At Marketplace Launch, we offer three proven methods for selling on each marketplace:

1. 2-Step Dropshipping (2SD)
With 2-step dropshipping, we list products on your storefront before they’re physically in stock. When a customer places an order, we immediately purchase the item from a vetted supplier and have it shipped to our warehouse. From there, we repackage it and ship it to the end customer.

2SD is fast-paced and fully compliant with marketplace policies. Most stores see sales within just 3 days of launching.

Best for: Sellers who want to get started quickly with minimal upfront capital. While margins are lower, the high sales volume makes it a strong cash flow model.

2. Wholesale
Wholesale is the classic inventory-based model. Our research team finds winning products from trusted supplier catalogs, buys them in bulk, and then either ships them directly to customers or sends them to marketplace fulfillment centers.

Best for: Sellers with more capital and patience. Wholesale offers strong profit margins and stable, scalable results over time.

3. Hybrid Model (Recommended)
The Hybrid model combines the best of both worlds. We start your store with 2SD to generate immediate sales while waiting for your wholesale inventory to arrive (which typically takes 2–4 weeks). Once the wholesale products are in stock, they are added to your store to boost margins and profitability.

Best for: Sellers looking for both short-term momentum and long-term growth. Hybrid stores benefit from both volume and margin—a winning combination.
