    just got to start using your bargain hunting skillz.

    buy things that're in bulk, poorly described, generally going cheap then sell them on (probably using a different account).

    I second that.

    Plus research what sells well and hit the charity shops and carboots. My mum sells things that range from £10 up to £70 or so, and she rarely spends more than £5 for each item, usually only a couple of quid.

    Why is dropshipping not recommended?

    Because with dropshipping you don't actually see or handle the goods.

    now that would be telling.......... I will pm it to you a bit later but don't go around telling everyone otherwise there would be no point!!
