EBay is definitely a hot under tapped industry. Obviously not every person who sets up a drop shipping account and plays a little eBay will do well. See it does not work that way. What are the reasons?

1. There are many drop shipping companies.

2. There are many people just like you using the exact same company often millions of people.

Basically you will have a heck of a lot of competition. To over come this you have to be really good at marketing, really good at creating gigantic sales funnels, very good at exploiting under exploited items/goods/services, very good at market arbitrage, and have a deep understanding of the online sales industry. I would encourage all people to give the drop ship game a try. One name is getting very big in drop shipping and that is Doba a pretty amazing ebay sourcing partner. But some people do really well with it and others do not for exactly what I listed above. Ebay and the Internet is a gold mine but you do have to work at it and learn through years of experience or you will probably not do well. Check out Doba and give it a try.
