and Shopify so eBay is a search engine just like Google where people go to
search for products and Shopify is where you need to drive traffic through your
website to get buyers so now that we have the main differences let's just
elaborate a little drive traffic and make sales because eBay is a search engine
you don't need to be worried about traffic all you need to do is list your
items to your eBay store with simple research and you should start making sales
because eBay has over 180 million buyers that search for products on a daily
basis so you can start drop shipping on eBay with zero investment just a lot of
traffic on eBay to do the job for you to be able to make sales on Shopify you
need to try of traffic of relevant people that are actually willing to buy your
items to drive traffic you can use different traffic sources like Google Ads or
Facebook Ads most people drive traffic from Facebook which is super expensive and
you can't start without investing money and the more money you can invest the
higher your chances to make a profit using Shopify finding products to sell when
drop should bring on eBay you can use tools like Zeke analytics that show your
accurate data on the sales history of items sold on eBay the competition and
which title to use to drive sales you can even research other eBay sellers to
see what some of their top selling items are and once you have found your item
all you need to do is optimize the title list it to your store and you're good
to go find a product to sell on Shopify includes research on Facebook Aliexpress
and Google Trends and even if you do use all of these tools you will never be
100% sure if this data is accurate once you have finally found an item to sell
then begins of like the start of a whole new project which is preparing your
item to be sold set up time how easy is it to start just start selling on eBay
all you need is an eBay account a PayPal account and some time to research new
items and in the end once you do find your item you then list it to your store
and just wait for sales and there's no money invested you don't need to think
about getting traffic through your products because eBay does the job for you
to start selling on Shopify you need to create a website write content find
products prepare creative Facebook Ads start running those ads optimize those Ahead's
but for winning ads and hopefully in the end make sales if you haven't managed
to find a winning product you need to go through this process again and again
investing more money and time selling on eBay we are obligated to follow and
respect them policies we can't contact our buyers for promotional purposes and
we can't miss or delay shipping if we do those things we automatically put our
seller account at risk traffic is huge on eBay but we do have a limit eBay does
have 180 million buyers which is a lot but I mean it's still a limit so we also
have the risk of getting our seller account shut down so if you don't follow
the eBay rules your account will get shut down it's simple as that there will
be no questions asked selling inside the marketplace so we are selling inside
eBay so again we are obligated to follow their rules when selling on Shopify
you're free to do as you wish you can build your email list re target customers
you can even delay shipping without the risk of getting your website shut down but
obviously still avoid that at all costs because you don't want to harm your
brand selling on Shopify you have unlimited potential of traffic promoting your
product on Facebook or eBay gives you an audience of hundreds of millions you
still do have to pay to get that traffic but potentially it's unlimited eBay is
a great platform and it is the best way to start a job shipping business with
zero investment but it still has its limitations and risks it's important for
me to keep that clear besides the fact that eBay requires zero investment the
percentage of people that start an eBay drop shipping business managed to make
high amounts of money as for Shopify selling on your own website using Shopify,
you have the freedom to do whatever you want without the risk of losing your
website however it is very important to keep high in customer service for your
brand and your future to start a Shopify, drop shipping business you need to
have money in order to drive traffic from Facebook and if you have a low budget
then Shopify will be the wrong place to start that sums up our eBay versus
Shopify video in the description you will find a complete guide on how to start
