all righty everybody welcome to the training my name is Trevor and I’m going to be your host let me tell you what we’re going to do today we’re going to train you guys on using Amazon as a drop shipping supplier to sell on eBay okay so you’re going to you’re going to take products off of Amazon you’re going to put them up for sale on eBay and you’re going to make money doing it let me just do an example with you okay now there’s there’s ways to find what’s most popular on Amazon and maybe I’ll show that to you first if you’re trying to figure out well you know there’s a there’s a million products on Amazon how do I choose what to sell do a search for the Amazon best seller list like I just did right there and you’re going to get this website that will come up with the very very top it’s Amazon’s best seller list amazon.com slash best – sellers flash GGBS it’s this address right here and I know that’s kind of small but you can find it easily by just googling Amazon best seller list and it’ll take you to the site we’re going to click on it and I’ll show you what it’s about now once here Amazon’s going to show you according to their different departments and you see their departments here on the left-hand side of the screen they’re going to tell you what’s most popular within those departments okay so if I’m interested in selling something in the baby department I can click on baby and if I’m interested in selling a piece of say baby furniture I’m going to click on furniture and I can see here what are most popular here in the baby furniture section okay see that I can kind of scroll down and look so and this is all real time stuff this is legit data here so if these things are showing up here on the best seller list they are going to be decent sellers on Amazon well I’m going to take this item and I’m just picking this at random I haven’t pre planned any of this this is number 11 on that list of baby best sellers let me click on this crib and I’m going to look at it for just a sec here this is called a pack and play for those you guys that don’t know much about kids right you can sort of close this thing up and take it with you I’ve got a couple of kids and so we have one of these that will take around with us in case we’re going to be gone on a trip it’s somewhere I can put my little 18 month old girl while we’re sleeping and say a hotel room or something so she doesn’t have to sleep on the floor in a bed you put her in one of these packing plays right well according to Amazon this is $49.99 it’s got really good reviews right here so this is good be a good product to list there’s a product description you’ve got a really good picture here this would be a product that I could take markup and list on eBay okay so the theory is here if I’m getting it for $49.99 here on Amazon I could take this and simply mark it up enough to where I’d make a profit if I sold it on ebay now a lot of you guys are going to stop me and say Trevor now wait a minute that’s not going to work because why wouldn’t somebody just go buy go buy it from Amazon directly instead of buying from you well there’s lots of reasons why they wouldn’t go to Amazon directly a they don’t know I’m getting it from Amazon right B you have a lot of people that are loyal shoppers to eBay they don’t shop other places see you have a lot of people that aren’t price shoppers right not everybody who goes and buys groceries at the grocery store takes five minutes a check out as they shuffle through all the coupons that they’re going to use to make their grocery shopping trip a little bit cheaper right not everybody is a couponer not everybody is a huge time price shop or a lot of people find what they want to get and they buy it give or take a few dollars and so I’m not going to mark this up grossly I’m not going to try to sell it for 150 dollars but I may try to sell it for 75 and try to make a profit that way right that actually works and and most of the time I tell people about this there their immediate skeptics they’re like no there’s no way that’s going to work I wouldn’t shop like that right I would go find it where its cheapest they’d say and I’d say you know what that is great for you guess what you’re not my customer right my customer is the person that I just described to a minute ago maybe a bit more impulsive not a price shopper maybe has more money than they have time right so they’re not interested in shopping around the internet I can I can talk to you about why I think this works until I’m blue in the face here but I’m not going to be able to convince you until you get in here and you do it yourself so I’m going to show you a good example of how to do it off of Amazon and then you’re welcome to get in there and try it on your own okay all right so if this is going to be our example first things first number of step 1 I’m going to save this picture so I’m going to click on it right click on top of the the picture see how I did that I just zoomed in on it right here I right click its save image as and I’m going to save the picture to my computer ok that’s step one another way to get a picture is I can open up a tab here on my screen I can go to