Dropshippers...who, what, when, where , how!

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone is familiar with any good dropshippers? I always see them on ebay for sale but it looks like a scam...any info would be good!

    The general consensus seems to be - AVOID.

    The prices generally arent cheap enough, you sell the item only to find out its 'out of stock' at the drop shippers, they dont post it out in time, its faulty, you start to get neg feedback....

    It sounds like an easy way to make money - it generally isnt.

    If you come and have a lurk on the ebay threads you will see that many posters report that the drop shipper prices are often the same, or higher than on ebay. Add to that delivery problems and the right of a buyer to return something, at your cost for a refund and it is probably better sourcing your stock independently rather than relying on a drop shipper.
