Hi guys,

Am looking to start up a little drop shipping side business on the auction site that must not be named, with chinese made products. I'm struggling to get started as nobody seems to be buying, with so many people doing it, even with competitive pricing I need a way of standing out a little bit. I'm starting a blog and am hoping someone could design me a basic but cool looking logo I could use.

My ebay page is removed, I could use help with a logo for my wordpress blog I'm starting but am useless when it comes to graphic design. Any help would be massively appreciated.

You need to create around 10 accounts. Sell all your items at a loss until you move up the rankings and occupy a good portion of the top 10.( This is going to take along time and cost a lot of money.).

Then up your price so your making a small profit on each item and watch it rain money while your sipping strawberry daiquiris in the Bahamas.
 
I work as a marketing executive at a TOP London agency so I did a quick design for you.

Today, with sites like Fiverr, good logos are two a penny. To stand out I highly recommend that you go back to basics.

If you'd like to make use of my logo design fire over an email to [email protected] and my assistant Erica will help you with arranging payment for a nominal fee.

OP, why do people buy from you when places like Wish.com is mega insanely cheap for all things Chinese made?

Sure it takes about a week postage but when you order 10 things you dont need at 10% of the RRP of Robert Dyas and then forget about them, its like christmas but with crap you chose rather than crap other people chose.
 
To be honest I'd not heard of wish, but then why are people regularly making sales on ebay with the same products, probably because a lot of people haven't heard about wish.

The thing is I'm looking at drop shipping initially just as a way to build some capital, before going wholesale and defining a niche. It's a stop gap rather than a business model however I'm hoping by offering excellent customer service I can win over atleast some potential customers. I just want to do something to try and better the lives of my family.
 
Sadly due to not having enough start up capital I wasn't able to get it up and running, the idea is still definitely there for the future but when I can afford to move forward with it.

Look I'm just trying my best to make some money to help support my family, I work damn hard now and am doing much better in my life than I have been in a long time. I'm going back to college in September having been accepted for a level 2 IT course and am working at the minute, 5 nights a week on the doors a job that pays just enough to pay all my weekly bills and expenses but leaves me with very little in the way of disposable income.

Had my psychotic ex not anihiliated my credit rating before I left and had I not suffered with mental illness for years then I'd have had a business loan and would have hopefully been well on my way to making a living. As it stands I've just been accepted for my first credit builder credit card with Vanquis, after 5 years not being able to get credit, this is a huge thing for me, and will be fixing my credit file slowly but surely so I can hopefully get some reasonable credit in the future.

In the meantime though, like I say I'm just trying to make some money to help support my family.
 
Again you're going to suffer the same issues which a fully costed out business plan would highlight, margins. With no cash behind you and trying to start on ebay dropshipping you will have no control over your full process, paying out extra for someone to do the work for you, no advertising budget to give the products a push, can't drop the prices as low as the competition because they get the maximum discounts available through ebay and paypal. Also you're taking on all the risk because even if you manage to make a 10% margin on a £10 sale from China, all it takes is one ebay dispute over the quality of your item and you need to sell 9 more just to recover the item cost from that bad sale. If you had 2-3k to put behind the business to sell at break even to get into the discount brackets and gain good feedback quickly then I'd say go for it, but it's a very time consuming process to get this sort of thing off the ground and if you're going back to college in 3 months time I'd be wanting to get into a routine of study, not trying to nurture an ebay store. You need to spend money to make money, if I needed cash right now then I'd be looking for a mcjob but if I can afford to spend cash right now and expect it to start paying out in a year or two, ebay.
