Looking to make money from home? Dropshipping tea can be a good source of extra income for you and your family. This article attempts to inform you of becoming a tea dropshipper by reselling products on e-commerce marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay.

What is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is an order fulfillment method that allows online retailers to resell tea or other products without keeping an inventory. Instead, they partner with a dropshipping supplier and take advantage of their inventory. When they receive an online order, they redirect it to their supplier. Then, the supplier fulfills the order by preparing and shipping the product directly to the end customer.

Thanks to a method called blind shipment, the end customer will never see anything about the drop shipping supplier when they receive the order. They will naturally assume that you are the one, who shipped and prepared the product.

Because you never handle or even lay your eyes on the product that you sell, it is important to you find a reliable dropshipping supplier. A reliable supplier will offer fast shipment, up-to-date inventory data (so that you can avoid overselling), and true wholesale prices.

Deciding where to sell tea is just as important as choosing your supplier and products. You could either sell on your own online store or an e-commerce marketplace such as Amazon and eBay. While choosing where to sell, you should consider your overall goal. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages.

So, you have decided to become a tea dropshipper. You do not have the time or money to deal with marketing and search engine optimization. You just want to make some extra income with minimal risks. In this case, you should sell tea on e-commerce marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay, instead of more time consuming and adventurous option: opening your own online store.

Giant online marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay come with large audiences. You do not have to drive traffic to your store with marketing. However, you have to compere with other third-party sellers, who offer the same product.

To be able to compete better, you need to make customer`s happy. When your seller`s rating is higher, you earn credibility, which leads to more sales. Your supplier`s reliability is an important factor in your seller`s rating. This is because how fast your ship and the condition of the order depend on them.
