Im thinking of doing this but would like advice on weather its reliable and worth doing?Im not 100% decided on a product yet so if anyone would like to help me decide that would be great too thanks..Many thanks x
      Answer1:This is just something for you to think about.In 10 years of selling, I have never used a drop shipper.Why? Because, I want the item that Im selling in my possession. I want to be the one to package it and ship it.I think about the what ifs. What if the drop shipper suddenly runs out of the item and youve sold several. Your buyers are expecting that item and a excuse to why you dont have it now, will not cut it with your buyers, after they have waited sometimes for days waiting for the listing to end.What if the drop shipper doesnt send the item to your buyers. Now you have a buyer that has alreadly paid for the item and they are writing or calling you asking why their stuff hasnt arrived. What are you going to say? Will you have all the tracking info to research that shipment? What if the drop shipper sends the wrong item?This is my thinking when it comes to drop shippers.Why set your self up for failure. This is your business. Its your responsibility to have the the item that you sell. Its your responsibility to properly package the item against breakage. And, its your responsibility to ensure that the item arrives to your buyer.Now, you want to hand over all this this responsibliltiy to someone that you dont know. Heres something else to think about.If the item arrives broken or doesnt arrive at all, you will get a negative feedback, thus affecting your business and your 30 day DSR ratings.Your buyer will file a dispute with ebay and PayPal to get their money back. And, they will win.So, why would you want to put yourself through this?Wouldnt you want to ensure that you take your own pictures, package properly, have the tracking info in your files?Good luck in your decision.
      Answer2:The other person who answered it was great, but one more thing I thought I would add. Everyone is looking to make money selling on Ebay/Amazon. So 80% are looking for dropshippers. This means everyone will be selling the same thing which will drop your profit to 2-5% if that. Just remember that when you join these big dropshippers. Like the above person said just find a niche and stick to it.
