11. Can I sell these items on eBay? If so, then how do I do it?
1) Login to your website
2) Find an item that you want to sell
3) Create an eye-catching ad to sell the item of your choice.
If you have the "Dropship COMBO Plan OR the Auction Plan", then simply click on the orange button located below each product to help you create the HTML code for your eBay ad. In this case you do not need to worry about uploading the product images, they will already be included in the HTML code for you.
If you have the "Dropship WEBSITE Plan", then you will need to save the product image (small & large) on your computer and load them yourself to your eBay ad.
You can upgrade your memberhsip at anytime by clicking on the upgrade links located in the blue box at the top of the first page you see when you login.
4) List your item on eBay
Login to your eBay account and create an ad to sell your product. Click Sell in the navigation bar at the top of any eBay page. eBay's Sell Your Item form will take you through the process of listing your item step-by-step, including helping you find the correct category for your item.
If you have the COMBO package, simply cut/paste the HTML code from eBay ad wizard into your eBay ad description, otherwise you will need to write your own eBay ad.
5) Get paid
Once you have sold the item, contact the buyer and collect your payment BEFORE placing the order on your website
6) We ship the product
Once you have sold an item, come back to your website and login as the store owner using the credentials we emailed you. Then click on the BUY button of the product you just sold on eBay. We will only charge you the wholesale price and we will ship the product directly to your customer on your behalf.
REMEMBER TO USE THE ADDRESS OF YOUR BUYER AS THE SHIPPING ADDRESS. You will enter your buyer's shipping address during the checkout process.
12. How can I monitor my orders and profits?
Your control panel will include a page that will show you all of the items that you have sold, including your profits.
13. Can I see the emails of my customers?
Yes, your control panel will also include a page that will list all the visitors of your website that have registered. You can use their email address to send them emails with special offers if you choose to do so.
14. Will you offer any marketing assistance?
Yes, your control panel will also include marketing tips which will help you get started. We offer recommendations on various marketing methods.
15. Who maintains the products on my website?
We will add new products as the suppliers come out with new releases each month. Your website will automatically show new products as we add them to the stores. New products will also show automatically as we make arrangements with new suppliers.
16. Will your company name be mentioned anywhere when the product arrives at the customer?
No. The products are shipped directly to your customer without any mention of our company.
17. Who handles the orders?
All orders will be processed using our company's merchant account.
18. Are there any monthly fees?
No monthly fees. You will be charged a one time setup fee only for your dropship plan. We will not charge you anything more except for the yearly renewal fee, which will be due 12 months following the date of your purchase.
19. Can I use my own domain name?
Yes, we can include a domain name of your choice. Please make sure that the domain name is not already taken. You can
go to www.directnic.com to search for available domain names.
20. How responsive is customer support?
We offer very responsive customer support. All requests are addressed and answered within 24 hours.
21. Can I use the items in my store to sell on eBay?
Yes. You have our permission to cut/paste any product description and save any of our product images to your computer.
Simply use the product information found on your very own dropship website to makeup your eBay ad. Once you have received payment from your eBay customer, simply place an order for that same product on your own dropship website using your customer's address as the shipping address. As the store owner, you will only be charged wholesale price.
22. I am not from the USA/UK, can I still use your website and do business in the US and or UK?
Yes you can. You can use search engines such as google to advertise your website in the USA and/or the UK only. Your website will
gather buyers from the territory of your choice and DropshipDesign.com will take the orders for you using our very own merchant account. All that we require is that you have your own paypal account so that we can deposit your profits each week. Paypal will take care of converting the currency for you at the time of the deposit.
23. How about VAT?
We will be responsible for reporting and paying the excise tax (or VAT for sales made in the UK) for the merchandise that you sell.
Since our company is responsible for capturing and processing all online orders, we are also responsible for paying the excise tax on items sold in the state of WA where our company resides.
Since we are processing the payments, you are not liable for paying any sales tax or VAT. At this time, you are not obligated to report and pay for this excise tax.
24. What is the difference between the "WEBSITE Plan" and the "AUCTION Plan"?
The "WEBSITE Plan" will provide you with a website pre-populated with thousands of products. You can use your website to buy products for yourself at wholesale price or use it to sell products to others at retail price and make profits on each sale. Of course your website comes with a control panel which you can use to monitor your sales and profits, change the look and feel, update your product prices and much more.
The "AUCTION Plan" is a membership to a website which gives you access to the same products but does not include your own website. It also includes an eBay ad wizard, which you can use to quickly put together eBay ads including the picture and description of the products. This feature is activated in your website should you decide to buy both packages, otherwise you will receive a username/password to access the dropship on auction website.
