Long-term I don’t think eBay is a viable way to dropship products with real success. You may always be able to make small profits from it but you wouldn’t be able to expand into a bigger, stronger and more profitable business.

Long term I always recommend dropshipping from your own website rather than auction and classified websites, mainly because of profit margins.

Taking your own photos can also give you a competitive edge.
