Guide To Using Dropshippers

You've been thinking about selling on eBay for quite some time now. It sounds like an easy way to pick up some spare cash or even make a living. The only problem is..... where do you get the stuff to sell??

Way back when eBay started, it was just people selling their leftover stuff. Now you can buy anything here. From used tennis shoes to homes even Paris Hiltons used Coke Can!! eBay has grown into a monster of an online entity.

An excellent source of products is the dropship supplier. This is any wholesale supplier which will sell you a product and ship it directly to your customer with address labels showing your address and not theirs. This makes them invisible to the customer and gives you access to literally 1000s of products. These are products you don't need to purchase, stock or ship. You simply sell them via any way you like (ebay for instance). Once you sell it, you place your order and the wholesaler ships your product to the customer. You collect the sales price and give the wholesaler his price. The difference is your profit.

All this sounds pretty simple doesn't it? Yes and no. If you start looking for dropshippers online, you will ultimately find 100s of scammers. Trust me. I bought alot of garbage when I used to sell on eBay. There are alot of places claiming to be dropshippers that are just crap!  There are only a handfull of true dropship sources out there. While there are 100s of dropshippers you can use, they aren't too easy to find.

A few weeks ago, I started blogging about dropshipping. Even though I don't sell much on eBay anymore, (just don't have the time) I figured I would start a blog showing folks my experience on dropshipping. When I did sell, I was doing about $5000 per month. All my merchandise was dropshipped. My dropshippers were only the ones I mention in my blog.

So if you are looking for stuff to sell, check out my blog and learn more about dropshipping.
