Anyone ever try drop shipping?
 

I was gonna try this a long time ago but forgot about it. Seems legit in theory just sign up with a supplier and list products on ebay, then when you sell you give the order and address to the supplier and you get a commission. I was just curios if any of you guys have done this, or is it a waste of time?

depends on your suppliers

avoid Chinese one - most of them are not good partners.

Ok what are some good ones?

I thought about it, but then I looked @ the prices other folks were selling the same items for versus the prices that I would be able to sell at. I couldn't compete. Even if I charged what I was paying and made zero profit (and what the hell is the point in that?) I still wasn't able to beat the prices I was seeing.

drop ship is sweet no inventory and you dont have to keep track of shipping at all just collect the cash, they send out the invoice and product, no warehouse needed.

I did this in 2003 with those chinese electric scooters.
Haven't done it since...

Pretty neat concept. I should give it a try...

I used to do it but if you don't have reliable suppliers you'll run into reversed orders or delays

Did a lot of research into finding a dropshipper that doesn't already have 50+ other sellers selling their items on eBay. It's worth a go if you find a more exclusive one. Last one I tried delayed so many orders I stopped using, ruined my feedback record.

I want to start a drop shipping store I have a great domain name for selling kids toys, but its impossible to find a reputable shipper with prices that will let you compete. I have read to stay away from ones based in China so I haven't attempted that route.
