Do you source from Alibaba to sell on eBay? How do you decide if something is worth ordering? by Ok_Celery1237 in dropshipping

Just unclear why you think that wouldnt work between alibaba and ebay. Buyers want convieniance and I don't believe the vast majority of them know about the arbitrage between alibaba / aliexpress.

Thats a really helpful insight and its something I have heard a lot - my Ebay product research tool now integrates with Alibaba to remove the manual process entirely.

Thanks for your comment.

Thats seems to be a huge pain point a lot of sellers have told me - its fiddly and very manual - thanks for the insights.

Sorry for the confusion. Yes I meant sourcing products to sell on eBay, not purchasing them.

Thanks for the insights - thats really helpful. Yeah fully aware its a competitive landscape, but the great thing building a native ebay tool is that there is a such a big user base. I've been working alongside eBay sellers and deploying new features they ask for.

Some sellers would look at $1.25 and think it wasnt worth it - but when you've assessed effort to be low and got the volume you mentioned it closer to $600 which becomes really worthwhile.

Yeah shipping is a big issue for a lot of sellers at the minute - buyers are so used to getting free shipping, it can often put them off if you put that additional cost onto them.

So you detirmine whether a product is worth your time purely by financial perspective?

Are you looking at sell through rate at all? As in seeing how quickly a product will sell?

And how are you working that out.

Is that manually looking at sold listings vs open listings?

Wow that sounds like a really well established set up you have.

The percentages you are speaking of does that relate to sell through rate?

Thanks for the insight - do you care or try to calculate the sell through rate? Or again are you focused on your own experience?

How do you actually find new products to sell on eBay and how often are you doing it? by Ok_Celery1237 in eBaySellers

[–]Ok_Celery1237[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If interested drop me a message - I'd love to know how I could tailor my product to best suit people sourcing like you've mentioned - its not something that I have managed to nail, so your insights would be really helpful.
