LOL D-o-o-o-o-d. If you can't say it, it's not that great a term. But I'm with you. Optimize! Get ideas from sniping, but sniping is not sustainable. And why be shy about how squeamish you felt? It's your enlightened self-interest talking. Worst aspect of sniping is that it makes you *weak,* unable to think or solve problems creatively, unable to anticipate trends. You're always a step behind. *Thank you* for providing so much high quality, original , *non-sniped* content. Keep it real.

[@RBNK157]

Paul your course is amazing! and btw i really like it that you actually answer my questions there :) thanks bro

[@HomeBusinessExpert]

Hi guys! I tried clicking on several of your links and they are marked as private. Is there a new link?

[@kimallen4713]

I always do snoptimisation since I started on eBay and thanks to it I can find hot selling item optimize the whole listing putting my own price ( never undercut price) and sell the item like hot cake, the funny thing, as you have mentioned, alot of sellers jump on my listings and snipe them but yet i am still the one who sells more lol that's the power of using the pros only of each method (sniping item + optimizing the listing)

[@jeannettedickson3646]

Can you do more videos on optimizing titles? Thanks for all of your videos!

[@murielperez3582]

I like the idea of title optimization. It’s hard for us to snipe . It’s difficult to beat the competitors price. Maybe we are doing something wrong. I am not sure. Great video though, can’t wait for us to make our very first sale!

[@pinkpirulita]

As always great content!

[@hashembeitvashahi405]

Thanks. Based on my experiences under cut doesn't work with ebay's algorithm. What I do is just list the item optimize it and pick the profit margin that I want and I feel comfortable with.

[@PaulJLipsky]

That's what I recommend too!

[@davidpomeroy7742]

I'm using dsg. But I think I want to do both. I love dropshipping! Ill continue watching yalls video

[@Ctayrroolne]

If you have a moment...Can you answer this question for me? If I price one dollar above the price? What do I do about the shipping cost? If cookies are 2.99 and I charge 3.99? What happens concerning the free shipping?

[@BrokeToBossGirl]

More videos with Chad and Puppy please! :D

[@PaulJLipsky]

They both hustle too much. Hard to find a time they're not busy :-P

[@EgoShredder]

No I want to see puppy go solo and start its own drop-shipping channel, called Paw To Rich Pup!

[@clevername8832]

yeah me too, i watch videos for the people and their pets, not because their content is relevant to me

[@alananthony1960]

Thanks Guys! and Pup!

[@CrowningSuccess]

So do you basically price your items at a set markup percentage across the board so you really don't worry what another seller has that same item priced at?

[@PaulJLipsky]

finallymakinit yep

[@travisross8704]

Question... With the title optimization strategy you’re listing many non-selling items, so how are you able to avoid loosing money due lots of EBay re-listing fees? I’m assuming you’re items ate GTC. Thank you!

[@PaulJLipsky]

Great question. We purge items every few weeks that are underperforming

[@TeoNio]

Do you change the name of your store regularly to avoid being sniped?

[@PaulJLipsky]

It doesn't make a difference. Changing the name, people will still find it

[@TeoNio]

Ok thank you for your response! Love your channel

[@gianlucam.7361]

Thanks guys. Can I use the cash back selling in US but from Europe? I mean without having a us credit card.

[@marielquiros]

Nice, how you control people that are snipping your products?

[@halafgh2768]

what s the best way to optimaze the items title and which tool you use to get the treanding keywords on ebay ?

[@raffaeleseo]

Hi, do you think that it is also important to optimize the text in the description? With meta as H1 / H2 etc.. ?

[@PaulJLipsky]

I don’t think it hurts

[@raffaeleseo]

@@PaulJLipsky it doesn't improve the listing on google?

[@katentu]

I'm doing snoptimization naturely , but I like title optimization too

[@christinablevins2078]

How do you know if you were snipped?

[@PaulJLipsky]

If your sales drop for an item, you can search that item's title and see if someone else is using it.

