Happy birthday to me

Just bought 3 more domains for my adsense for adsense for domain project. Seems this is worth compare to my previous domain bought. For this trial, I did some research for adsense high paying keywords before get those 3 domain name.

Sometime I feel like I suppose to setup a blog for the niche but when I had second thought, I can't focus on too many blog since I already have about 10 blogs. Besides, ebay is my no 1 target this year. Adsense will be my side project for online income. Perhaps I will be more into Adsense for domain (AFD).

I'm knackered now, just back from my 1st anniversary with wife and I'm officially getting older by today.

happy birthday to me.

I've been busy traveling from Muar - KL- Muar for Adam Harith. Updating my blogs that already growing in numbers. Maintain my ebay stores and my core bisnes. And comes to worse, I got cold since yesterday after came back from KL.

Now I have to reschedule my activities for offline and online business. perhaps it is not too late for me to have my 2010 resolution (I don't have specific resolution on New Year). My hectic life sometimes make me too exhausted.. (I think it is double up when my head had too many things).

I'll try to generate more money from online bisnes, rather than offline. Hope this is will be comes true. I also want to have side income from ebay dropship. I will do it again, to pay up my frustration in 2009 doing ebay dropshipping.

Seriously, I'm exhausted.

Dropship : Megagoods still relevan?

I've decided to close my account with Megagoods since I'm no longer using their service. Unfortunately, after I close my account, the remaining balance can't be refunded and I have to use it.


My email to megagoods:

Hi there,

I would like to close my account with megagoods since the company is not reliable with the order payment. Besides, the membership fee really not practical as there are so many other dropshipper doesn't charge for the membership.

Would you please refund my remaining balance ($31.76) to my paypal account - ******@yahoo.com

Thanks.

Megagoods replies:

Dear Customer,

Since the credit has been available for close to 6 months it is no longer refundable and must be used.

Ebay News : Postal Services Strike in Australia

This is the message I received from ebay:

We would like to inform our members that industrial action by Australian postal workers could disrupt some Australia Post services from 22 December 2009. Australia Post has announced that they anticipate that 75% of their workforce will not strike and have put in place contingencies to minimize disruptions. Look out for more updates on eBay Australia's Announcement Board on this link:

http://www2.ebay.com/aw/marketing-au.shtml

If you are currently in a transaction or selling items to an eBay Australia member, we would like to encourage you to start communicating with the buyers and let them know about the potential delay. We hope that by doing so, you can avoid additional questions, disputes or poor feedback. 

Regards,
The eBay Team

I just made a plan to start selling on ebay Australia but the news sounds bad to me. I have to hold the plan first. We'll wait and see...

Ebay dropship : Wholesale pearls jewellery from the largest freshwater pearl company

I found http://www.orientalpearls.net a wholesales pearl jewelry company with the biggest selections of freshwater pearls online market. The price offered are at the lowest wholesale cost, which means very reliable for ebay dropship business. The U.S.A based company make it easier for dropshippers to arrange for shipment and avoiding custom tax.

Normally gold and pearl jewelry are good combination to make pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, pearl bracelet, pearl pendants and pearl rings. On ebay dropship program, dropship jewellery might not as famous as any other dropshipping business. But since there are still on demands, it means you still have a chance to make money. Besides, there are less competitors for pearl jewelry, rather than clothing, dvds, toys and etc.

Do some research on pearl for ideal pearl on demand. Here are some popular searches for pearl jewelry :

• 
• pearl necklace
• pearl bracelets
• pearl quality
• black pearl necklace
• cultured pearl necklace
• silver pearl
• black pearl earrings
• white pearl

There is an advantage if the jewelry supplier company can accept custom order for any colored Pearls with 9K/14K/18K Gold or 925 Silver Jewelry. Custom order will make your listed items different from any order ebay dropshippers, which Orientalpearls did. They also offer discount pearl jewelry. Are you ready to be one of the best dropshipper with pearls?

Ebay to pay LVMH 80,000 euros in Paris Court

"Selling counterfeit brands"
"Perfume case involves adwords purchased from Google"
"Fine against eBay far less than LVMH requested"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 18 (Reuters) - A Paris tribunal has found that eBay Inc (EBAY.O) violated LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA (LVMH.PA) trademarks in keyword searches, but the fine of 80,000 euros ($117,600) leveled against the Internet company was far less than the French luxury brand had hoped for.

EBay said the sum was far less than the 4 million euros in damages originally requested by LVMH. But the online company that connects buyers and sellers still faces a raft of pending litigation accusing it of selling counterfeit brands on its site, putting it at risk of far steeper fines.

A host of perfume and cosmetic brands under the LVMH umbrella -- including Christian Dior, Kenzo, Givenchy and Guerlain -- had sued eBay claiming the California-based company illegally used their brands in keyword searches powered by Google Inc (GOOG.O) technology.

