DROPSHIPPING FISHING RODS #dilato #dropshipping #sidehustle

In this article, we reveal the step-by-step process of selling items we don't own on eBay. Let's walk through the example of a fishing rod that has proven to be a profitable endeavor for many entrepreneurs.

We list the fishing rod on eBay for £110 and to date, we have successfully sold 16 units. Interestingly, we source these fishing rods from Amazon, where each unit costs us £85. The method is straightforward: every time we make a sale on eBay, we purchase the product from Amazon and have it shipped directly to the customer.

To ensure that our listings on eBay are always synced with the current prices on Amazon, we use the Dilato platform. This tool helps us maintain the right pricing and stock levels for our products.

By employing this dropshipping model, each sale of these fishing rods nets us a profit of £179 per unit. Impressively, this fishing rod is just one of the 1,500 products we have listed on our account.

With the right strategy and tools, dropshipping can be a highly profitable side hustle.
