Is Amazon to eBay dropshipping still worth trying?

[Tatarum]

I've been selling on eBay for a while and recently noticed that quite a few products on Amazon are cheaper than the same items on eBay. That got me looking into Amazon to eBay dropshipping, where the Amazon order only gets placed after somebody buys from the eBay listing. It sounds tempting because there's no inventory sitting around, but I'm worried about Amazon changing prices, items going out of stock, or tracking causing problems after the sale. How do people keep all of that under control without watching every listing all day?

The first few sales are probably the easy part because there aren't many moving pieces yet. Trouble starts when several listings change at once and an order lands before the seller notices. Keep the first batch small, stick to products with stable stock, and leave enough margin for Amazon price changes. A stock and price monitor also makes sense fairly early, because checking every source page by hand gets old very quickly.

The awkward stuff usually starts after the buyer has already paid. At that point there are delivery dates, tracking, returns, and eBay rules to think about, and a small mistake can suddenly become the seller's problem. There’s a guide about Amazon to eBay dropshipping here . It goes through the parts that are easy to miss when the whole idea still looks simple from the outside. The sections about pricing, tracking, and automation are probably the ones worth reading before adding a lot of listings.
