EASY Dropship NO WAY
Read and watched a lot of the videos and information out there on drop shipping. We are Australian based Ebay sellers and so decided to use an 'Aussie' dropship supplier. It was a nightmare from day 1. If you think about using a dropship supplier, we will list the problems we had here:
1. Photos of the item do not necessarily match what they send to the customer, leading to Ebay Item Not as Described issues. Customers are then unhappy and want a refund. You then have to go through a process to prove to idrophip why the customer wants a refund...
2. Buffer quantity that you assign to your products listed on Ebay so that idropship has ample stock when you happen to sell one of their items through your Ebay store... FORGET IT, NOT HAPPENING. - A buyer on Ebay purchases your item, you place your order with idropship and lo and behold, they are out of stock! What happened to the buffer quantity I assigned??? Go explain that to your Ebay customer..
3. Used to have a chat option on the website for customer support - well FORGET IT. They got rid of it as there is only ever the same one person at customer support..and has problems with the English language.
4. Ebay continue to remove your active listings as they claim that the items idropship are supplying are counterfeit and against their listing policies. So there you have another Ebay problem...Breach it enough times with your listings and they suspend your Ebay account! There goes all those years of hard work and building up a good positive feedback score.
5. To add insult to injury, you cannot list more than 100 listings a day as their software cannot handle larger listings. You can wait for days for your listings to be processed as some clever idropship supplier decides to transfer 1000 listings from idropship to Ebay. Overloading their system...
6. When you place your order through idropship and order before mid-day, your order is supposed to be processed the same day and sent to the customer the next day. You are also supposed to get a tracking number, so you can supply that to your Ebay customer. Well - FORGET THAT TOO. Most of the time you will wait longer than two days before they ship, leading of course to your account being penalised for late shipment problems and delivery times with Ebay..
Better to source and buy your own items, which you can see for yourself and then sell them. It might cost you money to get stock, but better that than the constant problems with idropship.
