Have you ever heard of dropshipping? It’s a business model that allows you to sell products without actually holding any inventory. Instead, you act as a middleman between the customer and the supplier, and when someone makes a purchase from your online store, the supplier ships the product directly to the customer. It’s a popular way for entrepreneurs to start an online business with minimal risk and investment.
I recently decided to try my hand at dropshipping by sourcing products from Aliexpress and selling them on eBay. I had heard about the potential for high profits and low start-up costs, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Here’s what I learned from my experience:
Setting up my store was relatively easy. I chose a niche that I was interested in and selected products from Aliexpress that I thought would appeal to my target market. I used eBay’s listing tools to create product listings, and set my prices to ensure a healthy profit margin. The whole process took me a few hours, and I was excited to start making sales.
However, I quickly realized that the competition on eBay is fierce. There are thousands of sellers offering similar products, and standing out from the crowd is no easy task. I had to constantly monitor my prices and adjust them to stay competitive. I also had to provide excellent customer service to keep my customers happy and prevent negative feedback.
Another challenge I faced was shipping times. Since most of my suppliers were located in China, it took a while for the products to reach my customers. Many buyers expect fast shipping, and some were dissatisfied with the long wait times. I had to manage their expectations and communicate with them regularly to avoid disputes.
Despite these challenges, I was able to make some sales and turn a profit. Dropshipping allowed me to test different products and niches without having to invest in inventory upfront. I could also scale my business quickly by adding more products to my store and reaching a larger audience.
Overall, my experience with dropshipping from Aliexpress to eBay was positive. It was a great way to dip my toes into the world of e-commerce and learn the ropes of online selling. I would recommend it to anyone looking to start an online business with minimal risk and investment. Just be prepared to put in the time and effort to make it a success.

I just started dropshipping from Ebay to Aliexpress about 1 month ago. I am now getting some sales. Thought I was making decent profits, until I ordered the items and had to pay the tax. An item I purchased on Aliexpress for $20 shipped to Norway had a tax of $4.83! That is a little more than 20%!
The tax is already paid by my customer because Ebay charges and collects the tax. I shouldn't have to pay the tax because the tax has already been paid.
How do you dropshippers deal with the tax? Were you able to get a tax exemption from Aliexpress? Or do you just eat the extra cost?
What shipping service do I select for eBay when I drop ship from Ali express
Easiest money of my life.
Should we change shipping policy on Ebay shop and openly declare that goods come from China?
Wasn't it forbidden to dropship on ebay from Aliexpress?? Is there a risk of them suspending accounts for violating the rules? Ebay Will you have questions if I am in Canada, selling in the USA but goods come from China?
hahaha… you joking… the video does not help.
How do you deal with taking 2 plus weeks to deliver to your customers?
I'm still waiting for my package !
i use ZeeDrop extension for listing they support any supplier i want 🙂
I didn't understand ,if ebay policy is that you cant dropship from aliexpress how still a lot of people do it and no youtuber talks about it's not allowed? Is it worth to start with it nowadays risking with a ban?
So how did your drop shipping from Ali express work out are you still doing it ?
your are defently not the first, aproximently every seller on ebay sell´s stuff from aliexpress, you have deffently not made the front up investigation on what product people sell on ebay, amazone, etsy. everything is from china.
Did you get any sales?
Please I will be glad and grateful if someone can answer my question. If a buyer buys a product from your store and takes it directly to aliexpress, won't the buyer see it from ali express and also see the original price? Because according to my experience, when I bought a product from ali express for myself, on the outside of the product package it said the product sender's shop along with the original price
how things are going for you so far using this method ?
As a long time successful ali-ebay dropshipper this is absolute trash information, as is most info online
if you want to dropshiping on ebay, do you need to make an adds on facebook about product or is it better to make them on ebay?
So if you are this successful dropshipper, WHY would you put these videos out there which only results in creating MORE "competition" for yourself and therefore LESS revenues and profitability for yourself??
what do you think of CJ dropshipping vs Ali express?
The course you are offering, do you mean you are able to help with information of real US-based suppliers and can price it on Ebay or Facebook enough to get reasonable profit. I am referring to the conclusion section where you were mentioning something similar. thank you.
Dropshippers are parasites and ruined ebay. There's no value added. You just con people into thinking it's local stock with a quick turn around time. If someone wants to order a part from China off Aliexpress and live with the long wait, at least they can make that decision on their own terms.
You say these ebay sellers are dropshipping as they are in china. Seems like they are actual chinese sellers that sell on ali & ebay and warehouse there products locally.
Do you need a business license
Hello i am seriously thinking of dropshipping from eBay to Alixpress. .In a Nutshell does it work this way. in a nutshell is this correct.
1. I have eBay store
2.I Go to supplier e.g Alixpress pick a product put it into my eBay store.
3. Custome purchases product from my store.
4.Alixpress ships product to customer.
5 i get my profit from mark up and Alixpress gets there's.
Do i pay Alixpress there profit or do they take money themselves when customer purchases product.
Ok… but what happened?
How does eBay know if your product has been delivered if you ordered from aliexpress straight to customer?
Which dropshipping software do you recommend?
Skugrid
AutoDs
DSMtool
Zeedrop?
Awesome Video bro. I use autods as well. Great tool.
Hi there, I'm Australian eBay seller since 2013 but now live in Poland, I successfully drop ship from Ali to eBay. Not the stereotypical drop shipping method however.
A little bit off topic but when listing with autods, after the listing has uploaded do you then go in and add more item specifics directly editing the ebay listing? The item specifics given on the autods platform are usually just the bare minimum.
Use cj dropshipping
What are you doing about tracking?
