new ecommerce (dropship) site

Three product is all you have? I hope visitors won't be disappointed because its all you can offer. How about giving your consumer more choice such as Facebook, Youtube, etc. The customer might recommend it to their friends if you have more type of product.

Firstly, DHGate are basically a collection of trading companies/suppliers/middlemen, not many manufacturers. Some are ok to deal with, over here though (Taiwan) they don't trade with DHGate, they find each other online.

It's ok to be higher in price if you deliver better customer service. Just not too great a margin...

You may even find a wholesaler in the USA. Check where you are first and compare pricing with overseas buys, cost factoring everything such as shipping, customs duties etc.

It also really depends how serious you are about it, if you want to do quantity.

To do quantity, I'd keep searching or pay someone to find you some suppliers. Trading Companies/Agents will always hide their suppliers (manufacturers)...

Some traders have reasonable prices for avoiding headaches involved such as:
Avoiding Risk
1. Their business name in English has to be registered in addition to their Chinese business name. (And this I can state as fact, living in Taiwan...)
2. They should have a land line and fax number. Mobile/Cell numbers only are higher risk for obvious reasons.
3. Samples may be offered but they may botch your following larger orders without a Quality Inspection.
4. Brand Name products will only bring you trouble.
5. Domain Names of sites should be a few years old, if not you are definitely dealing with a Trade Co. or at worst, a scammer.

There are many sites that are FOEs or Foreign Owned Enterprises, that offer legit and useful services. They are pricey but get you results.

Other than that you could fly over to have a look at the Canton Fair and meet manufacturers face to face. Going over there requires capital and, manufacturers don't usually deal with an MOQ (min. order quantity) of less than 1,000 units...If you want to REALLY compete.

Failing all above, contact me, I discovered I can't pm back so just p.m. me an email. Tell me what you'd like, what you can afford, and I'll see what I can do for you. Yes, I'd be acting as your agent, not greedy though. I must warn you however, as close as I am currently to China, this area of business is really just starting for me.

All of the above I have found through hard earned experience, so far.

All the best.

I would really consider getting a better shopping cart. I would go with something like 3d cart or network solutions, they will cost around $50.00 per month but would look so much better than the WP cart.

If you use one of those solutions (there are others but those are the ones I have used and like) you can add content, headers, footers, with ease. Adding products and product options take about 2 minutes. And with those shopping carts there is no reason to pay anyone to build your site.

I would add content about you, your products, etc.
