      alibaba is just a connection to whole salers.

      Dropshipping has extremely low margins.

      also you will need a dropshipper in your area, so where do you live?

    The way to find a reliable dropshipper in any category is from a thoroughly researched and constantly updated list of dropshippers produced by a reputable company who have been doing this for years. Bear in mind, there are many bogus lists doing the rounds at circa $5 each containing recycled misinformation. If you click on the link in the sig. file below, you will be taken to a genuine source directory of dropshippers.

      The other issue with dropshippers is inventory on hand. You could find a 100% dependable dropshipper but find that when you get an order, they are out of that item and can't offer you a delivery timeframe. This of course causes friction with your customer.

      The very best of dropshippers offer a real time inventory system that can be programatically accessed so that you can have your shopping cart in
      constant contact with their inventory database so it knows when not to show a particular product available for sale.

      Of course this doesn't exactly work well if you are selling at eBay or something where you can't have that level of control.

    worldwidebrands.com is the way to go... they list reliable drop shippers. The best option in my opinion..

      Yeah, worldwidebrands.com is a great resource. But to
      protect yourself from running out of inventory, always
      have a backup dropshipper.

      That may require using another resource like salehoo.

    Stay away from Alibaba.com. There are also a few others that list Chinese and other overseas suppliers. Avoid them.
    The mistake many who are new to Ebay make is to think that electronics is the way to go. You will lose your money.
    Best thing is to find local companies.

        Most people trust Worldwide brands. But of course, before going ahead and doing business with WWB, you have to research first and read some worldwide brands review. Many have already been scammed, protect yourself by reading reliable reviews and investigating the background of a company. I've written a comprehensive worldwide brands review, you may want to read it. You can also consumers advocates and see if wwb has any reported misconduct.


        Kind regards,

    I can't vouch for SaleHoo as a dropshipper, I know that I have promoted them as an affiliate. I have had 7 sales and 7 refunds. Not too sure why, they were all targeted leads, might be the product.

    Needless to say I do not promote them anymore. There are a few on paydotcom too.

    You know, I tried Worldwide Brands about three years ago, and due to the high prices of the items, I stopped using them. Perhaps they've changed?

    I also tried Doba, had the same problem, only worse. Their prices are absurdly high!

    I currently use Salehoo and am very happy with it. You have to dig, but you can find good prices.

    But, the thing I always tell anyone who makes a post like this, a supplier does not have to be a "dropshipper" per se.

    Simply find a product they offer and sell it. When you go to order the item from the supplier, put your name and address in the "Billing" field, and your customer's name and address in the "Shipping" field.

    Instant Dropshipper.
