Why we love so much Ali-Express,

  1. AlіExрrеѕѕ is run bу оnе оf thе largest internet retailers іn thе world, the Alibaba Group, AliExpress serves as an aggregator. Sellers register their products on the website, similar to the Amazon market-place.

  2. More than 100 Million products available for dropshipping.

  3. In most cases, the prices on AliExpress are considerably lower than you may find on Amazon.

  4. Ali-Express does not limit or make sanctions according to their T&C to perform drop shipping (as of today).

  5. You will also be able to enjoy a discount to your purchase going through different cashback sites such as "simply best coupons" (https://www.simplybestcoupons.com/Coupons/aliexpress.com/#) or giving assistant (https://givingassistant.org/coupon-codes/aliexpress.com)

Listing Ali-Express products

There are two options to list Ali-Express products:

1. Using Listing Wizard

2. Using Import and then listing items through the Listing Generator.

In general, you can either find hot selling items yourself doing your own research or using analytic tools such as Zik Analytics (https://www.zikanalytics.com/).

 Main difference between using the Listing Wizard compares to the Import feature is that on Listing Wizard, we are pulling the title directly from Ali-Express to the title listing on ebay, and on Import you can edit the titles prior listing.

Listing Wizard will allow you quickly to list those Ali-Express items quickly, all you need to do is to choose the supplier Ali Express China or Ali Express USA and pour the Ali Express ID's to the clipboard
