Hi

Yeah could you please reccomend me some dropshippers eg: Wholesale - China wholesale - Professional Chinese wholesaler - Dropship from China

I just want to have a few dropshippers so I can see what they are offering and compare prices. I want to find a product to tap into a niche UK market on ebay. I've thought of many different products to sell so far but none of them tick all the boxes i'm after. EG the product must:

Ideally not being currently sold in the UK/Currently being sold in UK but with only a few cometitors.
Ideally be small and easy to post
Have potential as a business
Availaible from a dropshipers at a cheap price and short lead times

I'm desperate to start a business this summer but can't find the right product to sell.

Thanks

The trouble is people who have found a good dropshipping company and they sell on Ebay with a good product are going to keep that information to themselves as other people could be seen as competition,could be wrong though

yeah hopefully I might be in luck! Should I find a product to sell first before a dropshipper or pick a product that dropshippers are offering?

And the first rule about drop shipping is: don't drop ship from anyone outside your own country, especially china.
Your goods could be held up for days, weeks, or months in customs. You'll be sure to ruin your ebay feedback this way, as your customer won't be happy.

If you want to buy wholesale from another country, thats another story. But you are still chancing being ripped off because they don't have to follow the same laws as your country.

Also, another thing to remember, China is "KING OF COUNTERFEITERS". They are known for selling knockoff products that are less capable than advertised also. For instance, where do you think all those 10 gig ipods that were only 512mb were coming from? China

Anyone seriously considering using a dropshipper for children's dvds, contact enzodrop. I think he's at gmail He's a rep for a children's dvd manufacturer. They're using dropshipping to cut ad cost.

I would suggest trying a different approach to finding the right business. Most people automatically revert to drop shipping because they hear about it all over the business e-zines and infomercials... It's not the most profitable way to conduct business and in my opinion isn't worth the money.

If I was starting like yourself, I would call around and try to set up 25-30 interviews over a week with several area business owners or managers. Ask them some questions regarding the pain in their business and what products they would like to see (to ease the pain that they stated). This way, you get a feel for the marketplace and know what business owners want. Once you find a common pain, you have your product/service to offer... This is a little more complicated than I have explained hear but hopefully you get the idea. If you would like to talk about this process further, send me an email. I will email you my report on ebusiness.

Yeah! Don't you just hate that. Competition is healthy. IMO

what type of companies are you looking for? I ran an ATV business for a while so I could recommend a couple company's.

I can dropship cell phone unlock codes for you if you'd like. Basically you collect the phone IMEI code, and I'll email the customer the unlock code.

It's very easy to do and there's great margins! For example, I can sell you the unlock code for the HTC G1 phone for $15. You're main competitor will be: unlock-tmobileg1 dot com

They sell it for $23.99... as long as you sell it for $19.99 you're golden! There's tons of money to be made! You can even just list these on eBay!

Dropshipping is hard to come by. People that have a reliable dropshipping company will not give up that information.

Be careful with dropshippers outside of the country. I've had great experiences with Worldwide Brands although there are some others out there as well.

Biggest thing with dropshipping products, make sure the dropshipper carries enough inventory. Backorder situations can sometimes ruin a relationship with a client. Otherwise, it's a great way to get into online business.
