Perhaps you have been thinking of starting an online dropship business and are wondering if internet auction sites allow dropship sellers?
The answer is that some do allow dropship selling. Let’s take a look at a few of them and see what the general situation is on these sites for sellers who dropship their products.
Here is a list of 8 internet auction sites and their policies regarding the use of dropshippers:
eBay:
Although eBay doesn’t specifically prohibit dropship sellers, proceed at your own risk! As a rule, eBay buyers have been brainwashed to expect instant gratification and don’t like waiting on an item.
Still, if you have a good product at a good price and make the delivery time frame clear right up front, you might be okay.
Amazon:
Amazon has no restrictions about dropship sellers and is very seller friendly. Buyers are reasonable and as long as their item is delivered without a huge delay, everything is ok.
Amazon buyers generally could care less whether the seller is dropshipping or not. Customer location does not appear to be a problem of any kind. Amazon has a LOT of traffic, clearly a boon to sellers!
ECrater:
No policies or rules that affect dropshipping adversely.
Buyer location shouldn’t be a problem. The average buyer on this site seems reasonable with normal expectations of a seller.
Overstock:
No rules or policies prohibiting dropshipping sellers. Overstock is easy to use and seller friendly.
This site also has a lot of traffic, which makes it a tasty prospect for dropship sellers.
Buyers on Overstock seem to be your average online shoppers and dropshipping shouldn’t be a problem.
Google Base:
No rules or policies prohibiting dropship sellers.
Buyers appear to be average online shoppers with reasonable expectations, so dropshipping should be fine.
Buyer location doesn’t appear to present any difficulties.
NeoLoch:
NeoLoch has no restrictions or rules against dropship selling.
This site seems to have normal, run-of-the-mill buyers who don’t expect to pay for their item and have it delivered to their front door in an hour or less. So, dropshipping products should work well as long as the buyers are kept informed of shipping progress and approximate delivery dates.
Bidtopia:
No policies or rules that prohibit or otherwise restrict dropship selling.
Buyers seem reasonable. If you have a good product at a decent price, and let buyers know an approximate date for delivery of their purchase, you shouldn’t encounter any problems here with dropship selling.
eBid:
This site may soon be giving eBay a run for its money! Very seller friendly, thousands of listings which means a lot of traffic and exposure for your items, no rules against dropship selling. Buyers seem normal and reasonable. Location doesn’t appear to be a problem.
All of these auction sites are open to dropship selling and are viable venues for the internet entrepreneur!

Andrew, sorry this is a bit off topic…
One of the most reliable ways that I have found of building links is to syndicate my blog with other like minded individuals. If you look at the Google Friend Connect panel on my blog, you will see that I (presently) have 58 “Friends”; of these, 47 are people with whom I syndicate.
Whenever one of us in the group makes a new post, we, as a group, have agreed to give some credibility to that post on one or more of the social media web sites. This either by way of a save, digg, clip, etc., and sometimes a comment on those social web sites.
We only perform these actions provided that the content posted meets our own, individual, sense of quality.
However, all this social activity by our group serves to increase search engine visibility and rankings, which in turn means that our posts receive greater attention by people outside our group (i.e. traffic).
Every time I post, I get more social activity and visibility – more visibility = more traffic = more visibility
As one of my colleagues puts it “We have a Perpetual Internet Traffic Machine”
