Can I make money on ebay reselling products from wholesalers / dropshipping?
Does it work well these days, do only most of the powersellers succeed at this?

Also, is there another way to make money online?

Thanks

You can do this, even if you start out small. It’ll take some time to attract all the customers you want, but if you work at it, sell good products, and make sure your Buyers are satisfied, you could one day reach Powerseller status yourself. Quite a bit of the Powersellers started out small.

Does anyone know how much I would make getting into dropshipping?

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Im not to familiar with dropshipping at all but I want to start a lingerie business online but dont have alot of funds.

First you need a supplier that is willing to drop ship. If you intend to have repeat customers, loyal clients the first thing to think of is that your giving away your client list directly to the wholesaler who can definately undershoot your price points. In addition, drop shipping is more costly in most instances. If you don’t have a large budget to work with, then your gonna have to determine if your margins are worth it or not. Like the other poster said, your first problem is that you have no money. Secondly, I assure you that your not the first person to attempt this, nor will you be the only supplier on the market in your area. It will be stiff competition, one in which you probably won’t have much of an edge over the competition. You need to reassure yourself that your prepared for this journey & that you have the ability to handle your finances accordingly & especially try to come up with a business plan that offers something that your competitors simply don’t have.

Do you know of any reputable dropshipping companies?

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Hello, I would like to get involved with dropshipping. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

DON’T dropship.

When the dropshipper runs out of stock, you don’t find out until your customer doesn’t get their stuff. Then you have a mad customer, a dropshipper who’d got your money and will send you the product "whenever" and you’re stuck.

If you’re selling on ebay, you’ll be out of business within months because of the negs you accumulate.

What do you think abourt wholesale dropshipping?

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

I am going to open an online business utilizing affiliate marketing. I want people’s opinions about wholesale dropshipping. Is it profitable? Do you really need to pay a monthly fee? How do you really make money if you have to pay fees? Is it worth it?

Mate you haven’t done enough research into this obviously, as you are asking questions which show that. I have been in the industry before and can tell you’re not ready to begin.

1) Yes it’s profitable if done right, but no one is going to teach you that on Yahoo Answers, you need to go research. Be prepared to lose money and make mistakes at the start.
2) No you dont need to pay a monthly fee. Go research. There are many places which will charge, and many free. Go straight to manufacturers or wholesalers if you must.
3) You make money by pricing your products right. Target specific niches if you can. Drive traffic to the sites. And convert! Thats the formula.
4) Not worth it unless you have a passion and really want to do it. Otherwise you’d be like the 98% of other people who get on, fail, and quit, and make it profitable for people like me who get in and dont stop til I succeed.

After any opinions or information on dropshipping in Australia?

Sunday, July 10th, 2011

Hi, I’m after any information on dropshipping in Australia? I’m looking at getting into this but want to know a little mopre information. Also after information if buying from wholesalers would be a better way to go? If anyone knows any good legit dropshippers and wholesalers in Australia I would appreciate your information. Thanks.

Drop shipping is not always a good idea. You are putting your business in someone else’s hands and relying on them to ship a product in a timely, professional manner on your behalf.

What is dropshipping and how does it work?

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

What are some good dropshipping websites ?

Dropshipping is when you order a product and your supplier ships it directly to your customer using your label. That way, it appears the product came from your warehouse. That way, your customer gets their product and you make a couple bucks on the markup without touching the product.

Many companies will offer dropshipping for a small fee or even free.

Hi, Can anyone tell me what they think of salehoo or any other dropshipping company that lets you start asap?

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

Or does anyone know how to get selling on ebay via dropshipping for a small start up fee.

I’m a member of Salehoo, and I found it to be really good – especially when I was just starting. All their suppliers are checked for reliability, which I liked after having been tricked by another company!!

Had lots of really good suppliers, but I had to research a lot to find something to sell profitably on eBay – the customer service people helped me out, which I though was really good.

There are some others too, like WorldWide Brands, which is great but about $500. If you want to spend less than $80, then I think Salehoo is the best you’re going to get by far. Check out some reviews/comparisons here: http://www.rich-reviews.com/

Hope that helps,

Good Luck!

What are the Pros and cons of Dropshipping?

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

I want to start a lingerie business and I was reading about dropshipping but the more I read the more confused I seem to be. I know I have alot to learn about starting a business online so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Pros are that you don’t buy it ahead of time, when you get an order from your customer is when you place an order with your supplier. So inventory doesn’t tie up any of your money, you’re not left with purchases nobody seems to want.

Con is that the customer has to wait for it. If they are in a hurry, could lose the customer to a competitor.
