[00:03] you're new and don't know what eBay dropshipping is, we've made two videos that explain it in detail. They'll tell you what dropshipping actually is, and we've also compared dropshipping actually is, and we've also compared eBay and Shopify. I recommend you watch them. If [00:18] you've been following our series, today we'll start our first practical tutorial: setting up an eBay store and start our first practical tutorial: setting up an eBay store and listing our first product on eBay. [Music] First, to set up an eBay store, you [00:35] need a Payoneer account. Payoneer is an online bank that gives you accounts in dollars and other currencies in several countries. You can receive money from anywhere. To open a [00:48] Payoneer account, you need a local bank account in your country. So, if you're in Egypt, in your country. So, if you're in Egypt, you'll open a savings account at any bank. But it's important to tell the bank employee, or on the bank's website, [01:01] tell the bank employee, or on the bank's website, that you need your International Bank Account Number ( IBAN). This is the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) that you'll use to access websites and receive transfers to your account. Okay, after you open your account and have the IBAN, we'll go [01:17] to Payoneer. The registration steps are simple: click on "Register" and choose " Individual" to get the full power of Payoneer. During registration, you'll fill in your information: first name, last name, email, and date of birth. After all that, they'll ask you for [01:36] details, password, and everything else. They should then ask for your bank account number, the account you opened in your country, where you'll receive the money. After completing all these registration steps, your [01:51] completing all these registration steps, your account will be ready. It will then ask for your account will be ready. It will then ask for your ID or ID or passport, whatever is available. You'll find this in your [02:04] passport, whatever is available. You'll find this in your settings, then in the settings, then in the Verification Center (or, if you prefer, the Verification Center). You'll find your ID or whatever is required. [02:18] ID or whatever is required. After verifying your identity and After verifying your identity and creating an eBay account, you'll be asked for creating an eBay account, you'll be asked for more information. We'll complete that here in the [02:30] checkout center. Okay, we're done. We should have opened a Payoneer account after it's approved should have opened a Payoneer account after it's approved and everything is fine. Go to eBay, click on " Resume," and fill in your information. After filling in [02:46] Resume," and fill in your information. After filling in the information, click on "Create Account." It will ask for your the information, click on "Create Account." It will ask for your [02:58] you've created an eBay account easily. Creating an eBay account is very easy. Creating an eBay account is very easy. We're still just a regular buyer account; we have n't created an account yet because you'll be a seller. [03:12] n't created an account yet because you'll be a seller. Click on "Sell," then click on "List Items." To Click on "Sell," then click on "List Items." To create an account, you need to list a product for sale. You need to list your first product. That's why I've prepared a product; we'll list it together, and I'll show you the steps on [03:28] how to list or sell it. The first thing we'll see is a request to write the product address. What is the thing that We're going to sell it. We've got it ready here. This is the [03:42] going to sell it. We've got it ready here. This is the product title; it's a cap. We write "ite" here and click search. Okay, what's the condition of this product? It will ask if it's new will ask if it's new or not. We'll always tell you that [03:55] or not. We'll always tell you that later. It will ask you for the shipping information or address you'll be shipping from. Where will you be shipping [04:12] ready to post your first product here. First, the place for the images or the main product images. If you have a video of the broker, put it [04:26] here. Okay, we have images; we'll upload them here. These are the images. Okay, after we uploaded the images, we got these images from AliExpress. This is a site we use to get products from, and there are [04:38] many other sites. In this video, we won't talk in detail about the products, but we'll show you how to post your first product. But in the upcoming videos, we'll talk about how to choose a product that will bring you profits and that is in demand, how to choose a supplier, and whether [04:55] that supplier will ship quickly. How long does it take? Are there any shipping problems? We'll find out all of that in the upcoming videos. shipping problems? We'll find out all of that in the upcoming videos. But today, we're showing you how to download the But today, we're showing you how to download the first Pro version after we write and [05:09] first Pro version after we write and upload the images. Here's the title we upload the images. Here's the title we wrote, but we'll notice that eBay's character limit is 80 wrote, but we'll notice that eBay's character limit is 80 characters. So, here, you'll find the word "Food [05:22] Boo" is incomplete, and the "Football" is also incomplete. We'll Boo" is incomplete, and the "Football" is also incomplete. We'll delete it. Okay, here it suggests delete it. Okay, here it suggests product characteristics. It suggests them to make things [05:34] easier for you, so it asks, for example, "Is this a camouflage pattern?" camouflage pattern?" Say "Yes." Okay, then Say "Yes." Okay, then the category. Okay, like the brand. Is [05:50] your product from a specific brand or a well-known brand? If it's not from a well-known brand, you tell it that it's well-known brand? If it's not from a well-known brand, you tell it that it's branded, or you write it down. It tells you these are required fields, and you absolutely must fill them in because this information is important for the customer. Okay, what color is it? We [06:07] can say "multicolor." Regarding sizes, we can say "Are all these things sizes, we can say "Are all these things one size?" For example, baseball style. We'll one size?" For example, baseball style. We'll