eBay Dropshipping – Top 5 BIGGEST Mistakes
eBay Dropshipping – Top 5 BIGGEST Mistakes
Hi guys, Neil Waterhouse. I’m doing a series of quick videos about eBay drop shipping and the top five biggest mistakes.
This week’s video is video number five and if you miss the other videos including the number one mistake that eBay dropship sellers make that gets’em suspended or banned I’ll put a link at the end of this video if anybody near this channel.
My name’s Neil Waterhouse and I’ve been selling online full-time for 24 years. I’m the author of MillionDollar eBay business from home and creator of Dropship Formula so let’s launch straight into it. This week’s video is the fifth biggest mistake that eBay dropship sellers make, and like the other four mistakes in the previous week’s videos. Once you know what I’m going toshow you in these videos you can make sure that youset up your dropship business for the long haul so you can keep selling year after year.
Okay? Mistake number five is canceling orders the wrong way which adds defects to your eBay account.
If you get more than 2% defects eBay can throttle your listings from showing in this eBay search results. In this video, I’ll show you how you can cancel sales on eBay without getting transaction defects. The reason this is so important is eBay keeps a very close eye on the ratio of completed sales to cancel sales for every eBay seller on the planet. This creates an average forevery eBay seller worldwide of how many items they cancel compared to how many sales they complete.
If your eBay account has a cancellation rate much higher than the average of all other eBay sellers worldwide eBay can throw your account by not showing your listings in the eBay search results. This is why it’s so important to cancel orders the correct way. First of all, if you have oversold an item first always do your very bestto find another supplier to fulfill your order. Some suppliers give a buffer stock of fast selling inventory so when an item goes out of stock, they often still do have this buffer stock available. The first contact your supplier and explain that you’ve over sold this item and is there any chance they might have a spare one so you can fulfill the order and they can help you out. Next, try to find another supplier who has the item in stock. Often there are many suppliers importing exactly the same items.
To do this right click on the photo using Google Chrome and select search with Google Lens and try to find an identical image from another supplier. Often there’s several importers who import exactly the same items. Next, type the name of theitem into Google and see if you can find the item that way. Also, check to see if there’sany other eBay sellers who have this item in stock. Many eBay sellers use other eBay sellers as their backup suppliers. Also, check Amazon. However, don’t get theitem delivered straight from Amazon FBA as it’llbe an Amazon box and that’s against eBay. Policy note, though that with Amazon fbm which is fulfillment by merchant,items are sent by sellers and not by Amazon.
In going forward, make sure you check Your supply inventory a minimum of twice per day for any item thatyou’ve got listed on eBay. You can also automate this process of supply inventory checking using a program like Scarcity Manager that automatically checks your supplies and if your supplier runs out of stock, scarcity manager will automatically make your listings go to zero. Now, if you cannot find anyother supply for your item the next step is to message your customer using eBay Messenger with amessage like this one. Hi, username, how are you? This is your name from your eBay username. Thank you for your order.
I’m really sorry, but whenwe processed your order we discovered it to be defectiveor whatever the issue is and we don’t want to supply you with a defective product. I’m trying to think how to compensate you. What do you think? Would you like to cancel the order or we also sell other product and if the product is cheaper I can refund you the difference. Please let me know. Sincerely your name. Now the customer may just simply cancel the order themselves after they get this message. Or if you cancel theorder, go to eBay, click on my eBay, then orders awaiting postage, then click the little arrow next to the order and select cancel. Order now. Click the select button and select buyer asked to cancel.
Don’t select out of stock or damage or issue with buyer’s delivery address. If you do select out stock or damage or issue with buyer’s delivery address eBay will normally ask you to provide proof. Selecting buyer asked to cancel will avoid getting a defect on your account. If you miss the first video showing the number one reason eBay dropship beginners get banned I’ll put a link up here and at the end of the videoif you have any questions please leave them in the comment section below. Until next week, stay safe. This more, sell more. This is in your Waterhouse.
