B2C Dropship

Are you an online seller looking for wholesale and dropship directories? Or, maybe you want to be an online seller and you’re looking for wholesale sources and suppliers? The profit when selling on eBay (or any online store) is made when you’re buying the product that you want to sell. Since you want people to buy your widget, you need to sell it at a competitive price. To do that, and to make a profit, you need to buy it for an even lower price. So, let me say it again: The profit is made when you’re purchasing your inventory, not when you’re selling it.

Now you’re thinking, “Okay, so I need good, wholesale suppliers, with good quality products, and very good prices. Oh yes, and since I don’t want to store inventory, they also need to be able to dropship.” Gotcha. That is the hard part. In this article we will discuss wholesale and dropship directories and their best-kept secret.

First of all, what exactly is a wholesale and dropship directory? Well, instead of you having to look for individual wholesale sellers that sell the unique products you’re looking for, this work has been done for you; it is called a dropship directory. Dropship directories are wholesale directory listings. The staffs of these directories do all the work. They research companies and they present a finished directory of listings and sources in lots of different industries. There are, however, many differences from one directory to the next.

First, let me tell you what you need to avoid. Like everything else online, scams unfortunately are a dime a dozen. And in the industry of dropship directories, scams are all around us. They take your membership fee and give you crappy listings and companies. Sometimes the companies they give you are here one day and gone the next. Even if they do ship your goods, the products are of questionable quality. (And, since in e-bay, seller reputation is most important, who wants to ruin their name with negative feedback? Not me.) Also, in a lot of these so-called dropship directories, customer service is non-existent. If you’re not happy and you want your money back, well, you might as well talk to the wall behind you. They’re not interested in word of mouth referrals; they want newbie sellers who have not done their proper research.
