# eBay Importer 101: a dropshipping guide

This guide explains how to run a dropshipping store with Oneclick eBay Importer — from importing your first product to fulfilling an order.

{% hint style="warning" icon="circle-info" %}
**Product Authorization Notice:** Make sure you have the rights to import and sell each product. Importing or reselling copyrighted or trademarked products without permission is prohibited
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The app runs in **manual mode**. You fulfill each order yourself by buying the item on eBay and shipping it to your customer. Auto-fulfillment is not available.
{% endhint %}

## How dropshipping works here

1. You **import** a product from eBay into your store.
2. You add a **markup** so you sell above the eBay price.
3. A customer buys it on **your store** and pays your price.
4. You **buy the item on eBay** and ship it to your customer's address.
5. The difference between your price and the eBay price is your profit.

## Step 1 — Import products

Import products one at a time from a URL, from a seller's storefront, in bulk from a list, or with the browser extension.

* [Import products individually](/wilcode-apps/ebay-importer-app/how-to/import-products-individually.md)
* [Import products by seller](/wilcode-apps/ebay-importer-app/how-to/import-products-by-seller.md)
* [Bulk import from CSV or a URL list](/wilcode-apps/ebay-importer-app/how-to/bulk-import-from-csv-or-url-list.md)
* [Import with the browser extension](/wilcode-apps/ebay-importer-app/how-to/import-with-browser-extension.md) — unlimited imports on the Pro and Elite plans, no quota used.

## Step 2 — Set your prices

Decide how much profit to add on top of the eBay price using a multiplier or a fixed amount. You can set a store-wide rule, per-collection rules, or override a single product.

## Step 3 — Keep prices and stock current

Turn on auto-sync so your store follows eBay's prices and availability automatically — up to 200 products per day (no limit on variants per product).

→ [Turn on price and stock auto-sync](/wilcode-apps/ebay-importer-app/how-to/turn-on-price-and-stock-auto-sync.md)

## Step 4 — Fulfill an order

When you receive an order:

1. Open the same product on eBay.
2. Buy it and enter **your customer's** shipping address (not your own).
3. When eBay provides tracking, mark the order **fulfilled** in Shopify and add the tracking number.

{% hint style="info" %}
With **Sync stock** enabled, products that go out of stock on eBay are automatically marked as unavailable in your store, so customers can't order something you can't buy.
{% endhint %}
