In this guide, I will walk you through the steps you should take if you decide to select a US supplier and dropship from Etsy to eBay.
How to Get Started with Dropshipping from Etsy to eBay in 5 Steps
1. Connect your eBay account with the AutoDS tool
AutoDS is a dropshipping platform that allows companies to manage purchases and track changes in inventory levels and selling prices across multiple sales channels.Â
Among the performance measures are profit calculation, automatic pricing, and real-time updates.Â
Add your eBay store after you have created your AutoDS account, then enter the store’s URL and follow the prompt instructions. Your eBay store will be connected to AutoDS in a few simple steps.
2. Find Products to Sell and Make Drafts
It is now time to visit Etsy and look for items to include in your eBay listings. Make a draft of the products you want to import.Â
Go to Etsy.com and use your AutoDS tool to import the products with a single click.Â
Remember, you can check out a couple of Etsy categories to find your desired products.Â
3. Optimize and Prepare Your Items
Your items will be displayed on the “Products” site once they have been added. It is recommended to modify and enhance the product information before uploading them to your store.Â
To do that, modify the heading, description, variants, images, and pricing. After that, click “Import” to add the item to your eBay store immediately or arrange an import for a later date and time.
4. Price and Stock Tracking
Your eBay shop is cared for and secured with AutoDS. AutoDS can monitor your items and review price and stock adjustments. If changes are made, AutoDS will synchronize them to your eBay page.
AutoDS can also quantify the shipping cost and add it to your total price, allowing you to entice buyers with free delivery.
5. Complete the Order as soon as Possible.
Once you receive an order from eBay, you must go to Etsy and complete the transaction.Â
Add the eBay user’s information so the product can be shipped directly to them. You should do it as soon as you receive an order to shorten your customers’ wait time for their products.Â
You can also use automated features to handle your order on autopilot
