HI guyz,

I am having some noob doubts on drop-shipping turnkey ecommerce business:

Till now I have worked on Ecommerce sites by being an affiliate to amazon, CJ ..
Now iam thinking to develop turnkey ecommerce websites..(using some drop-shipping stores like eforchina, chinabuye etc..)

a) So, what you suggest me? do you think is this drop-shipping turnkey sites gives ur profitable or very risky?

b) Does a beginner can able to achive it? or will face lots of problems.. I knew how to develop sites using magento..

c) BTW, how we get money, right after we sold product or some monthly or weekly basis? and how we receive money? paypal?

d) can you tell me some some top dropshipping sites which is able to do shipping for every country? does shipping to a country depends on a supplier or drop-shipper?


e) I seen some dropshippers, they charge us some monthly (for eg: worldwidebrands.com) , since iam a beginner , its tough for me to bear those charges.. Do u know BEST and FREE dropshippers? (like chinabuye)


f) Does anyone buy if I try to sell magento ecommerce websites either in flippa or here...? does people show interest here? (assume its just a new website with no traffic, no earnings, just installed with magento... )


g) Is there anyway to store 100's of products , its descriptions in an easy way? should we need to add manually each product or anything something like datafeed via xml or csv?I heard that we need to use some magento datafeed extension? is it freee?


h) Who supports datafeeds?

i) How can I get approved easily from these dropshippers? (say eforchina), which site do they like so that they would easily approve me? I already have one ecommerce site, but that is not drop-shipping kinda.., the site looks gud, is that enuf? or do they ask how much revenue generated from it? (well, i made very less money from it..)

j) when any customer bought a product, what're the next steps that I've to do?(Should I really need to do some job for every sale I make?)


iam sorry if anything wrong in my queries..

Awaiting your replies..

      I do both drop shipping / ecommerce and affiliate marketing. I also have a physical retail location.

      Drop shipping / ecommerce is a full business model and not for the hobbyist. You need to have a business set up before legit drop shippers will talk to you. Also...real mfg drop shippers will not charge you monthly fees, just a per order bump of usually $2-$4 per order for the trouble. Stay away from drop shipping websites in my opinion. I have found plenty of people willing to drop ship direct from manufacturer.

      Yes, it is a good business model... with the word "business" being a strong part of it. Your money will come per order as you are the one receiving the money from the customer not the drop shipper.

      If you want more info you can PM me. Hope this little bit helps.

    You can find good drop shippers if you are a start up. As long as you can generate the sales they will ship the product.

        I have been searching for long too and got some dropshippers. I have registered for Wholesale2b.com - looks good so far, making my site now.

        I have an account with worldwidebrands.com that I dont use. You can take it from me at half the price I got it.

        Just starting up too.

        Yes, without proper traffic, its zero leads, its zero sales. This is the Number 1 Problem that stops 97% of marketers dead in their tracks - lack of TRAFFIC.
