How to start selling on eBay, Etsy, Amazon & Shopify?
Whether you're looking to launch a business or earn some additional income as a part-time seller, eBay and Etsy offer some of the easiest ways for anyone to start making extra income online.
To begin selling our products on eBay and Etsy you will need a seller account with each of these platforms. Once you've done that, you can explore our catalog and start creating listings on these platforms directly.
Sell our products or create your own with Print On Demand
Our existing catalog features over 2500+ products providing you with a ton of options to kickstart your dropshipping business today. Alternatively, you can consider selling your own products with Print On Demand (POD).
We offer a comprehensive white-label Print On Demand service for Wall Art, Mugs and Stickers, and we guarantee faster delivery and lower prices than industry giants like VistaPrint, Printify, and other leading POD platforms.
When you make a sale
Simply send us the order details via our Retailer App, and we'll take care of shipping the order directly to your customer. We ship all of your orders white-label complete with your own branding and no prices are ever shown to your customers, who will assume that the order came directly from you.
Learn more about how to send us your dropshipping or print-on-demand orders.
Getting Started on eBay
Start by creating an eBay account if you haven't already. It's worth noting that you can start by selling on eBay as a private seller, meaning a business account is not required to get started selling on eBay today.
Whilst eBay does offer the option to open an eBay shop for an additional monthly fee, it's important to know that it is entirely optional and does not provide any additional visibility on the marketplace, though it does give you access to some additional promotional tools.
Once you've opened your eBay account, you can explore our catalog and start creating listings on eBay.
Understanding the Costs of Selling on eBay
For private sellers, listing on eBay is completely free. You will have an allocation of 1000 free listings per month (or more if you have an eBay Shop). After exceeding this monthly allocation, each new listing costs £0.35 GBP per listing, per month.
When it comes to fees there's a final value fee that consists of 12.8% of the total sale amount, which means the item sale price, postage, taxes, and any other applicable fees. Additionally, there is a fixed transaction fee of £0.30 GBP per order.
As a private seller on eBay, there are no monthly fees associated with selling, unless you opt to subscribe and open an eBay shop.
Getting Started on Etsy
Start by creating an Etsy account if you haven't already. You will be given a free Etsy shop that you can personalise with your own name, logo, and branding, along with a customised link that you can promote on social media platforms.
Once you've opened your Etsy account, you can explore our catalog and start creating listings on Etsy.
Understanding the Costs of Selling on Etsy
Each new listing you create on Etsy costs $0.20 USD (approx £0.16 GBP) and remains active for four months or until the item has sold. When you sell an item, you will be charged a renewal fee of $0.20 USD (approx £0.16 GBP) for that listing to be renewed and remain active on the marketplace.
When you sell an item on Etsy, you pay a 6.5% transaction fee along with a £0.20 GBP payment processing fee.
Selling on Etsy has no monthly fees, unless you choose to subscribe to Etsy Plus which offers both listing and advertising credits, that are infact good value for money.

Getting Started on Amazon
Selling on Amazon is very different to other marketplaces. All new Amazon sellers will face early challenges such as account verification and documentation requirements, but the potential rewards are immense, considering Amazon's status as the largest and most successful marketplace in the world.
It's important to note that Amazon primarily caters to business sellers. This means there is emphasis on legal business registrations such as needing to be registered with HMRC as a sole trader, or be registered as a private limited company with Companies House. So, if you want to sell on the Amazon marketplace having a registered business as a sole trader or a limited company is an absolute must.
Understanding the Costs of Selling on Amazon
You can list products on Amazon for free. However, they will charge you a monthly subscription fee of £25 + VAT to maintain your professional selling status and get access to the platform.
Amazon also collects a referral fee on each sale, which is a percentage of the total sale and varies based on the product category. For the types of products that you will find in our catalog, the referral fee generally averages around 16.9%.
Unfortunately, selling on Amazon can be complex particularly for new sellers, but it's definitely worth the effort if you see it through.
Getting Started with Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA)
You can send our products to Amazon Fulfilment Centers (FCs) across the UK and Europe and let Amazon take care of storing, picking, packing and shipping your orders directly to your customers worldwide.
We've made selling on Amazon super easy with FBA
When you choose to sell our products with FBA, you’ll be reaching millions of customers and be able to offer Free 1-Day Delivery through the Fulfilment by Amazon network. On average, those who sell our products with FBA sell up to 35% more product as a result of free 1-day delivery that prime eligible customers get through their ongoing Amazon Prime membership.
Wholesale FBA or Passive FBA Profit Share?
You decide whether to have full control with Wholesale FBA or simply let us handle everything for you with Passive FBA Profit Share.
Wholesale FBA
Opt for Wholesale FBA if you intend on having your own Amazon seller account and managing every aspect of the selling on Amazon process yourself. With this option, you buy our products at wholesale cost and create FBA Shipments that we will prepare and send to Amazon for you.
Passive FBA Profit Share
Opt for Passive FBA Profit Share to eliminate the need of managing your own Amazon seller account. With this option, you buy inventory for products that we sell on Amazon and we will pay you a 'profit share' for every unit of product sold.
Get Started with Shopify
Shopify is by far the most reliable and scalable platform as there’s no overseeing marketplace policies or algorithm to please, and that’s what makes it so reliable. With that said, it’s also the hardest platform to generate sales on — because there’s zero traffic to begin with.
Cost of Selling on Shopify
A Shopify subscription costs $39.00 USD (£25.00 GBP) per month or slightly cheaper if you pay for an annual plan. This makes Shopify an incredibly affordable option for selling our products online, however you will need to drive traffic in order to make sales.
We've made multiple six-figure sales with the Shopify platform, both in our own stores and others too. If you want to learn how we get these results, you can learn exactly how we do it with our Shopify Influencer Marketing Coaching Program.
In terms of transaction fees, you pay just 2% when using Shopify Payments. This makes Shopify the most cost-effective way to start an e-commerce dropshipping business.
Get started with our Shopify Launch Accelerator and make your first £1K with Shopify
You get fully launched Shopify Dropshipping store with 2500+ products, 150+ Orders, £1K+ (£1000 GBP) in sales guaranteed, and 100+ Influencers actively promoting your brand to their audiences on social media every month, and a 100% organic marketing strategy that you can scale to grow your store — with zero paid ads.
