What profit margins do you make by dropshipping?

I don't see how that would help you. Can you explain the type of products that you are selling then maybe you can get a better understanding on profit margins because every product and every niche is different, so it will always vary.

I think it can vary between 20% - 50%

I have been dropshipping off and on (mostly off) since 2003 or somewhere around there. My profit margin has been anywhere from 35% to as much as 50%. That is using the true meaning of profit margin. Many people confuse margin and markup and further yet, many people have no idea what the equations for each really is.

However, I know that this is not typical of what markup dropshippers make. In fact, many stocking retailers don't even make 50% margins. I only did because I only ever dropshipped items that were extreme niche items where I knew I could make large markups or cases where I knew I could find buyers that would buy way above street retail for various reasons.

The only way I see that one can make decent markup and margins in dropshipping is to be on the cutting edge of what is selling and be ready to sell before eveyrone and their brother (and mother) gets on-board and starts selling and prices start falling. Another way is if you are good at convincing certain buyers to buy at your higher price. However, in this day and age that has become harder to do on the internet since it is so easy to comparison shop.

I think it depends on what you sell, and how many "middle men" you have to go through to get the product to your customers. For a better profit margin, try to work directly with the supplier who manufactures what you sell. If you get items from a dropshipper who sourced them from a supplier, you are paying more fees and taking a smaller cut of profits. Get as close to the source as you can.

If you look at both the Chinese sellers and the USA sellers who dropship from Chinese retailers they vastly have poor feedback scores and don;t last long before they get suspended. Yet Amazon welcomes chinese sellers with open arms. Fact is, buyers on Amazon just don;t read anything and don't pay attention to where a sellers says he/she ships from. And even if they do read that it's coming from China, most have no idea what to really expect in terms of delivery times. It's a recipe for disaster, especially on Amazon where there is virtually no seller protection whatsoever. This would be the same if dropshipping from just about any foreign country.

Hell, if one could really make a go out of drophipping from china, I could be making money hand over fist as I know quite that are legit. It's just not a viable, at least not on a marketplace.