google.com slash images okay and I can search for the product I just copied and pasted that product name right there in the search bar I’m going to click search and I’m going to see if I can find it here there’s a few different views of it here the rule on eBay is it needs to be 500 pixels at least so I’m going to grab this really big one right here this is a nice view of it I’m going to right click on top of it I’m going to hit save image as I’m going to save it okay I’ve got two images of them now now if I want to learn more about these images I could go here to a site called Pixlr calm P IX l are calm Pixlr and I could scroll down here to the Pixlr editor in case I wanted to learn more about these pictures and see just exactly what size they are I can load them up here into this free program called Pixlr and I’m going to hit open image from computer right here and I’m going to open up my two pictures I just saved okay these two right here I’m going to open them they’re going to pop up right here in Pixlr what size are these pictures well I know this is kind of small but you can look right down here at the bottom where my mouse is you see where I’m sort of circling down here at the bottom left see how this is 2,000 by 2,000 that’s the size of the picture and then right here this is 1500 by 1500 both of which qualify and would work if I uploaded them into eBay if if they were smaller than 500 by 500 if it was like 450 by 450 that wouldn’t work I would have to increase the size each of these their sizes are just fine so I’m going to use them and load them up into eBay okay if I needed to increase the size I can easily come here and go image image size and I could change the height and the width right here this is something that works okay so that’s how I fix the size image is good so step one is complete guys I’ve got an image of the item I don’t need all the images I just at least need one really nice product image okay step two I’m going to go to eBay now I’m going to assume if you’re here you’ve got an eBay account if you’ve got a PayPal account if you don’t you can register and we’ve got some trainings for that for those you guys who are new you’ll see those posted online there but I’m going to assume you’ve got an account so I’m going to come up here and I’m going to click the sell button right here at the very top if you can see that okay and first of all they want to know what I’m selling I’m just going to paste in my title and hit get started and I’m going to need to pick a I need to pick a category this is fine for baby playpens you don’t want to pick more than one category categories actually don’t really matter anyway pick one that’s relevant and move forward okay alright so takes me to my listing within ebay now this might look a little bit different for you on your computer but this should look about the same if you’re going to put in a title which you already have a condition I’m going to put as new I’m going to add a photo right here which is very very easy I’m just going to click on this box I’m going to go select photos and I’m going to find one of those photos I saved on my computer incidentally the four Swanage right here I’m going to double click on that and it should load it into eBay yep there it goes and then I’m going to hit finish upload is complete and then the photo goes in okay just like that I’ve gotten the image now under this section this add item specifics you’re going to see these green asterisks by the ones that they require they require a UPC code if you don’t know the UPC code just select does not apply if you can find the UPC code code it might be somewhere here in the Amazon description although I don’t see it listed I’m looking through the description here’s the Amazon product description oh here’s the UPC code right here just kidding it was it was listed here on the Amazon page so I’m going to highlight that I’m going to copy it and I’m going to paste it in if you can’t find it just select does not apply the brand is Graco we know that the NPM okay we need to find the NPM if the manufacturers part number I don’t know if I can find that or not I’ll certainly look for it I had a model number maybe we’ll say that’s it I’m not sure if that’s it or not but we’ll put it in I think that should work just fine so on and so forth you don’t have to fill out the other things just as long as the ones with the green asterisks are filled out now you come down to a product description section which really easy guys you’re just going to copy and paste here’s my product description I’m just going to highlight it copy it and then I’m going to paste it right here that was easy right now I’m done now here’s where it gets a little more interesting price I wanted I don’t want to do an auction okay we’re not going to try to auction this thing off we’re going to put a fixed price in so I’m going to click on click on the fixed price tab and it’s going to take a minute to load there we go now before I take a price we got to go over our costs first right so as I look at this item I’ve got some costs involved don’t I let’s scroll up here our costs on this product is 49.99 I’m going to round up