Benefits of eBay Dropshipping
Ease of Operation
eBay is easy for anyone to negotiable with basic computer skills. It is set up to
assist you in creating your store in minimum time and simple to use in operating
your store. You have access to numerous plugins and tools to assist you.
Visibility
eBay is an incredibly popular online auction platform with a never ending stream
of visitors looking to purchase every possible item across the broadest spectrum.
This gives your eBay dropshipping business the very high visibility you need to
attract as many potential customers possible in your niche.
Due to the huge number of daily visitors on eBay that can view your listings,
you have the potential of making sales with less effort and at the best possible
prices.
Technical Skills Not Required
You do not need any technical skills whatsoever to set up and operate your eBay
store. Everything is put in place for you and you just have to concentrate on
sourcing and listing your products.
Marketing
The very large audience that your business has access to means you do not have
to spend money on intensive marketing or invest in paid traffic and SEO. This is
important especially when you are starting out in the dropshipping business
model.
Fraud Evaluation System
The evaluation system that eBay has put in place helps the seller and the buyer.
On completion of each sale both the customer and the seller have the opportunity
to evaluate the experience, give a positive, neutral or negative rating and leave a
comment about the specific sale, this helps in fraud prevention.
The evaluation system helps to alert you as the seller when customers leave out
of the ordinary negative evaluations. You then have the option to reject the sale
and have the option to explain the reasons why the sale was rejected. Please note
though that this applies to out of the ordinary circumstances only. The seller may
not leave negative observations under normal circumstances; the only options
the seller is allowed is to give praise and a review.
PayPal
eBay has integrated Paypal, and this enables you to accept real-time payments
and this provides the seller much needed protection.
Ratings
Your rating on eBay tells potential customers what your eBay credit rating is.
eBay uses three rating levels to evaluate all sellers. The ratings are based on the
quality of the service you provide and your sales history. The evaluation ratings
are done each month, and in e-commerce, the rating system can bring more customers or if your rating is very poor, it will have a very negative impact on
your business.
Top Rated
This rating shows all potential customers that you have reached the minimum
sales target that is required for this rating. This rating also makes you eligible for
Top Rated Plus listing benefits on condition that you maintain the listing prerequisites.
Above Standard
You have met the minimum eBay standards required of all sellers and your
customer service is acceptable.
Below Standard
You have failed to reach one or more of the minimum standards set by eBay for
for customer service. A below standard rating may result in eBay taking punitive
measures by dropping your listings to a lower down in the eBay search results.
