Yes, I happen to have plenty of experience with dropshippers.  For anyone who doesn't know here is how dropshipping works.  Let's say I have an online store but I don't want to carry inventory.  I hook up with a dropshipper who allows me to list their product line on my page.  When a customer orders from my store I place an identical order on my dropshippers website but I put the customers shipping information and my billing information.  When the customer gets the product it appears as if it came from my page/company, but in reality it came from my dropshipper.  Now to continue to answer your question.\nLast year I decided to try an online store business using dropshippers.  What I did to find dropshippers was to pay for a list of dropshippers.  I would look through the dropshippers sites and evaluate them.  My favorite ones I would try out by ordering one product.  One good one that I found was valorcorp.com.  They carry the stuff a normal knife shop has.  Now let me warn you of one problem with dropshippers.  There are people out there selling individuals their own dropshipping website that they can set up.  When they get orders they place them with another larger company.  This causes a problem because you have a bunch of sites with the same exact product lines which causes a whole bunch of online stores to have the same product lines, which only adds to your competition.  So I would recommend that you differentiate yourself with other sites with a unique product line.  Hope that helps, if you have more questions email me at jbradley4000@yahoo.com

Will you be selling online or will you be selling from a shop? \nDo you need a list of wholesale suppliers or will you be selling your own stuff? You need to be a bit more specific. Good luck.

Oh that's a toughie. The nicest way to put it, drop shippers REALLY aren't the way to go on eBay. First off, more likely then not, other people have found the same drop shippers, and eBay will be flooded with that merchandise. \n\nSecondly, a lot of the companies are not reliable at all. So if you go with one, be prepared for your customers to be writing/calling you and asking why their item has not been shipped to them.\n\nThirdly, the above mentioned will kill your feedback rating, and if you ever need help in one of the forums, the regular sellers will tell you to scratch.\n\nTake a look for yourself, and see why it's not the best of ideas:\n\neBay> Community> Discussion Boards> Seller Central\n\nJust do a search for past discussions on dropshippers and you will see what I mean.

Get on eBay and sell info-products; start your own dropshipping business by selling what you want or trade currencies online. You'll be amazed at the results.

You talking about dropshipping, just look it up on the internet and you will get a bunch of sites. However watch out for sites that say you dont need a business license if it says that then what is happening is your buying from a middleman and therefore cutting into your profits.

Personally, I like pricegrabber.com because it has a wide variety of items, it lays it out nicely and lets you sort however you wish, and gives estimated costs with shipping when comparing.

You will not find a list without work, if you just buy a list it will be through a middleman and theyw ill be taking a cut. You cannot simply set up a business to earn you money without doing work. Finding great suppliers that dropship will tkae work.\n\nI joined a dropship directory that I was happy with. It was well worth the cost of something like $70 and its called the dropship source directory. I did all the research I wanted and decided not to do the website, but am a member for life. So I looked up a couple of computer parts dropshippers for you to check out.\n\nThey point you at the companies and you have to call up or email and work out getting an account set up. That is how a real business works. Do not buy into these sites that promise the easy setup, they are a scam.\n\nhttp://www.lindy.com\nhttp://www.kobian.com\n\nThis way you will be working directly with reputable drop shipping companies. If you like it here is the link to buy the service for yourself.\n\nhttp://www.worldwidebrands.com/wwb/main_dropship.asp\n\nI only tried the product I am not related to them, your question just reminded me of when I thought I would try that and I decided to give you a little help. \n\nGood Luck

I just did, not a pro store but an ebay store and its great.  The listing fees are by far less expensive though your items are not auctions people see them whenever they search on important key words.  I like the ebay store...very affordable...good service.

I worked in wholesale distribution for a few years.  One reason i left is that scruples seemed hard to come by.  Seemingly very cut-throat.  I might be better able to help if i had an idea as to what products you seek.....

Without purchasing the very expensive (but worth it) wholesalers lists (catalog), its tough. There are many online but they charge a fee and sometimes that fee is not worth it. Sometimes the companies aren't even selling the items wholesale, but just a bit beneath the retail, again not worth it. \n\nI use a company called TV shopping surplus and while it may not be the best out there, I've been successful in selling some items with them, plus they dropship. That's the key, as well, you want a company that will dropship for free or at a very nominal fee. Check them out..\n\nhttp://www.tvshoppingsurprlus.com