Unlike other lawsuits brought against eBay by luxury brands such as Tiffany & Co (TIF.N) and L'Oreal SA (OREP.PA), the LVMH case did not accuse eBay of peddling counterfeit goods. The case targeted instead the practice of buying and selling adwords that feature a brand name... click here to read more (source Reuters).



It really a shock news for me as I really can't imagine how bad it is for using 'keywords purchased' from Google Adwords. What more can I say, as 'money' is a GOD for some people. They don't really care for using, selling or copying intellectual rights property. Now ebay are in big trouble. So do other ebayers?

Ebay tips for dropshipper : final value fees

BEWARE with final ebay fees when you are practicing ebay dropship. I admit it is easy to get sales through dropshipping, but please bare in mind as high the price goes, the fees will be higher as well. At the end, you just make very tiny little profit, but the amount you've sold is very expensive (which is good to achieve ebay power seller status).

To make sure you earn profitable margin through ebay dropship, find items with less competition at low or medium price (less than usd $ 30 - $50). Think smart, calculate the final value fees as well when you want to make a listing.

All the best!

Update : Shipping status from Totaldropshipper.com

I found 1 organic search came in to this blog trough Yahoo search, looking for "totaldropshipper.com" . This is related to the previous entry, about review of the dropship company status.

Until today, the items I ordered, still under "waiting for shipment", while I already refunded the buyer. Yet, they still didn't reply or give any news about my order status.

So this is to declare that totaldropshipper.com is one of scam dropshipping company that must be avoid. Scam dropship company!

Dropship to eBay UK or ebay US?

Have you make up your mind where to start ebay dropshipping? Which one is better? ebay.com or ebay.co.uk? Based on my analysis, ebay.com have more supplier, and dropshipping has been practiced for quite long time rather than ebay.co.uk.

If you are dealing with ebay US, you have more competitor, rather than ebay UK.
If you sell on eBay US, the profit margin will be less because of price competition (especially on electronic goods).

How about the wholesale dropship company supplier?

I prefer to get local supplier, rather than China or Hong Kong dropship company. The reason is because of less risk for shipment duration. Besides, your buyer will have more confident for merchandise purchased to reach them. If I sell on ebay US, I will get supplier from US, if I sell on eBay.co.uk, I'll find for UK supplier. The other reason is easier for shipment tracking if paypal ask.

There are many UK and US wholesale company have partnership with Hong Kong or China company (because they are dealing with China products). The price is not much different especially when you have to deal with shipping cost.

Which one you prefer?

Find the right eBay wholesale dropship directory

After I start doing ebay dropshiping, I found that it is quite easy to earn money using this method. This is because dropship company provide varieties that make me looks 'arrogant' with bulks of items... :)

Since I don't use Salehoo, World Wide Brands or any other PAID directory access for ebay wholesale dropship company, I spent lots of time 'google' to find the for the right choice. The risk for googling, sometimes you get it right or you might get trapped with cons.

Lots of websites claimed as ebay wholesale dropship company while they just exist for 1 or 2 years and gone, while some of them still exist and rip off your money. (My money was ripped off for 2 transactions without any news untl now).

For safety (if you are not willing to spend money for PAID ebay wholesale dropship directory, go for forum. YES, forum is the cheaper choice but you still have to spend time checking for the right company.

Good luck!

Get your own web hosting and forget about ebay

I've been using ebay since 2002 until now with same ebay and paypal account. Recently, my old ebay / paypal account has been limit access due to suspicious activity (this one dealing with dropshipping). Unfortunately, it is worsen when another ebay / paypal account with abaya business has the same story because the paypal account are related.

Previously, I am kind of person with full of confident and trust about paypal and ebay. Unfortunately, after 7 years of doing ebay with same paypal account, I have to face the reality that they are not easy. I admit, that was my fault but I'm sure whatever I've tried to restore my account wasn't that easy. They still asking for documentations, again and again even I have explained and provide my ebay ID for reference.

I still remember when blogger friend told me about the importance of having own web hosting platform (paid platform). This is because that is an asset for internet marketer. If we have our own blog / online store with our own web hosting, we can have full control with almost everything. It is kind of an asset to have own web hosting. But here comes another argument. Do we simply choose any web hosting provider or find top web hosting company?

First, we have to look at their performance, records and testimonial from the previous client. Then, search or google for the feedback or reviewabout the web hosting company provider. Why? Because there are bunches of web hosting company arise day after day. As a blogger or internet intrepenur, we have to make sure that our website can be accesible 24/7. This is relate to surfers or buyers from all around the globe - which comes from different time zone.

Top web hosting normally having less of downtime, and excellent help support. That's the main rule for choosing top web hosting company. Top web hosting will ensure their client satisfied with the service provided. I am now will move on from ebay to my own website. Just need sometime to check and anylize the best among top hosting company.

