While millions of people dream of becoming their own boss and working from the relative comfort of their own homes, the specifics of how to actually go about doing so remain a bit unclear for most. This book hopes to clear much of that up with clear, concise advice on how to set up your very own drop-ship enterprise using eBay, the world’s largest retailer.

The Internet has opened up opportunities for people of all ages, no matter where they live. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the world’s leading auction site, eBay. Not only is one able to get rid of all the junk in their attic or basement, but you are now able to become a bona-fide retailer, with eBay virtual storefronts.

Moreover, there is nothing saying that you need to make the products yourself or even send them yourself. In fact, one of the fastest growing segments of eBay sales – one that is potentially very lucrative – is facilitating sales from manufacturers and wholesalers directly to customers through dropshipping.

While all business opportunities are fraught with dangers and pitfalls, dropshipping on eBay has the advantage of being one of the few ways you can start up a profitable business without putting a large sum of money up front. In fact, since there is a short period of time where you have a buyer’s money before you actually the wholesaler or manufacturer you’re dealing with the money for the goods, the only money you’re responsible for putting up front are the modest eBay fees. For as little as $1, you can be on your way to re-selling items on eBay for profit.

Your No Money Up-front Commitment

In fact, for most people looking to start up with a lucrative home-based business, the no money up-front aspect of dropshipping is the most appealing aspect. In a traditional business, one can put up thousands of dollars before you ever see Dime One. Since your shop is a virtual one and there is no need to spend money on the physical plant, warehousing and other elements of a traditional business.

It may come as no surprise to you that it’s easy to forget your commitment to not spending money to do things the “easy” way. But, the real beauty of this process is that it isn’t really any harder to set up shop and begin selling without spending any money at all – you just need to know the tricks and that’s what this book aims to do.

For starters, you need to go into this with a plan. Sure, plenty of folks are able to stumble their way into modest eBay profits, but the eBay marketplace is a lot more crowded than it was even a few years ago. No matter the market segment you choose to focus upon, you’ll be forced to specialize in order to really stand out in an increasingly crowded virtual room.

Of course, that’s the beauty of starting up such a business, even if it is done in your spare time as a second source of income. For many, this is a good way to jump into doing something with a hobby or avocation that they really love. Indeed, this is a good way to really find out how lucrative your hobby is, might be to give it a test run with eBay dropshipping.