then find options that we can fill in [06:22] or not, but the more you fill in, the more chances you have if the buyer is searching for them while purchasing. For example, the material section here tells you that [06:34] material section here tells you that 179,500 people search for the material next to the word " 179,500 people search for the material next to the word " hat" or "cap." When hat" or "cap." When you add the rest of this data, it increases your chances. For [06:47] example, we could say polyester, anything goes. Features: Does this cap have any properties? Adjustable? Can it be modified? Lightweight? Water resistant? Water resistant? We can check [07:04] all of these. Of course, it depends on the product you're offering. We're offering them randomly now offering. We're offering them randomly now because this is just an example. All of this will be applied to your specific product. Then it asks if, for example, it's customizable. Does this [07:20] asks if, for example, it's customizable. Does this product mean you're making it specifically for the buyer? For example, can the buyer print their picture or name on it? If yes, then... If you're selling something, you can personalize it or customize it for [07:38] that specific buyer. You'll tell them "yes" or "no." Okay, then the description. The description is very important. You can write it yourself, or you can use AI to write it for you. No problem. I have a description ready here, but we don't have to use it. We can say "use AI's description" [07:54] using the title you wrote. It will write a good description for you. Of course, after you read it and make sure it's suitable for the broadcast, if you want to edit something, that's fine too. Okay, then we come to Prime. [08:08] something, that's fine too. Okay, then we come to Prime. On eBay, there are two types of selling: On eBay, there are two types of selling: Buy Now, and you can do it like an Buy Now, and you can do it like an auction. What does that mean? For example, if you're selling a [08:20] used item, the auction format is more common with used items. For example, someone might more common with used items. For example, someone might list a phone, starting with a dollar, and then someone else will bid higher, saying, "No, I'll buy it for $2 or $3," and they'll continue in an auction until the highest bidder... [08:37] When the auction ends and they see who submitted the highest bid, that's who buys the product. submitted the highest bid, that's who buys the product. But for all the products we list, [08:50] we'll use ByteNow because the price is calculated precisely. We calculate the is calculated precisely. We calculate the price including our profit, shipping costs, eBay's commission, and everything else. So we won't leave it to chance for [09:04] to chance for the buyer to set a price. We always set the price, for example, anything. This is also an example, as we said, let's say 1999. We mark the request and [09:16] provide the amount. Here, we said the quantity. Let's say five. There's something called offers. What are offers? We said here that we set the price at set the price at 1999. If I have these offers open, the buyer can [09:31] 1999. If I have these offers open, the buyer can send me an offer saying, for example, that they want to buy it, but for $18 or $15 only, and I accept or reject it. So, is this useful? Honestly, [09:44] sometimes Sometimes it's still beneficial, and sometimes you find people trying to lower the and sometimes you find people trying to lower the price of the product itself, but it actually makes it [09:57] price of the product itself, but it actually makes it more attractive. So, based on your experience, for more attractive. So, based on your experience, for example, I might close the discount on 80% of the products I example, I might close the discount on 80% of the products I offer because I feel it [10:10] might reduce opportunities. But it depends on the strategy, on reduce opportunities. But it depends on the strategy, on each product, but I usually close it. Now, there's something called volume pricing. What is it? If you want to make an offer like the ones [10:25] in stores, like "buy two, you'll get those two at a certain discount," or " like "buy two, you'll get those two at a certain discount," or " three for a certain price instead of another," that's volume pricing. three for a certain price instead of another," that's volume pricing. For example, "buy in, save 10%, buy 3 and save [10:41] For example, "buy in, save 10%, buy 3 and save 15%, buy 4 and get a 20% discount." Of course, you can adjust 15%, buy 4 and get a 20% discount." Of course, you can adjust this as you like. Sometimes it's very profitable, but this as you like. Sometimes it's very profitable, but there's a point to consider: if the shipping cost from the supplier is [10:55] there's a point to consider: if the shipping cost from the supplier is fixed for each product, I increase the price. For example, if I'm selling caps, if I buy them from the supplier at the price I'll pay them, the price includes [11:07] shipping. Buy one item, it's fixed. If I buy two, if I buy three, I'll pay the shipping cost. Let's say the shipping cost is $5. If I buy five items, I'll still pay $5. If I buy [11:19] ten items, I'll still pay $5. At that point, the volume pricing system becomes very profitable volume pricing system becomes very profitable for me. Okay, if you feel you didn't understand this example well, don't rush; you'll understand all these details later. As [11:36] these details later. As we said, we'll just post the first product and show you the we said, we'll just post the first product and show you the eBay interface. Now, here you can eBay interface. Now, here you can schedule your product to be released on a specific date. [11:50] schedule your product to be released on a specific date. You set a release date, for example, and it's made like a draft. Then it's released and displayed for people to buy on a specific date. people to buy on a specific date. Sometimes this is useful. Next, regarding shipping, [12:04] Sometimes this is useful. Next, regarding shipping, if you know the weight and dimensions of your product, this is written on the product page on AliExpress, Amazon, or whichever supplier we're getting the product from. You can take the details and put them in. Okay, then... It asks if the shipping