Thoughts on apps that help you with drop shipping on other applications.

Recently, I used an application called Printful to create Manchester City merchandise to sell on my eBay store. I had one order in a matter of days !

It was a t- shirt that had the Manchester City logo with the phrase “Champions 4 In A Row”. For the 2 t-shirts I sold I got £16.83. I had to pay £20.01 to Printful in order to fulfil the order. Thus , I made a loss. From this learning experience I know now that Ebay takes a lot of money off you in tax. Printful says you have made a profit but you don't. This is because Ebay doesn't give you the money for the shipping, only gives you the cash for the order. 

It would have been good if you didn't have to pay anything or if it was cheaper so that you could have a bigger profit. Another problem is that Ebay payment comes after a big wait. This probably happens because the company isn't that big ,and needs the profit themselves in order to run. I personally think it's best to have a machine which allows you to put text or logos onto the shirt and just put the shirt in a box with a label and just drop it off for delivery to reach your customer.

*Haven't tried the other drop shipping options so I don't know which one is the best one. I wrote this article so people will know about the Printful and Ebay link before they made a decision whether they should have a business on selling merchandise.

Please comment your thoughts! Thanks.
