 Why does dropshipping work? I'm going to give you the top six reasons why dropshipping is one of the best business models to start your career on after you're looking to start an online business. The first reason? Well, as I've mentioned, there are no upfront costs for starting your dropshipping business. Abey dropshipping is a business model with one of the lowest entry barriers. You're only purchasing products after receiving payments for them. So the money is already there, making it a low-risk business to run. Therefore, you can also scale your business exponentially. There is no limit to how high you can climb and how far you can reach. The second reason is eBay is known as an auction online platform. Now, we are not going to be auctioning our products, but in time eBay transition and introduce the fixed price type listings, which is exactly what we are going to do, which means each product has its own fixed price. And so with this added method, buyers see eBay as a marketplace where they can get unique products for lower prices. eBay was always known as being a cheap online platform because of its auction prices and the reputation stayed the same even for the fixed type listings. So people know that eBay is a cheap place to go to find good products to buy and we are the dropshippers who are going to sell products to those customers on eBay's platform. The third reason why dropshipping works really well on eBay is because eBay is known for people selling to other people. A lot of people do not want to buy from big large companies where they are just seen as a small number in the system. They know that small and medium businesses are going to work much harder on customer support and making sure that the end customer is satisfied with their purchase because they're small companies and they really want to work on growing, which is exactly what we are doing and thousands of other sellers on eBay too. So many buyers would prefer to buy from sellers on eBay because of these reasons they want to buy from small and medium businesses and not from large companies. The fourth reason why dropshipping from eBay works is because no ads are needed to get people to your store to buy products and see your products. On any other platform that you want to sell on, you're going to have to run Google ads or Facebook ads or some type of source to bring traffic to your website and this can be really really expensive, especially if you're in the beginning of your journey because you won't know exactly what to put your money and where it will work. So eBay will take care of bringing traffic to your store organically, which means you do not have to pay any money to bring people to your store. The only thing that you need to worry about is having the right products in your store, products that are hot and trending and selling, optimizing your products, especially your title, because that's how people will get your listing and many other tips that we are going to get to in the future, so stay put and keep learning. The fifth reason why eBay dropshipping works so well is because you can sell pretty much almost anything you want. Now there are items that are a big no-no like tobacco products and drugs, paraphernalia and all of that and of course copyrighted and trademark items. But besides those you can sell pretty much anything you want, which means millions and millions of products are available for you to sell to anyone in the world. And that is one of the things that we love the most about eBay. Let me show you a quick list of the best dropshipping categories that you can find very hot items from and make a great profit at the end of the month. Some of those categories, as you can see here on the list, includes arts, crafts and sewing, clothing, shoes, jewelry and watches, home garden and tools, industrial and scientific products, pet supplies, beauty and health, kitchen and dining, toys, kids and baby, musical instruments, and this is one of my favorite categories because instead of paying a 9.15% fee, and this is one of my favorite categories to sell because eBay takes a really small final value fee from selling in this category, about three and a half percent instead of nine or ten percent from the product price, but we will get to the fees later. We also have office products, patio lawn and garden, tools and home improvement, toys and games, sports, outdoors, automotive and industrial. These are the best dropshipping categories to sell from and you have, as I've mentioned, millions of products inside these categories that you can choose. So that's why you don't have to focus on products that you cannot sell. It is dangerous to your business and you do not want to put up with any trouble. There is more than enough items to sell and new items are also coming out all of the time, all of which we will get to very, very soon. Now, it is really important to get to know eBay's Verified Rights owner program, the Vero program, to understand exactly what product we cannot sell, so we will have a link ready for you so you can get to know about these products that we cannot sell. But anyway, you should know that you have an extra layer of protection when using AutoDS. Every time you add a product, AutoDS will check its Vero database, which is huge and updating all of the time to make sure that you are not adding any products that you are not allowed to. So you will get a warning message if you're trying to add a product that is not allowed to be sold on eBay. Now, the sixth reason why dropshipping works so well is because of automation tools like AutoDS that will help you save the most amount of time while you are trying to run, create and manage your dropshipping business. From things like price and stock monitoring, automatic orders, automatic tracking updates and even the AutoDS Finder, which will do the product research for you and add the best sellers to your store without any of your interaction needed. This is how you're going to learn which products are best sellers and start to familiarize yourself with products that are good for the dropshipping business model and that will sell and make profit for you. So that is the sixth reason why dropshipping works. How you can scale it easily and not get stuck with small stores that are making really small profits. This way you can really scale your store and make it to the big numbers that really will make a difference in your life. So that is a brief explanation of how dropshipping works.