price [12:22] and put them in. Okay, then... It asks if the shipping price varies from place to place or is fixed regardless of the buyer's location. I usually keep it a fixed price; I calculate the shipping cost regardless of the location [12:34] fixed price; I calculate the shipping cost regardless of the location and set a fixed figure. It then asks which shipping service or company you'll use. USPS is the US Postal Service. It tells you that your product will arrive in two [12:50] It tells you that your product will arrive in two to five days. Will your product, which you bought from AliExpress or Amazon, actually arrive within this actually arrive within this timeframe? If it will, great. If not, then [13:04] timeframe? If it will, great. If not, then this service won't work for us. For example, this service won't work for us. For example, if we're dropshipping a product from China, it might take around 14 days. So, in this case, if the product is delayed beyond [13:18] this time, we need to change the USPS service. change the USPS service. Click here for "Services," and we'll find a Click here for "Services," and we'll find a shipping method available. For example, if [13:33] the order from China takes a long time, we can choose Economy Shipping (1-10 days). Here, we can set the shipping price to $4, plus an [13:47] set the shipping price to $4, plus an additional $2 per item. To increase demand for the order or product, we can make it Free Shipping. In this case, there's [14:00] make it Free Shipping. In this case, there's no shipping charge, but we should still no shipping charge, but we should still factor it into the final product price. All these details will be explained in the upcoming videos. [14:14] Here, we'll discuss Handling Time. Handling Time, or Processing Time, is the time from when the order arrives until it's [14:26] shipped. It depends on the processing time of the supplier you're buying from. You supplier you're buying from. You can increase it or leave it as is. This is the address we're shipping from. Here, I've stated that I ship [14:42] shipping from. Here, I've stated that I ship from United. States accept returns or not? It from United. States accept returns or not? It might or might not, depending on where you source your product from. If the supplier is from China, the return policy is difficult. But if the supplier is in [14:58] the US, like Amazon, the return policy is possible. International returns mean that if the customer is in one country and you ship from another, for [15:12] example, if you're shipping from the United States and the customer is in Australia, then that's international return. Do you agree to return a Do you agree to return a product from one country to another? This is very common in dropshipping, which is why I always keep the return rate disabled. Okay, that's the [15:27] details. Now, let's move on to something important: ads. Here, if you open this option and select it, ads. Here, if you open this option and select it, it says they'll take 11% [15:41] it says they'll take 11% or 9% of 10% from you for every product you sell in exchange for or 9% of 10% from you for every product you sell in exchange for showing your product more, running ads for it, and putting it on the first pages, but only in exchange for taking that percentage. So, that's one [15:59] thing. If you're going to open this ad, you should calculate it and add it to your product price. Because calculate it and add it to your product price. Because in the end, you might find you've calculated the [16:11] in the end, you might find you've calculated the product price incorrectly, and after eBay takes its commission, or even just the cost of the ads, if you open it, you might find you have no profit. if you open it, you might find you have no profit. This is something you need to calculate carefully. Okay, this is [16:24] This is something you need to calculate carefully. Okay, this is different from that one. How is it different? This one doesn't take different from that one. How is it different? This one doesn't take the 11%; it only takes it when you sell. It takes the 11%; it only takes it when you sell. It takes it from every sale it brings you. So, if [16:36] it from every sale it brings you. So, if sales happen not through this ad, you don't pay anything. But if they happen through the ad, it takes 11% of the profits. Here, the situation is different. Here, it tells you that it will show you ads for a dollar a day. [16:53] will show you ads for a dollar a day. You can change this. Whether you sell or not, it will still You can change this. Whether you sell or not, it will still show your product more often, but it will take show your product more often, but it will take the budget you specify. So, whether you sell [17:06] or not, it only takes from you if you sell. So, I always use this one; it's better. I only use this one in a few cases, not always, but this one is the best for [17:19] me. Okay, next, let's talk about charity. Here, it tells you that you Here, it tells you that you can donate a portion of your sales profits to charities, and it puts a mark [17:34] on your product indicating that part of it goes to charity. Okay, after we've finished goes to charity. Okay, after we've finished all these details, we click on "Listed." all these details, we click on "Listed." We've now listed our product. Next, it [17:48] should ask you to link your account to Payoneer by logging in. It will open a Payoneer login page from within eBay to Payoneer, and then, as [18:01] we said at the beginning, you'll go to the verification center within Payoneer. There will be some information required from you that you need to complete. It will ask for a bill—a water, [18:14] gas, electricity, or any bill—that shows your address. To confirm your address. To confirm your address, you can scan it, even if it's in Arabic. Any invoice in Egypt in Arabic will work. It might be rejected once or twice, but it will be [18:28] accepted eventually. You can scan it using an app like CanCam Scanner, or take a clean photo with your phone and upload it. That's it! We've just showcased our first product on [18:41] We've just showcased our first product on eBay. In upcoming videos, we'll learn eBay. In upcoming videos, we'll learn more about how to choose products, how to choose products that generate good profits, and how to choose a supplier.
