What is drop shipping?

Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer.

I personally have been experimenting with drop shipping and I would have to say its a fun and easy way to make money online. My favorite place to sell drop shipped items is on ebay. If anyone has any questions about drop shipping please send me a PM. I would love to help anyone who has any questions about drop shipping.

    I love the response to the drop shipping, but did not agree totally that ebay is the best on it. I believe we need to make an extensive research before conclusive responses. In any case kudos. Meanwhile drop shipping is an idea originally brought by ebay and is practised my many online marketers. At the moment the best is yet to come from it in terms of profits. A research on how to improve on the present form is needed.
    and I will like to hear how others are performing to give good basis for comparisons.
