Amazon to Ebay Copy and paste you gotta have a bankroll before you get there
Thanks Katie for the insight great article by the way if you are talking Amazon everyone is big on DSD right now that is where you copy items from Amazon and sell them on Ebay.
It is a good way to make money but not if you are brand new and don't already have an established Ebay seller account and a established Paypal account older than 90 days because Paypal withholds your funds for a minimum of 21 days if it is a brand new account.
Ebay
Plus you have to have more than 25 sales on your seller account on Ebay as well or they will hold you funds as well just word to the wise Ebay Owns Paypal so be careful out there. I have tried that as well and got into huge Trouble with customers because of this very thing. Things were going great I was making good sales for a couple of months over the Christmas holidays the I got sick and was hospitalized for the first two months of 2014.
Papal
Papal was holding my funds back for the 21 days so I could not cover all the cost for the products I had to buy from Amazon then (the shipments were late and customers got mad I don't blame them for that a at all I would too).
Ebay
So the complaints started pouring into Ebay where is my product and so on I was in the hospital at the time and could not contact every customer to tell the what was going on my account blew up with complaints all day long.
There was nothing much I could do with only my cellphone I could not afford to call over the place to every customer and try and explain so I told ebay the situation and they said I had to have over 25 legit sales on my account then the could reduce the hold to 3 days instead of 21 meaning the package had to be delivered to the customer and verified by ebay and paypal by tracking number that the customer received the goods an then paypal would release your funds 3 days later. Don't try this on a limited budget it does not work trust me.
Buyer Beware
Don't Try this without Financial backing behind you like a credit card with a minimum $200.00 of credit to purchase products from Amazon while you wait to get your money from Pay pal.
If you are in this business right now please read this first trust me been there done that and still paying for it.

I was just about to try this, now I will rethink the timing. I don't have a bankroll. Hope you are better now. Thanks for sharing this.
Good to know since I was intending to us PayPal to send and receive funds. Thank you. I hope you are now feeling better.
Thank you for the heads up and information. Thought about doing this but seems way too much trouble for a few dollars.
there has been a couple of posts on this sort of thing, do not know enough to attempt this one,
yes that is the way it is supposed to work but buyer beware you can get in a lot of trouble
Hey Kyle just read your blog about Scams to avoid and just published a Review on DSD or Amazon to Ebay just a heads up to everyone in the WA community thinking going that route if so please read this first.
DSD?? What is that? How do you copy an item and sell on eBay? Do you mean have inventory on both places or are you buying off Amazon and selling on eBay?
The company is DS Domination. DS standing for Drop Shipping. Basically the process is taking information and products from Amazon and selling them on Ebay for a higher price. Whenever someone buys/wins and auction on Ebay you order the product from amazon and have it shipped to the winner on Ebay.
I plan on doing a review of the system here soon, but no clue how well it works. people are making good money off of it, but like Degan2014 says it will require you having an established ebay account, credit card, or start up money.
DS Domination here is a blog I wrote about them...

as well as a review I did on my avoidscamsonline.siterubix.com

They are breaking a LOT of policies with Amazon alone.
That's not true!! You don't know what you're talking about. I don't even have a DS Domination account, but I've researched this for a month now...and it is not a scam but as degan says, you have to have some sales under your belt before starting the process.