[@theeyeofgod8316]

No matter what item is posted there is so much competition especially from Asia.

[@PaulJLipsky]

There are still a lot of great products out there!

[@lennynjacob3654]

If you find an item that is selling well, how do you find the source? I've tried it for a few items and I've been unable to track a source.

[@PaulJLipsky]

Check out my free course. I explain it in there: www.dropshippingtitans.com/p/free

[@TinyMeatPete]

Hi guys, first let me just say great video I learned a lot. I've just opened up my eBay store today and I have used DSM tool and a few tips that i got from Paul and I have 50 "winning products" on there. Now I have a few questions, 1 how long until i start seeing buyers and is there any thing that I can do to get people to my store. Secondly, I am dropshipping only in the UK, which I am not sure if it's a great idea or not, so this question can go to anyone with experience, should I change to eBay.com and Dropship in the US or should I continue dropshipping in the UK? Thanks for reading, Pete :)

[@marzoval9551]

How much of your January profit would you attribute to straight up sniping (not snoptimization)?

[@PaulJLipsky]

Very little. I did it for a short period then stopped.

[@marzoval9551]

I see. That makes me feel better lol. As you said, it's not the ethics of it, but the sustainability/scalability.

[@Riffs4U]

Hi guys, great video. I certainly think that you should be doing more videos together :) I have a question, I know you have a course just came out and probably you explain there in detail but could you just give me a tip or two about what to look for when you try to find an item on Amazon to sell on ebay? In sniping method you start from ebay first, finding the item that sells over and over again. But with your strategy are you starting from Amazon first, find the item that "would" sell then list on ebay? I'm heaving hard time to find the items that would sell and be profitable. Thank you in advance.

[@txsilentknight]

How do you know when you've been sniped and how do you know who sniped you?

[@PaulJLipsky]

If one of your popular items does well, you can search for the title of it to see if you have been sniped

[@txsilentknight]

Paul J Lipsky thanks paul

[@camscott68]

what about sniping a listing but placing the same price & optimise a little this is waht we are shown with one mentor in australia

[@camscott68]

& you just mentioned that a bit further down the vid !! doh

[@PaulJLipsky]

hahaha np!

[@SC-kf3jz]

Will you carry on using ds genie?

[@PaulJLipsky]

For our new sniping store, yep! And we'll definitely use it against anyone who snipes us

[@txsilentknight]

Paul J Lipsky so I'm guessing DS genie is for sniping and DS tool is for optimization?

[@ArganCharm]

Do you trust Va to order from Homedepot ??

[@PaulJLipsky]

Yes absolutely. I spend a lot of time training them

[@axlegallardo]

I have asked this question before. Got a lot of different answers. But, aside from Jack Pitman, I feel that I can trust you guys. So guys... Is it possible for a Non US Citizen seller who doesn't live in North America to profit $1,000 per month from eBay Arbitraging? And, I wish that you do a video on the subject and explain in detail how I, a non US citizen eBay Arbitrager, can profit $1,000. Details like how many listings, margins per listings, price of listings, software to use and not use, etc. $1,000 that's all we non US "Third Worlders" need man. That's all we need to survive a family of 5 for a month. Thank you and more power to you guys ☺️ Ps. And please post that video on our group. It will really help us out a lot. facebook.com/groups/TipsForNonAmericanDropshippers/

[@PaulJLipsky]

Great great question but I'm not the person to ask. You need to check out Becky's channel: kzbin.info/door/i7u9MaAAS_ArjRcULAYTQA She is a non-US citizen dropshipping on eBay US. She makes great content

[@reycaribe]

More dog I say.

[@kendradahlstromerickson7793]

Is this your husband? I’m not watching these in order so maybe you introduced him earlier. I’d like to get my spouse working with me too.

[@PaulJLipsky]

Yep that's him :-)

[@johnwolf1475]

So what is biz life like? Are you married to the computer 24/7/365? What seemed simple...hmmm???

[@PaulJLipsky]

Huh?
