Question
Hey everyone! This is my first post and I have to say, this looks like the greatest resource any seller on Ebay could ask for, great job!
Now, on to my question, I'm brand new to this selling thing and I wanted to know what the best dropshipper is. I would prefer one with no monthly fee, I dont care about shipping fees or whatever else there is that I can take out of my sales, I just don't want to pay any money out of my own pocket. I've seen alot of talk about the Dropship Directory, but I don't want to pay for it. Any answer is greatly appreciated, thanks alot.
Answer
Welcome to here.
If anyone knows who the best dropshipper is out there, they will not be sharing it with you on a public board.
Answer
Well that's true. Do you know any starters though? Any that might be in the Drop Ship Source Directory?
Answer
Tabber,
You can find a lot of wholesale sources at wholesalecentral.com and a lot of the suppliers will drop ship.
With that said... drop shipping is not the best way to go when we are talking about auctions.. way too many times the product is out of stock or delivery times are poor.. I don't know of a single person selling via dropshippers that hasn't suffered feedback problems.. You are relying the customer service of a third party for your business. Never a good thing..

Answer
you also end up with another thing using dropshippers
that is that the product is not what is described
it doesnt stop me from dropshipping but it does cause some concerns
Answer
Hello tabber. This page has a list of drop shippers: drop shippers
I agree with Jim about the disadvantages of using a drop shipper. Another reason is the deluge of the same products being offered by wholesale sources on eBay. The competition is fierce which pushes the price down to the point where it's difficult to make a profit.

Most of my products are dropshipped and I haven't suffered feeback problems due to them ( any negs are all my fault ) However this is a product I would stock regardless and their primary business is making and selling this product. They are located 20 min drive from me so I can pick up any international orders and talk face to face with someone.
