I have no idea who Espino is, but as an ebay seller, I can tell you that there is an art to it, as opposed to “selling a few items”.

One of the first rules is never to drop ship. You are putting your reputation in the hands of somebody else, and on ebay, all you have is a reputation.

I have taken the ebay seminar, and can tell you that it is the best $50 investment somebody can make, if they even have an interest in ebay selling. It would amaze you to see how many people make money on ebay. The one day seminar in Salt Lake City, on a Saturday, brought in, I would guess, 1500 people. It amazed me how people were making money, and some big bucks. I talked to business owners who employ 5-10 people, and ONLY sell on ebay.

I'm not saying you can't make money on eBay. I am just saying that Espino is almost universally condemned on the Web for offering "services" you can find for yourself for free.

As for drop shipping, it worked out great for me. It was in 1999 when I found an electronics distributor who drop-shipped for me. Most of what I sold were refurb Sony Mavica digital cameras. He charged me $280 for each camera which I didn't pay until they were sold. Most of the cameras sold between $350 and $450 and he charged me only $5 UPS shipping. I never had a problem with his services except that when his digital camera supply dried up, the only stuff he had left was mostly obsolete electronics.