Ebayer : don't waste the traffic

Do you trade on ebay? DO you sell stuffs on ebay? Or you just a buyer? It doesn't matter what kind of ebayer you are. The important part is - manipulate the power of traffic from ebay. Bring some to your blog. Lots of blogger start using ebay as one of source for traffic.

How to get traffic from ebay? It's simple, just make simple description about yourself, and put your blog link on the 'about me' page. There are 3 spaces provided for url link. BEWARE : you are not allowed to put any link to page that are also selling (outside ebay). Don't take the risk, don't make your self suffering ebay account limit access.

Ebay account s

I was sleeping when suddenly one of my ebay customer made a phone call. She said there is nothing displayed on my ebay page! I quite surprised as I just had everything listed and done overnight. Quickly I checked on my ebay listing and here is what ebay said:


"We regret to inform you that your eBay account is prohibited from listing additional items at this time. In order to maintain a safe trading environment, selling limits are occasionally placed on accounts. This selling limit is in no way meant to question your record with eBay or standing within the eBay community. To resolve this situation, please contact eBay's SafeHarbor Department using the Webform on the following help page.
We sincerely value you as a member of our trading community and look forward to a continued successful relationship. We appreciate your cooperation in resolving this matter as quickly as possible."



Doh! Suddently I feel like a rock crushing on my head. Really frustrated and disapointing. I don't really know what happened, but based on my observation, this is due to my paypal account that has been limited couple days before. Whats wrong with my paypal? I simply use it to pay / transfer / buy fund for another ebay account transaction related to dropship items.

Seriously this is hard for me since I have to fax them ... FAX not email, all documentations required. I am stress now. Calm down buddy. Every business has its own risk that you have to take. Solve the problem. Face it, not escape.


Hmmm.. got to do extra job.

Dropship company review : totaldropshipper dot com

Hi,

This is a free review from me after experienced using totaldropshipper dot com.

• Price : very good, cheap and competative!
• Customer service : no body check email.
• Postal support : everybody get sacked - your item still 'awaiting for shipment'
• Payment : they said 'accept paypal' but only credit card provided.. end up your credit / debit card charged for 'NOTHING'

So beware with this dropshipper company. Never ever try to use totaldropshipper.com service as they are conman. Avoid the website. They still have my order under ' awaiting shipment' for since 25th June 2009 until today (09/07/09). They never answer your email and they don't exist for 'a company'. It might be a one man show job. Seriously. So avoid this dropship company!

Paypal Limited Access #2

Rule no. 2 for dropshipper:

Don't panic! Send whatever documents needed by paypal to solve the problem. Ship all items purchased (and paid) by customers. If you can't get it delivered, REFUND. Paypal limited access still can refund the money. It's only you can't send & transfer money only.

Previous entry -

Paypal Limited Access - Dropshipper, beware! (tips no.1 )

Paypal Limited Access - Dropshipper, beware!

Rule no. 1 for dropshipper:

Please aware that your paypal account can easily get limited access if you are dealing with ebay dropshipping activities. To take precautions, make sure your dropship company are providing / can provide proof of posting. The tracking no from courier service is needed when your paypal account has limited access.

Will be back for next tips. Stay tune.

Dropship- What to sell?

If you want to do dropshipping, firstly you have to know what to sell. There are bunches of dropship items can be found available on the market.

1. If you want fast hot item, you can go for electronic products such as wii, ps2, psp, nitendo, xbox (games console), iphone, ipod, sony ericsson, nokia (mobile phone) - which mean you are ready for high competition and low margin profits.
2. If you want to makes yourself comfortable with high profit margin, try to get a supplier with very odd item /or item on demand but hard to find / less competition but still on demand. Some example of these items are ;golf equipment, lawn mowers, paintball gear, printers etc.

If you chose no.2, sometimes it is hard to get a supplier with dropship program. Sometimes you have to deal with them or you can buy bulks from them as a wholesales, and provide your own storage.

So, what's your choice? I'll be back more soon...

Simple rules to deal with dropshipping

Here I'd like to share 3 types of dropshippers company:

1. Send to local market only
2. Send to local and selected international countries.
3. Middleman dropshipper : dropship item from dropshipping company to dropshipper (which they pretend to be a real dropshipping company)


Before you deal with them, make sure to read the FAQs and about page of the wholesale suppliers. What you have to check?

1. Where they are willing to ship the items.
2. What kind of payment the accept? - paypal / money bookers / western union / bank in to account / wire transfer / credit card / check etc. 'Some companies require certain method of payment for international traders.'
3. Do they need membership fees to join as dropshipper? - Sometimes its free but sometime they need 'small' amout to 'verify' the authentic of a dropshipper. This is to avoid public from using wholesale price to purchase for personal use.
4. Real dropship company didn't reveal their wholesale price to public

For US traders, dropship has been practiced for quite sometime while UK traders just get popular with the dropshipping trend. China and Hong Kong wholesalers are really good for supplies of electronic and mobile phone wholesale products, as they are really aware about the demands.

Will be back for more...

Stay tune.
