But unless you\u2019re going to be handling every single aspect yourself, there are other factors to consider.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.repricerexpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">RepricerExpress<\/a> takes a look at whether dropshipping through FBA or on your own can benefit you most.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Dropshipping in General<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re not at all interested in creating your own inventory line, for whatever reason. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.repricerexpress.com\/dropshipping-amazon-2019\/\">Dropshipping<\/a> is one of the best alternatives out there, as it allows you to act as the middleman by not dealing with the products at all. Instead, you place an order with a supplier or manufacturer and have <em>them<\/em> ship the product to the customer. Profits aren\u2019t as high with this model, but you do get the perk of ease and simplicity.<\/p>\n<h2>Dropshipping on Amazon<\/h2>\n<p>The basic ins and outs of dropshipping don\u2019t really change when you transfer the concept to Amazon, other than you have to take into consideration the quirks of dealing with that particular marketplace. Rather than really explore what makes it so unique, let\u2019s just take a look at the pros and cons of dropshipping on Amazon.<\/p>\n<h3>Pros for Amazon<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>As mentioned before, you don\u2019t have to worry about the nitty-gritty of buying and selling. Forget about things like ordering, stocking, storing and shipping, and just focusing on passing on the order and address to the supplier.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll have a ton less overhead to pay for with no products to store.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll also save money on shipping because you won\u2019t have to do it!<\/li>\n<li>Time will become more plentiful because there\u2019s no order fulfilment to worry about \u2014 you can focus on growing your business in other areas.<\/li>\n<li>A limited product inventory is of little worry because you can \u2018present\u2019 huge selections by teaming up with multiple suppliers or manufacturers. Variety, in this sense, can really help broaden your appeal.<\/li>\n<li>Doing dropshipping on Amazon means you\u2019re privy to their search engines and marketing tools so you can piggyback on the work that other sellers have already done.<\/li>\n<li>You have immediate access to a potentially HUGE audience because of the sheer numbers that buy from Amazon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cons for Amazon<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Having to eat an automatic 10-15% sell fee on every item (Amazon\u2019s rules, not the seller\u2019s) can really hurt, especially if the profit margin for an item is already slim.<\/li>\n<li>The seller might tack on another \u2018fee\u2019 for you to use their services, making your end profit margin even slimmer.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t have much \u2014 if any \u2014 control over how an item is marketed and advertised because of what Amazon says a product has to have.<\/li>\n<li>You might have to deal with more customer support because you\u2019re now dealing with two points, the buyer and the supplier, instead of just the buyer as without dropshipping.<\/li>\n<li>Buyers won\u2019t care about what\u2019s going on at the supplier\/manufacturer\u2019s end; you\u2019re their only point of contact, so you\u2019ll have to reassure them, even if your supplier\/manufacturer is having the issues.<\/li>\n<li>You also can\u2019t really develop any sort of warm or lasting relationship with your buyers because of the restrictions imposed on you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Dropshipping on Your Own<\/h2>\n<p>So, let\u2019s say you want to dropship but not with Amazon \u2014 you can still do that on your own by creating your own store. As with Amazon, there are pros and cons to this choice, too.<\/p>\n<h3>Pros of Dropshipping on Your Own<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Total control over how an item is branded, marketed and advertised. If you think the SEO for an item would work better in a particular way (or if you want to change the SEO practices for each item or category), you can totally do that!<\/li>\n<li>Speaking about control, you also get all and final say in how the design of everything looks. Amazon is largely functional and utilitarian in how its items are presented, but you can completely switch things up on your own store. Just look at the difference between stores like Burton and Burt\u2019s Bees are because of how much aesthetics makes a difference in selling each type of item. On Amazon, though, all different types of products are presented in the same manner, which really detracts from how powerfully they can be sold.<\/li>\n<li>You can easily market to the mobile audience, which is only growing every day, week, month and year. Responsive web design is no longer an option, yet Amazon seems to think it\u2019s just a frilly perk.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, you can keep more fees and profits to yourself instead of automatically handing over 10-15% to Amazon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cons to Dropshipping on Your Own<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ll have to work <em>extremely<\/em> hard to build up audience traffic, as you won\u2019t have the benefit of tapping into the millions that use Amazon every day.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll also have to develop the creative skills necessary for implementing strong and enticing design and SEO because you won\u2019t have the benefit of simply filling out forms as you would with Amazon.<\/li>\n<li>Oh, and if you have any technical issues with the server, hosted domain or the code itself, it\u2019s all on you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Going with Fulfilment by Amazon<\/h2>\n<p>Last but not least is the option of using FBA. This is sort of the odd duck out because it doesn\u2019t necessarily have to stand alone. You can use FBA in conjunction with dropshipping on Amazon, and you can use FBA if you want to dropship on your own store. You can also choose to forgo it entirely and find some other third party to help out with the shipping.<\/p>\n<p>However, using FBA \u2014 especially if you\u2019re using dropshipping to expand on your \u2018inventory\u2019 \u2014 is a good idea because it takes most of the hassle out of dealing with order shipments and customer support should anything go wrong.<\/p>\n<h3>Pros of FBA<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Using it can be really hassle-free, especially once you\u2019re established. You can choose to be as much or not involved in the selling process as you want, as FBA takes care of a lot of the work. You can\u2019t totally ignore your products and their descriptions, but you <em>can<\/em> forget about a lot of that stuff.<\/li>\n<li>It is SO much easier selling stuff people have built up instead of branding your own line, as they&#8217;ve already done all the work in terms of description-writing, social media, marketing, sharing and advertising.<\/li>\n<li>You can easily control how much stock you have left and if you can ship it or not. Consumers hate seeing product descriptions where the item isn&#8217;t in stock, and dropshipping means you don\u2019t have total control over whether or not the supplier has Product X readily on hand. While suppliers are generally reasonable, honest people, it\u2019s a lot less stress ordering a small batch for yourself and seeing first-hand whether you can ship it or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cons to FBA<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ah, but while you can control your own inventory, you\u2019re also responsible for the costs of storing it.<\/li>\n<li>Also add on to this the cost of paying someone else to fulfill your orders.<\/li>\n<li>While we\u2019re at it, remember you also need <em>space<\/em> to store your items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Selling things online sure is no walk in the park, but if you\u2019re passionate about it, then become your own boss. There\u2019s just no comparison to being able to skip out in the middle of the day for a coffee with your mum, or do a batch of laundry while you\u2019re processing orders. Or huddling inside when the weather\u2019s miserable. But no matter which option you choose, there\u2019ll always be one aspect you\u2019ll be in charge of, pricing items.
