Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. Like you, I have only sold a few things on Amazon, mainly my son’s old college books and a few PC games. Although you are correct in saying that casual sellers like us can only sell things that are already listed on Amazon, I think Pro-Merchants can add new products.

For anyone who is serious about becoming a volume seller on Amazon I think FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) is the way to go. From what I’ve heard from more experienced people, sellers who use FBA get priority over those who don’t. It’s something I’ve been meaning to look into and I’ve actually purchased an ebook, “Selling on Amazon’s FBA Program” by Nathan Holmquist but so far I’ve only had time to have a quick scan through it. I’ll review it on the blog when I’ve had a chance to read through it properly.

I’m glad to hear you’ve had some success with dropshipping on eBay. But as most dropshippers work on tight margins you need to keep costs as low as possible, so it would only be worthwhile having an eBay store if you could be sure of turning over enough products to make it viable.

Thanks again for paying us a visit, and hopefully, we’ll see you again soon.

I found your site after you left a comment on Dan Thompsons site. He’s a character. Anyway, Amazon. I started selling recently. Old books DVD’s etc. It’s a good way to sell all your old stuff. You can only sell stuff that has an ISBN code (Bar Code). You enter the code and if accepted, the title of the book, photo of the boo comes up. You select a price for your item, decide if you’re going local, Europe worldwide etc. There are times that they won’t accept an item for some reason. I think that if they don’t stock the item you cannot sell it. Don’t quote me on that.

I have sold a dozen items in the last 4 or 5 months. I’m not sure how worthy it is.

However, if you have more than 30 items to sell I don’t know how that works, apart from, as Lynn says, you need to pay monthly. Would you be able to dropship via Amazon?? I dropship on EBay, DVD’s, don’t sell many. You need to have ashop I think. More cost, monthly fee plus all your fees for each item. Catch 22 I guess.

Going back to Amazon, I think if you stick to it and check what you are selling your stuff for. Don’t overprice yourself.

I have bookmarkeed your site. I’ll peruse later on.

Kind Regards

Its a tough one deciding what to sell on ebay. I started selling all my unwanted items that were laying around the house, old books, clothes, kids toys, dvds and made some extra cash that came in handy.

That’s when I came across information products and started selling them and the rest as they say is history (lol).

There’s lots of things you can sell on ebay and if you spend time having a good look at what other people are selling, it will give you some great ideas.

Take care
