I think ebay has become too big with too much competition and finding your niche is difficult. The only item I made a really good profit on was a JVC region 1&2 car dvd player with two 8" screens and two wireless headphones. I purchased it for about AU$600 and sold it for AU$800 (Australian retail would be about $1300). The only negative was the postage cost from the US to AU since the item was heavy... still, I made a tidy profit on that one. Dropshipping really can work.

I'm currently trying out a much smaller Australian version called Oztion. I'm selling customised screensavers (making screensavers from peoples personal photos and videos). Oztion has no listing fees (unless you want featured), lower final value fees & they currently have less than half a million listings so there is less competition, but of course there are also less people viewing your item, still because of the lower fees your profits are better on the items you do sell.

Thanks for listening

I sent money by Paypal for my first order of 20 pcs MP4 players with Citronid on July 2nd,2008. The Citronid order number is 19890. But 15 days later, I didn't receive any MP4 players, only 5 pcs paper boxes. I wrote several E-mails to Citronid but onbody replied me. And I tried to call them at +86-20-34387171, +86-20-34386664, Those telephone number are not exsited.

So I have to claimed with Paypal, but Paypal closed my case without any compensation. Because they offered the tracking number and my signature on the paper.

I lost over USD1000 with them.


Please don't send any payment to the account by any payment method - Paypal, Western Union, Wire Transfer, Moneybookers:
