About this project

Open

EBay 2-step dropshipping involves a strategy where sellers list products on eBay but source them from suppliers like Amazon, Walmart, or other online retailers only after the eBay customer makes a purchase. The two steps in this model are:

1. **Listing and Sale**: Sellers first list a product on eBay, often using a markup over the supplier’s price. When a buyer makes a purchase on eBay, the seller receives payment upfront.
 
2. **Order Fulfillment**: After the sale, the seller orders the item directly from the supplier, who ships it to the eBay customer. Sellers ensure the supplier doesn’t include any branding or receipts that could reveal the original source.

This model minimizes upfront costs but requires careful supplier management to avoid delays or out-of-stock issues.
