How to Dropship effectively

With a drop ship business, your success depends on selling products which are then shipped directly from a manufacturer or wholesaler to your customer. Your profit depends on the difference between the wholesale price and the retail price (what you sell it for). You can run your business in a variety of ways (physical store, catalog, website) but this article will focus on doing it through eBay.

1. Create a seller account on eBay. Part of your investment in this business will be in listing fees on eBay.
2. Research drop ship companies, also known as suppliers. Choosing suppliers that are in the same country as your intended customers will likely make shipping easier. Use a directory or other drop ship source such as WorldWide Brands, Doba or SimpleSource – they do the work of finding legitimate suppliers for you.Watch out for scammers who pose as suppliers but are really just middlemen themselves. They’ll take their own cut of the profits, thus reducing yours. If they require a regular fee for using their service, consider that a very bright red flag!

A Few Things To Consider

Much like in the offline world, you must have a solid business idea before you can open up a business online. Anyone can open a business online, but it takes some skill and a good idea of what to sell in order to make money online. If you were to open a store at your local mall, you would not go through all of the trouble of setting the store up and paying all of the fees associated with the store unless you had a business plan and knew exactly what you were going to sell. The same can be said for opening up an online business, as it is vital that you know where you are headed, as this will give you a better chance of getting there.
