If it looked dodgey, you shouldn't have signed up. I think a valuable lesson has been learned

yea it was really shitty and they made it extremely hard to find out how to cancel your account.Fortunately I found how after about 30 minutes of looking but I have to wait til monday to make a phone call for the account to be canceled. Most items i was interested in were refurbished, too.

To anybody reading this.. I think doba is horrible. Just my opinion though

I wasn't happy with doba either. I gave them a trial run, but all of their prices were the same as overstock.com. Not a good way to make money if a larger company that actually has an advertising budget can sell the same products for less and still make a profit. I can't say I found it hard to cancel my account, though. Just one phone call.

I read from another forum that says that this is a valid dropshipper and there are actually people earning money selling their products...I am not too sure about their price as i am not their member.

Apparently the trick with Doba is to get their latest products up and running IMMEDIATELY. The issue comes down to market saturation. You gotta be johnny on the spot if you're using a drop-ship middle-man.

Cheers,

Hi I just joined YE and I currently use DOBA as one of my dropshippers...They have also been known to discontinue an item without warning or notice..I lost a customer because of that..If I could find another that's better than DOBA than I'm kicking them to the curve.

I am currently revamping my on-line store to only sell "Small Ticket,Impulse Buy"items I'm looking for a wholesale dropshipper of books,audiobooks,CD's DVD/VHS movies, videogames, toys and bulk items(i.e. I buy something for $1.50 sell it for $3.00.) with no minimum order requirements,no tax ID or reseller certificate. I don't want to sell anything for over $50..All items must be new or if they are books,CD's,DVD's and Videogames etc., they must be new and current releases with a minimum codition of "mint" I know it's asking alot but I really need sales.

Although I'm new with them, I'm very impressed. During the trial I received a phone call from them asking whether or not I like the service, etc. They do a great job at allowing you to just put your item up on Ebay & streamline everything else. They also offer a variety of ways to search their products. Last but not least, their support seems to be very good. Overall I would highly recommend them for the person just getting in on the ground floor.

I've used Doba. It's awful. product quantities are extremely limited, profit margins too low, monthly fees too high!
