Stocking the products that you sell on eBay will probably make you spend more time and money shipping these items to the customers. This is not the case with drop shipping. If you are a big success on eBay, this could quickly become a problem. It is better to organize your shipping practices before they get out of control.
Make sure that stamps, packing materials and boxes are on hand. You can have these items delivered to you, which will save you a lot of time. Use large padded envelopes instead of boxes wherever and whenever possible. These envelopes are easier to handle and are usually cheaper to purchase. Another advantage with these envelopes is that they weigh just a little less than cardboard boxes do, which will save a bit of money on the postage. If possible, purchase stamps and packing materials online. By doing this, you will not only save time but money as well.
If you ship a lot of packages, purchasing your own set of postage scales will increase your efficiency. Other items you should invest in include a rubber stamp, label printing software, a good printer and labels. You may use a stamp for the return label or keep a large stock of pre-printed return labels. All you need is a good plan and a little bit of organization to successfully ship your eBay items.
