📚 What This Video Covers

• Why Use AliExpress for eBay Dropshipping:


Affordable prices (direct from manufacturers), global reach, and 30%+ profit margins.


✅ Pro Tip: Stick with AliExpress Choice sellers for faster delivery and better buyer protection.

• Challenges & How to Handle Them:


– Longer shipping times: Use realistic handling policies (3–4 days).


– Quality control: Vet sellers (ratings above 90%, 4.6+ feedback, verified Choice badge).


✅ Tip: Always review “Item as described,” “Communication,” and “Shipping speed” scores before listing.

• Account Setup Made Easy:


Create a buyer account, verify by email, add a card or PayPal for payments.


✅ Insight: Add payment methods early — it speeds up future orders and refunds.

• Finding Profitable Products:


Use ZIK Analytics Market Insights to find real eBay trends powered by data — not guesses.


✅ Pro Tip: Focus on niches with 500%+ sell-through rate and 50%+ success listings (e.g., hats, gadgets, seasonal items).

• Winning Product Methods:


1️⃣ Manual Sourcing: Copy keywords from top eBay sellers → search on AliExpress.


2️⃣ ZIK Integration: Click the AliExpress icon in ZIK to instantly find supplier matches.


3️⃣ Trending eBay Products: Discover daily hot sellers ready for dropshipping.


4️⃣ Trending Dropshippers: Spy on rising eBay sellers to uncover top-selling AliExpress items.


5️⃣ Product Explorer: Filter by sales, supplier, profit, and exclude risky items.

✅ Tip: Aim for 30–40% profit margins. Average item should sell 2× its source cost.

• Listing Optimization:


Use ZIK Title Builder to create keyword-rich, data-backed titles.


✅ Example: “Walker Cup Holder Mount for Wheelchair Rollator Bike – Universal Drink New.”

✅ Insight: Use ChatGPT to rewrite product descriptions for originality — Cassini rewards unique listings.

• eBay Business Policies (Tailored for AliExpress):


– Payment: Require immediate payment.


– Shipping: “Economy from outside US (11–23 days)” + 3-day handling.


– Returns: 30-day window, “Money Back” refund.


✅ Pro Tip: Always exclude risky or unsupported countries.

• Order Fulfillment:


Start manually: copy buyer details → checkout on AliExpress → enter tracking in eBay.


Later, automate with AutoDS + ZIK integration (for one-click import and auto-ordering).


✅ Tip: Enable “Exclude Vero Brands” and “Restricted Keywords” to protect your store.

• Managing Returns:


Open disputes in AliExpress → select “Return Goods” or “Refund Only.”


✅ Pro Tip: Many sellers prefer issuing refunds without return for low-cost items — use this to your advantage.

• Promoted Listings (for Visibility):


Set up Standard campaigns at 3–4% ad rate.


✅ Insight: You pay only if the sale happens — no wasted budget.
