EBAY SAYS WEATHER/CARRIER DELAYS WON’T COUNT AGAINST YOU If you meet your handling time, eBay says they’ll credit on-time shipping even when USPS/UPS is late. They’ll also auto-adjust delivery estimates by ZIP. Dropshippers: order fast + upload tracking ASAP.

When everything is right on your end- The customer service issues can resolve themselves.

when you're sitting at the family dinner and they ask you "when will you finally make it with dropshipping?"

DO YOU NEED AN LLC TO DROPSHIP? No. Start as an individual/sole prop. LLC = protects your personal assets if the business gets sued or goes into debt. Licenses vary by state/country. Platforms don’t require it, but taxes still apply. (Not legal advice.)

EBAY JUST RELEASED BETTER BOOKKEEPING Seller Hub now has a new “Your Cost” field Add what you paid for the item (your supplier cost). When it sells, eBay shows Your Cost next to your net order earnings. Even on offers: you’ll see offer price + your cost before you accept.

Some of y’all have really lost it. There’s no limit for these dropshipping mfers.

You don’t need this to start selling on eBay. But if your store is already moving and you want more buyers than eBay search alone can give you, Promoted Offsite is one of the simplest knobs you can turn. https://t.co/Le6We7iL1X

4/ Put it to the test Pick listings that are consistently in stock, have clean photos, and solid margin. Go to Seller Hub -> Advertising -> “Promote Offsite”. Start with a small daily budget, watch clicks & sales for a few weeks, then decide if you scale it or turn it off.

3/ Why this matters for ALL eBay sellers Offsite Ads push your listings to people already searching for what you sell on eBay which can pour extra high-intent traffic into your winners, aswell as letting you use Google Ads, without needing to learn how to use Google Ads

2/ How the Ads Cost work: You only pay when someone clicks the ad & you can have eBay follow your set daily budget. eBay might spend a bit more on busy days, but it won’t go over your monthly max. eBay automatically tunes the cost per click per listing for you in the background.

1/ The Consumer Process Buyer searches on Google for the item. Your eBay listing shows as an ad. They click, land on your listing, and check out on eBay like normal. You just got a buyer who might’ve never opened the eBay app today.

eBay has an ad type called “Promoted Offsite” that most sellers never touch. Instead of only boosting your listings in eBay searches, it also shows your listings on sites like Google, then sends buyers back to your eBay listing to buy, here's how it works:🧵👇

EBAY’S Q3 NUMBERS JUST DROPPED In the last quarter, eBay made $2.8 billion in revenue and $20.1 billion in total sales volume across the site. Both are up around 10% vs last year. More buyers are spending more money on eBay. It’s a great moment to be a serious eBay seller.

eBay launched "Team Access" this week, a secure way to add people to your eBay store. You control what they can access: listings, orders, messages, or marketing. Your personal info stays private. Perfect for hiring VAs to handle all things customer service while you scale.

No excuse not to start ecom in 2026