and we’ll just say it’s $50 okay now I’m going to add this to my cart and I’m going to see about what this is going to cost me I’m going to proceed to checkout here you log into my account you should have an Amazon account by the way guys okay so right here you’re going to see I’ve got some shipping options looks like this is going to qualify for free shipping so the shipping is not going to cost me anything okay let me go back because I’m not going to actually check out I only did that guys just because I wanted to see what shipping was going to cost me those you guys that are familiar with Amazon you know that if you’ve got Amazon Prime you qualify for free shipping if you don’t sometimes you got to check and see what the shipping actually cost but it looks like this shipping is going to be free on this so it’s really just going to cost me $50 to check out here sometimes there’s going to be some sales tax involved which usually roundabout 10% that’s on the high side so I’m going to add another $5 to this which would make my total cost on this product $55 okay that’s how much it’ll cost me to ship it anywhere well where should I ship it I don’t know right I don’t know who’s going to buy it I could be shipping this to Oregon I could be shipping it to Maine or Florida or Texas or Illinois or who knows right but I know the shipping is going to be free so that doesn’t matter so it’s going to cost me $55 now I’m going to try to sell this for say I don’t know I usually tell my clients to take that number that $55 and I would multiply it by about 1.4 or 1.5 so I’m going to do that 55 times 1.5 I’m going to try to sell this for 80 to 99 it’s a good way to to price a product so let’s go over here let’s type in eighty to ninety nine okay if I sold it for eighty to ninety nine I would be profitable on this because I’m only getting it for fifty five the thing that you’ve got to remember is if I sell it for eighty to ninety nine eBay and PayPal take a fee off of that they take about thirteen percent as a fee so I would obey and PayPal eleven dollars if I sold it for eighty to ninety nine which would be fine because initially fifty five would be my cost from Amazon eleven for eBay and ow 66 total would be my cost so 83 minus 66 I’d make 17 dollars on the sale right if itself so I’m going to go through the rest of this duration is going to be seven days I’m going to put in my PayPal account right here for select how you’ll be paid shipping is going to be free so we’re going to select flat shipping we’re going to select the free box and we’re going to do standard one to six days with a three-day handling time I won’t go into all the details as to why we do it like that I’m just going to tell you to do it like that for now the rest of the shipping information you don’t need to worry about if you come down here to buyer requirements you can put in a return policy you don’t have to that’s optional and then you can hit continue right here if I hit continue it’s going to ask me just to look over my listing one more time in fact I can preview my listing right here if I hit preview I can see what it will look like and I’ll show you guys it’s going to look pretty official right there it is that’s what will look like on eBay looks pretty legitimate you got a nice picture here you’ve got a title you’ve got a description you’re ready to rock and roll on this thing okay now the one caveat I will put out there is our title could be better you don’t usually want to just take the stock title from Amazon usually want to adjust it change it add more keywords to it eBay gives you 80 characters so if you can use all 80 of those characters and you know make make a better title you’ll want to do that so you get more visibility on eBay just for the sake of our example today using Amazon I wasn’t going to show you that okay all right so that should work okay and when I’m ready I just hit list your item and that would put it officially onto eBay this is how you do it with Amazon and you know there really are just millions of products you could choose from on Amazon right this is a numbers game Valerie mentioned earlier she has 20 items that she’s doing this with I’m obviously just with this one right now but I would encourage you guys to list as many items as you possibly can our best clients that are doing this are in the neighborhood of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of clients sometimes up in the thousands okay thousands of products listed at any one time you’re going to make sales on a regular basis and you can turn this into you know from something that makes you a little bit of money here and there do an actual an actual business income that you can count on and then that’s a little goal behind this okay so that’s Amazon questions about that guy’s is I’ve been going through that does that make sense I know I went kind of fast but I wanted to get it all in before I let you go so you guys could try this for yourself I’ll give you a minute for questions and then we’ll finish up okay we’re going to turn off the recording for questions for another minute but if you guys are watching this recorded thanks for coming along
