You have suddenly found the perfect Business and you are all
geared up to make lots of money. You have see the ads about Drop
shipping and it sounds great.
Well of course it is great for some people! BUT will it be great
for you?
Of course it will you think! Well think again its not as easy as
it sounds and don't be fooled into thinking you don't need money.
First of all you start your search for drop shippers, Wow there
is loads. Go on click on one or two.
That's right you have a found a great drop shipper but first of
all they want a joining fee, OK you join, now what! You find it
is a list with loads of drop shippers you can use. This is even
better, so you click on one or two, and lo and behold they want
you to pay as well to sell their products!
Is it a wind up? No they really do, It might be just a few
pounds or a lot of pounds. And then to make things worse some of
them want holding fee to make sure you use their site. It could
be ?20 or ?30 depending on which site you pick. They call it a
trust.
OK you pay up again, but oh the disappointment when you see
their sale products, Most of them are already advertised on Ebay
and other auction sites, and when you check they are selling
them at much cheaper prices than you could ever hope to do.
WOW again, you have found one that is really free to use, yes
there are a few out there. BUT a slight drawback. They have a
big warehouse, but evidently this warehouse only stocks one of
each product or so it seems.
Ok you decide to have a go any way, perhaps you have chosen
jewellery, so you go to Ebay and put a gorgeous gold ring on
auction for five days. Great someone has made a bid, at the end
of five days you find you have made a nice little profit. They
pay up and off you go to warehouse to pay the cash so the ring
will be drop shipped to the customer.
Oh dear they have run out of stock! not surprising when there
was only one to start with. What do you tell your happy customer
who thinks they have just got a bargain and they are eagerly
waiting for it.
What a great start, your disgruntled customer leaves you
negative feedback and wham that's a black mark on Ebay.
So back you go and read every thing you can if they have a
forum. What is the advice that you find, Purchase first to be
sure of the product then put it for sale. So much for starting
your business without having to spend.
If you can afford to purchase it then go ahead, it is a risk
like anything else, but when you see hundreds of the same or
similar on the auction you just have to hope that yours is the
chosen one that they bid on.
Its quite true that some one some where will bid on anything, so
instead of spending ?10 or ?20 on a piece of jewellery or
whatnot, take a tenner and go to your nearest pound shop and buy
ten items, see what you make on them.
That is my advice, take it or leave it. I bet you make a profit.
