I have done pretty well in the past. I sold my two sites that were bringing in about $5k profit per month. I have decided to move onto other things.

I've also tried many drop shipping packages and i think i found the most profitable one.

My previous expreriences showed me that the picture quality is so important, actually no need to say that here you know it already. Another thing is that your number of products in the same category. I mean you must concentrate more on a product line rather then too general.

If you want to sell Cellular phones, you must list all brand names, models of cellulars otherwise people may not trust you.

Actually i want to add a little more but im going to have to go now.

thanks for reading

Currently I am using dropshipping and I am so frustrated that I am almost thinking of starting my own dropshipping company.

Well, I have never heard anything good about dropshipping, until I read the previous few posts, personally, I just don't like the idea. I don't see how it can be profitable. Unless you have some type of pseudo-dropship relationship with a supplier, who isn't a dropship company but a regular wholesaler willing to do a little extra work on your behalf to form a dropship relationship.

Im biased, I vote no.

Starting your own dropshipping company is a great idea, you just need a lot of capital to carry stock.

It could be my industry, but I don't like dropshipping because of out of stock issues. I do not like not having control over inventory, and find out an order can't be filled because the products are out of stock lol.

Wholesale is usually about quantity. It's hard to believe you can get wholesale pricing simply by purchasing one product.

Also, a comment on Pboychuk: Although I do not prefer dropshipping, it is a world of wonders because holding your own inventory will require a shit ton of capital lol

You are so right about it.
This can be avoided by real time inventory feed but the dropshippers don't provide that.
