Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew how you find out if a dropshipper is real or not and all their business info? Especially when they are based in Hong Kong?

hiya,

im thinking about starting a online fashion business on ebay, but dont have a clue where to start.

How are you doing for Tesco Clubcard vouchers?

I'm also thinking of setting up on my own, and discovered yesterday that the National Extension College (NEC) take vouchers at three times their value towards the cost of a course on... starting up a small business!

The eternal question. If they have multiple years and are gold partners on alibaba, and maybe if the samples etc come right via aliexpress, you stand a chance - but there are hundreds of crooks out there claiming to be 'dropshippers'.

As a tip, if they seem much cheaper than any others, they're probably dud. Things still have a cost to manufacture!

Be aware, dropship is part of the solution - you still have to deal with international shipping lead times, customs charges, VAT etc as well as managing returns
