As a seller and a buyer on ebay i've noticed something that is pretty obvious, drop shipping is not a way to do business.

I shop on ebay because im pretty sure i can buy almost anything for cheaper than i can in any retail store. The only draw back is that i will have to wait for it to go through the sellers process of shipping and transit time before i get it.

To be honest, i want it cheap and i want it NOW !  =)

What i noticed was the sellers with high amounts of negative feedback regarding " no item " and " no email response / poor communication " are largely due to the fact that they drop ship and have no idea where your item is , when it shipped and do not have any information about it's whereabouts in transit.

I highly suggest that you use paypal for all your transactions. As a seller i am required to provide a tracking number for the item shipped when a claim is filed in paypal. May i also mention that filing a claim with ebay instead of paypal for an item that did not arrive does not hold the seller accountable but only provides a common ground for communication.

I know i have mentioned about that we all want our items Now! - But please also add that we are all relying on the usps to get your mailed payments to the seller and item's shipped to our buyers. We are all at their mercy, so practicing a little patience with sellers who offer full free coverage goes a long way.

I hope that helps =)
