Hey guys,
I have been doing Amazon wholesale for past year. Now I’m switching into the drop shipping and arbitrage. But the issue is I can’t palce multiple orders on Walmart, ebay. If I do arbitrage and buy 10 to 15 units from any supplier. I have to bear the label cost.
Also minimum cost of the label is above $4.
On that costing I will not be profitable. Please guide me how to tackle with these issues and how to crack shipping on arbitrage.
Do not dropship and do not buy from Ebay and other marketplaces.
Can you guide me about arbitrage. What’s the basic steps? Like I will buy 10 to 15 units from the known supplier, retailers like sam’s club, Target, Costco. But how to tackle with the shipping cost. Is there any way that I get cheapest shipping label to get profitable?

RA, OA and drop shipping is not a good idea. Just a matter of time before you get suspended for good.
If you want to start secure drop shipping, I can share a drop shipping authentic supplier in the USA—Amazon also accepts their invoices.
How do you dropship without breaking the Amazon t&c ?
With due respect we follow the Amazon policy for drop shipping.
You need to read the policy and follow it.
For example, the supplier needs to know that you are dropshipping, you should send them your paperwork and they should include it with the order and include no paperwork that identifies them as the seller. Or no paperwork at all.
I don’t believe there are many suppliers who will do the complex work of creating invoices and packaging slips which will identify the Amazon seller rather than them.
Some sellers are using 3PL warehouses, which will repackage retail orders and forward to the customer.
To manage shipping costs and label issues in arbitrage and dropshipping, especially when ordering multiple units from retailers like Walmart or eBay, you need to shift your focus toward suppliers or sourcing methods that allow for bulk ordering and consolidated shipping. Many retail sites restrict multiple purchases or flag accounts for bulk buying, so it’s better to seek out OA-friendly suppliers or wholesalers who permit higher quantity orders and can ship all units in one box to a prep center or your location. Regarding labels, using a prep center that charges per shipment rather than per unit, or investing in your own thermal printer and shipping software like Pirate Ship or ShipStation, can significantly cut label costs. You might also consider fulfilling from Amazon FBA when possible to benefit from discounted partnered carrier rates, or negotiating with third-party suppliers for better shipping terms once you’ve built a small history. Arbitrage at scale requires streamlining sourcing, prepping, and shipping costs, so keeping margins healthy often depends on automation, VA support, and finding the right prep/logistics partners.
