My name is Kevin and I'm 24 years old. This is the true story of how during the summer of 2001, I made $40,000 selling dropshipped goods on ebay only to lose it all and end up with $4,000 of debt. Read my cautionary tale to prevent yourself from making the same mistakes that I made. I first found out about dropshipping back in June of 2001 a little after I started a not so profitable business on eBay selling cell phone accessories and such. I saw dropshipping as an all profit method of business. You don't pay for shipping. You don't pay for inventory. You basically just advertise the product on auction websites such as eBay, take orders, collect the money, and pay the set amount for each item to the dropshipper keeping the remaining amounts for yourself as profits. I now realize that it is only that easy when you're dealing with the right person. I first started dropshipping with a guy named Chris. I was selling Nike Air Jordans on eBay. I saw that Jordans are real popular on eBay and people pay huge amounts for them. I've seen some pairs go for $1,000+. Chris only charged me $67 a pair. So, I basically just doubled the price and sold them on eBay for $134 a pair. I sold about 20 pairs of shoes within a week giving me a profit of $1,340. I suddenly became happy with the success I had because obtaining over $1,000 in a week at the age of 19 is pretty rare. So, I wanted to start putting up way more auctions so that I could make way more money. Unfortunately, this is when Chris became unreliable. He never returned any of my e mails and never got back online. Plus, he only had shipped half of the 20 orders I had. So, I decided that I needed a replacement quick before I started to have some unhappy customers on my hands. This now brought me to dropshipper 2. I talked to the guy about the situation and he said that he would be able to handle it. I paid him for the remaining 10 orders I had left and he shipped the shoes off to my customers. I respected the fact that he picked up right where my previous dropshipper had left off at and took care of business. So, I assumed that this guy was all about business and was a very reliable and legitimate dropshipper. So, I started to put up more buy it now auctions and these shoes were selling faster than I could put them up for auction. This is the unbelievable part. I had sold 250 pairs of shoes in a matter of 4 days. I collected over $40,000 in 4 days. That's $10,000 a day! This came as an amazement to me especially since I was only 19 at the time. I've made some people's yearly salaries in a matter of only 4 days. Little did I know though that I was in over my head. I got a little too greedy and started to splurge on money that wasn't even mine yet; buying clothes, shoes, and even put a $1,000 down payment on a new car. My dropshipper shipped my first 30 orders only to find out that he had shipped off nothing but all wrong sizes and wrong colors. So, I had a lot of complaining customers. Some even went straight to PayPal to complain causing PayPal to limit access to my account. So, now I had over $40,000 sitting in my PayPal account that I had absolutely no access to and over 200 orders that need to be shipped off. So, my only option was to refund everyone their money back to get my PayPal account back to regular standing, which brought me to my next dilemma. I spent almost $4,000 of the $40,000 I thought would be mine to keep. So now, my Paypal balance was negative $4,000 and I needed to come up with that $4,000 quick before PayPal took legal action to get that money. I thought the only way to get me out of this mess was by the same way that got me into this mess. This is what brought me to dropshipper 3. I stumbled upon a guy named Jarell. I found him through a legitimate business website so I decided to sell enough pairs of Jordans to make up the $4,000 and then I'd call it quits because this was too much for someone so young. Everything went smooth and I was able to make the $4,000 using my girlfriend's PayPal account. Unfortunately, PayPal then limited access to her account also finding out that she was linked to me. This then aggravated me because now I had 15 orders that I in no way could pay my supplier. If I had shipped to my customers it would bring more complaints and negative feedback which was very bad for business. That was then, this is now. After reviewing my whole experience with dropshipping in hindsight, I realized all of the mistakes that I had made. For anyone who is looking into working with dropshippers, please pay close attention. 1. Before going into business with someone who is going to be dropshipping merchandise for you, be sure to get to know the person really well. Don't go by instinct. Have a few converstations with the person before you start anything. Collect all methods of contact of the dropshipper for emergency contact. 2. I suggest that you do not start off having the dropshipper ship the merchandise to your customers. Order some of the merchandise for yourself and examine it thoroughly before you go into business. I started to recieve e mails from angry customers stating that the Jordans were of terrible quality when I was told by my dropshipper that they were of authentic quality. 3. Don't bite off more than you can chew. As stated previously, I sold 250 pairs of shoes in 4 days. Within those 4 days, I had to deal with about 600 700 e mails which is almost impossible for only one person to deal with that also has school to worry about. Patience is the key to success. These were a few of the mistakes that I made dealing with dropshipping. I had a price to pay for my mistakes. I owed $4,000 to PayPal and I had a $2,000 eBay bill that I ended up working during the summer to pay off. My purpose in writing this is for everyone considering going into business with a dropshipper to take precautions and use the tips I provided. I would also like to say that even though I had a bad experience dealing with dropshipping, that is not always the case. I know there are some people who have become successful and wealthy off of dropshipping. Five years have passed since I began my journey in this industry. I finally did pay off all of my debts that summer and have made it my mission to educate and inform people of the scammers out there waiting to ambush the inexperienced and naive. I wrote this article because I don't want anyone else to go through the experience that I did. There were times where I felt hopeless and bitter for falling into a trap that left me feeling depressed. Needless to say, I have learned from my soul crushing mistakes and now make a decent living selling on ebay.

