The ad I got during this video was literally some moron trying to teach me how to get rich by drop shipping
Even the hands of the thin dude are lying‼️😀🤌
At least with eBay it’s a bit more honest because it doesn’t pretend like everything is lovingly handmade – nothing is!!! Anything drop shipped is obvious so it’s easy to tell
Brands, Shops wanted to produce and buy everything from china and get money for selling it for more expensive prices( sometimes×10), now people are taught to buy directly from China and save money and here we are…. people are claimed to be over consumers…think about your own working conditions as if so
LOL
as an etsy seller, I cant stand how the site is being taken over by dropshippers.
This is either a product liability lawyer’s wonderland or nightmare.
I couldn’t agree more!! But you know what else has gotten so bad in the past 2-3 years is completely different images used to sell the product, sellers show a 3d item, a Christmas ornament, for example, and what you actually get is a cheap acrylic item with an image printed on it. Also happened with a sweater I ordered for Thanksgiving. What I ordered was 3d, it had an embroidered turkey with "feathers" hanging off of the shirt. What I received was a piece of crap, horribly printed not even on a sweater but like t-shirt material 😡. This was probably something stolen from a real hand-crafted item, reproduced (poorly) and drop-shipped!
I want to know more about what this girlboss at @30:43 is talking about, I want to be a financially free digital nomad 🙁

I used to work in Amazon customer service. The amount of customer victimized by dropshipping is insane, we get calls everyday about customers buying knockoffs from third party sellers.
Me watching this at my amazon shift
A+ Fairly Oddparents reference!
as i understand it its not allowed to dropship from alibaba directly to amazon. you have to have a brand first and an inventory bought from alibaba for ex. (that you can send to FBA) and thats the way of "dropshipping". is this correct?
love your guitar, is that a Stratocaster?
I don’ t really buy anymore. even in stores, because i see them online and because everything is from china.
40:10 defends slavery a second time!
Dropshipping has been around even before computers and cell phones. so dropshipping did not hurt anything.
Not kidding why are there 5 ads in the first 6 minutes 😭
Even if you make zero sales in a month, Etsy charges you as a seller. Nope! Bye!
Sellers like this piss me tf off. I create goods to sell and I actually put my heart and soul into every product I sell. Then I get people who are like, “why would I buy this for $115 when I can buy the ‘same’ thing for $43.24 on Etsy?”
It makes everything worse for everybody except the end seller.

Whine Whine cry boo hoo… videos like this make me laugh so much because they’re the equivalent to Taylor Swift and her music.
Taylor Swift sing songs about how her relationships are constantly shity and how she can never make decent decisions in her life and videos like this show how people don’t know how to shop don’t know how to look for a sale don’t know how to realize when they’re getting scammed and then have to come online and complain about it. 😂
not me getting shopify ads on this video lmaoo
Very high note to end the video, subscribed
Going out of my way lately to just shop local, small business. What do you know, the quality of everything I own has improved!
This is honestly probably your most informative video and will help countless young people understand global economics. Thank you for making this video and educating people.
I totally love your big blue sweater so much I can’t concentrate on what your saying .😂
I live in New Zealand and shipments from team only take a week.
It must be American customs and Postal Service that takes so long
Who’s gonna explain this girl that all she’s owning (mics, her pikachu, her guitar, …) came from the China manufacturs, the same Aliexpress is using. Almost every company in this world do "drop shipping", their supplier come from China. China produce EVERYTHING.
I have a friend who’s trying to make a living from her creative endeavours, and that involves selling handmade stuff on Etsy. She’s been despairing about all those dropshipper listings pretty much since she started over there, feeling pretty help- and hopeless against those mass-produced scams clogging up the search results.
Thank you for making this video! Thank you for putting a spotlight on this sad issue. As a small seller of handcrafted items I salute you 🫡! (If anyone is interested in handmade personalized wedding ring boxes, just let me know) 🙂
Not me getting a ‘sell on Amazon’ ad in the Amazon segment
Don’t forget about the automatic litter boxes that killed several cats, drop shipping and the rabbit holes of their products is one hell of a journey, more emphases on hell and less on journey.
19:47 and the way this is said is so funny to me
29:33 besides the problem with the videos this is actually another reason why they SUCK
Okay, but i need to know where you got that blue sweater from.
Uygher slave labour is a capitalist myth
27:34 defend slavery much?
Ngl i didnt know what dropshipping was lolololl
I wanted to get something incredibly specific and handmade for my husband for Christmas and I tried looking on Etsy and holy heck!!! It was a nightmare!!! There were FIVE different shops all selling the exact same thing with the exact same branding and pictures at wildly different prices! It was literally the ONLY item that matched what I needed and yet I couldn’t tell who was the “real” seller or if the real seller even existed so I ended up not even being able to get it! It took me MONTHS to find something else even remotely similar from an actual reputable company and it still wasn’t exactly what I needed so tbh I’m still way salty at that.
I’ve never heard of dropshipping…I just thought that was Amazon. Lol this entire video is how online shopping works, or shopping in general
Temu’s objective is to gain access to your phone content
It didn’t change anything, people were being tricked into purchasing worthless crap long before dropshipping was invented. No one does the fucking homework, maybe they did in the 60s where you could only buy one thing so it had to be good. Now? No one knows what actually goes into the products you’re advertised and it shows.
cry me a river i sold lots on ai stuff this month ching ching
