll be back to no limits how can we edit and bulk main picture with one image because going in every listing is time consuming can we edit and bulk main picture what do you mean edit oh you mean grab a whole bunch of listings and what have edit all of the main images for them I'm not sure exactly how it would make sense to do that but you can make a feature request for that and we'll see if other people will vote for it which suppliers should beginners use to avoid flags on eBay US is banggood okay um basically wholesale dropshipping suppliers so that's what eBay is looking for they want you to dropship from wholesale suppliers with dropshipping contracts and one of the ones that can give you that is banggood yeah it's one of the solutions you can also use CJ dropshipping and there are others especially soon with the new Autodesk marketplace I have order processor on and when I put my tracking number manually it doesn't update on my store most of the time can you please help yeah open up a support ticket it should update automatically I also sometimes add manual tracking numbers and I do check to see that it did catch on my selling channel so just check it out and make sure that it worked and yeah I think that's pretty much it try to reconnect the software in your store yeah that also makes sense okay guys that wraps up that wraps up the 30 second live Q&A went on for more than one hour