The drum brake assembly on the boat trailer consists of an inner and outer brake shoe, brake shoe return springs, brake shoe return spring clips, wheel cylinder and the brake shoe adjuster. All of these rear braking components work together to stop the rear wheels from turning. Always replace the brake shoes before the shoe material thickness reaches 1/8 inch. Remove the cotter pin from the castle nut that holds the brake drum in place with the pliers. Bend the cotter pin straight and then pull it out of the center of the castle nut with the pliers. Loosen and unscrew the castle nut with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet, extension and a 1/2 inch drive socket. Once the castle nut is out of the way, shake the brake drum back and forth with your hands to loosen the roller bearing inside of the brake drum. Pull the bearing out along with the flat washer that is behind the roller bearing. Place the parts in a safe area. Transfer all of the new braking accessories that come with the new brake shoe kit to the new brake shoes. This includes the retainer springs, retainers and the retainer clips. Position the new brake shoes with new braking accessories onto the backing plate. Position the brake adjuster and the spanner spring back onto the bottom of the backing plate. Pull out on the bottom of the brake shoes and position the bottom of the brake shoes onto the brake adjuster. Rehook the spanner spring with your hand. Slide the drums over the new brake shoes. If the drums will not fit over the new brake shoes, remove the rubber plug on the lower back side of the backing plate with a flat head screwdriver. Slide a flat head screwdriver into the access hole and locate the star brake adjuster gears. Turn the star brake adjuster gears counterclockwise with the flat head screwdriver until the brake shoes have retracted low enough to slide the drum on. Slide the brake drum over the new brake shoes and readjust the brake shoes so that the shoes are about 1/8 inch away from the inside of the drums. Reinsert the flat washer, roller bearing and the castle nut onto the spindle inside of the brake drum. Screw the castle nut on tight with your hands. Completely tighten the castle nut with the ratchet and socket. Push the cotter pin back through the center of the castle nut and bend the cotter pin with the pliers so that it does not come out of the nut and so that the nut does not back off of the spindle. Position the dust cap back onto the middle of the drum. Tap the dust cap into position with the rubber mallet. Air Jordan 10 Charlotte Bobcats,There's no truth to the rumor the second year coach burned and buried his team's old uniforms after a miserable 2009 campaign in which Klahowya went 0 10 and lost by an average margin of 48 7. "I knew it was going to be tough. New program, new coach, new everything," Prouse said. "Some of the stuff we went through last year, I was just flabbergasted." There were the lopsided defeats and the vitriol expressed by certain parents. Some players quit, leaving the Eagles with fewer than 25 players by season's end. One kid who left the program didn't even bother to tell the coach to his face. "He wrote a letter and told me what a piece of crap I was," Prouse said. Needless to say, Prouse is eager to get his team back on the field and get that first victory out of the way. "I don't care about my record," he said. "I care about the kids. I want the kids to have some success. A lot of those kids have worked their butts off during the offseason." Junior Joey Bockman said he and his teammates are motivated to put 2009 behind them. "It was tough mentally, just knowing we got stomped that hard," Bockman said. "It makes me want to come back and try a lot harder." Scoring only 73 points and being shut out four times last season, the Eagles switched to a spread option offense. Instead of trying to pound the ball against opposing defenses, Prouse thinks the spread will allow his players to use their speed and athleticism. "It fits our personnel," Prouse said. "It gets more of our kids involved. We've got a lot of guys that can run and catch." Sophomore Jacob Sheets will likely be the first option at quarterback, while senior Kevin Schiffman could also see some time. Running backs include freshman Latrell Simpson and seniors Sam Harris and Jeremy Beierle, who is working his way back from a knee injury. Harris is also slated to play slot receiver, while seniors Brad Harstad, Tim Fuller and sophomore Carlos Vallejo will see action at wideout. The offensive line is led by Bockman at center, sophomore Robbie Campos and junior Shawn Moritz at guard, and John Wolfram and Conner Legare at tackle. Many of the linemen and offensive starters in general will be seeing extensive time on the defensive side of the ball, where the Eagles play a 3 3 5.

Air Jordan 10 Charlotte Bobcats Your 8 year old nowYour child may be a motormouth who happily narrates her day for you. Eights typically love to describe their interests to their parents, whether it's the intricacies of life on Club Penguin or the latest trading card game. They tell stories about their day that are shaped with a beginning, a middle, and an end. They're also focused on rules and instructions, working out how things are "supposed to be." Quick Clicks Fun activities for promoting speaking skills Physical Development Milestones/Speech Language Skills Activities that boost physical development The Connection Between Sleep and Growth How can I help my grade schooler get over her fear of dogs? This chatty behavior reflects your child's increasingly sophisticated thinking and language skills. She can describe in detail, categorize, understand rules, negotiate, and think sequentially. Of course not all children are equally talkative. Kids with reserved personalities may speak up less to everybody, including their parents. But these same underlying thought processes are there. Your life nowChildren who eat with their families tend to do better in school, have lower rates of obesity, and make better choices later in life about habits like smoking and drug use. The family meal doesn't have to start with you calling "Dinner's ready!" Involve your child in the preparation, such as setting the table or tearing lettuce for a salad. Teach simple dishes that she can prepare on her own, even if it's simply opening a can of vegetables, putting them in a dish, and microwaving them. During the meal, a few simple ground rules can make the time together pleasant for everyone: 1) No outside distractions (TV, phone answering, texting under the table). 2) No clean your plate rules. Let your child choose what to eat (from what's served) and how much. 3) Serve everyone the same things.
