How can I find droppshippers?

[top-gun125]

Hi there every one,
I was wondering if you all could please give me advise on how to find Brand Name wholesalers and/or Drop Shippers. I know you don't want to give away your sources but how can I find these wholesalers? Google results are junk most likely because of my common search key words. Please help me out!

Many thanks,
Jeff

Personally, I do very little dropshipping, perhaps 1 or 2 % to the U.S. and ONLY from one of my most trusted sources.
In my experience, you have to be very careful when considering using a dropshipper. They can destroy your DSRs quickly, as your customers will not get the "personal touch" that most ebayers desire, and you have no idea what they are doing on their end.
The ability to personally inspect and package each item is very important. I would be very reluctant to place my reputation in the hands of a dropshipper unless you know them extremely well.
Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
AXE

The only help I can give you is a clear message to stay out of dropshippers. Forget the idea.

I am not aware of Canadian sellers making money using dropshippers. It is a losing proposition as the field is already over-populated by tens of thousnads of American sellers working for pennies.

You want to make money in the mail order business (that's what eBay is all about)? Stick to:

Sell what you know... know what you sell.

I've heard that some sellers can make money with drop shippers - never met one that lasted very long, though.

Drop shipping is DEATH on ebay. -------------------------------------------------------------------

Your best dropshipper is ... eBay.

Ok, I'll give you the bone:

Here is a company that has insane prices and allows drop-ship (i.e. parcel will come without identification of the sender):

I have found several powersellers on eBay who simply picked 100-200 products and list them and perhaps have few thousand in sales a month.

I thought about this few weeks/months ago and decided not to do it. Instead I hired part-time purchaser in China who signed up at SendFromChina.com

Ok, I already gave you 3 great websites in this thread. Now go and make some money. If you cannot make money using these 3 websites, then find a job.

OOOOOHH!

Electronics - you'll only have 10,000 competitors there.:^O

And China, too! All the toxic waste you can eat and the bad rep to go with it.

If the deals are that good, BUY SOME INVENTORY, then sell it.

There is no "lazy" way to success - it's work. If you're not willing to do the work, then you're not in the right business. -------------------------------------------------------------------
