Dropships for Ebay??

Hello,

I wondered if dropship websites actually make you a profit on Ebay? ie. they provide the goods and ship them and you pay a membership fee and a little for the goods and you make a profit. It seems too good to be true so any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks!!

    highly doubtful , I would have thought, if it was so easy and profitable, we would all be doing it! any company that asks for a large "membership" fee, is usually up to no good. reputable suppliers will usually directly send out expensive items on your behalf , one of mine does at any rate, they charge me a direct dispatch fee, which I then charge the customer for courier delivery.

  • I would stay away from any dropshipper that asks you to pay a membership fee.

    Think carefully before starting to dropship. What would you do if your dropshipper suddenly went out of business and you had buyers waiting for items...
