Recommended Wholesale Dropship For Ebay

soccer-boy · 06-24-2006, 05:18 AM

I subscribe to the newsletter at www.silentsalesmachine.com, and I recommend it to all eBay sellers. In this months newsletter the author had visited eBay live.

Here's a great free wholesale database that I found while at eBay Live.

While at eBay Live 2006 I met the owner and founder of GOWHOLESALE.com. I was impressed with his free online database and asked him a few questions. This online database of wholesale sources is free because wholesalers must pay to be in the database. Many other services (even some that I REALLY like) charge the users (you and me) to use the database, but GoWholesale.com does just the opposite quite successfully. Check them out!

There are a number of good things about this database.
- Its free.
- The wholesalers are serious as they paid to join
- Almost every item under the sun is covered

Hope this helps, as I read a lot of threads about people looking for reliable wholesalers.

There are much better ways of finding wholesalers, you will find that the majority do not need your custom so won't advertise especially like this. It is upto you to find them.

Our site has a directory full of wholesalers & dropshippers:

wholesalers2u.co.uk

Lots of the companies listed don't have websites, so there are nearly impossible to find using the obvious choices like Google.

http://importsource.co.nr/dropship.htm

Are these good sources? Has anyone heard or dealt with these companies. any feedback is appreciated. thanks

I found couple of wholesalers from the site suggested by this. UK Wholesalers . Seeing the site I feel it is a dodgy one. But did the work for me. I am happy. Hope some one else would also find it helpful.

Real Dropshippers are 100% free.

Why in the world would a REAL dropshipper pay to be in a database? A retail wholesaler and dropshipper are often one in the same. The wholesaler have what is called a fulfillment (dropship) service. They do not want thousands of new SMALL accounts from little ebay hobbiests. They want HUGE accounts from large companies and corporations. A real factory authorized wholesaler will not advertise to the public... they provide dropshipping to help registered small buisness , not anyone with a credit card willing to pay them a monthly fee.

Many REAL dropshippers will work with eBay sellers, but you need to know where to look

Wholesale lists and the whole drop-shipping thing is waaay overrated.

Forget about both of them. There's too many people trying to sell wholesale lists, etc...if the lists were so good, why do they so desperately try to sell you access to them?

Why are these supposed gurus who make millions of dollars from eBay trying to sell you their books on how to do it? It doesn't make sense at all.

There is no SECRET to selling on eBay...there is no secret wholesale or drop-shipping list. It's all BS. Trust me, I'm a powerseller...I sell mostly second-hand stuff, but wholesale sources for new things are not so easy to come by as most of these "so-called millionaires" try to make it seem.

There's a lot of misinformation going around about eBay and wholesale/dropshipping...too many scams and liars...not saying the OP is a liar, but attending eBay live doesn't make you an expert. I could have gone to eBay live but decided there's no point. Waste of money. You can talk to as many sellers as you want for free on the eBay forums.

Our members have reported better returns and sales on Price Grabber Store Fronts and Amazon then eBay. Even Jelly Fish seems to help people get more sales then ebay.

Hi guys,

This is my first post on this forum, hopefully I can be of some help as it's what I do!

I couldn't agree more with NorKal's points, you have to be very careful when looking at wholesale or dropshipping lists or directories, you could spend allot of time looking at allot of info with little or no real use.

In most cases the really useful wholesale suppliers and distributors are hard to track down, I know it's a pain but as NorKal mentioned, they will not need to advertise because they have more then enough custom, what they are really looking for is serious and educated buyers that will not waste their time and know what to expect and what is required to succeed when selling online, for that reason they cannot be found from general searches online because they do not want to be inundated with hundreds of questions and time wasting dreamers that will never actually get their wallet out and make a purchase.

That doesn't mean you can't get an account with the big suppliers but it does mean you can't just hook up with them and watch the money come rolling in!

First you need to research your niche, make a plan, work your plan and finally go to the suppliers with the confidence and experience they expect, once they can take you seriously they will be very happy to open an account for you, after all if you make money they make money.

OK I'm boring you now so I'll stop there, I could write a ten page article about this subject but if you want to know the in depth version you can signup to my free newsletter on my site and each week I'll guide you through the process step by step.

Good luck guys,

Andy

is there anyone that can just share his/her drop shipper list?

orange655321 · 08-16-2007, 12:15 PM

Yes we actually offer a free directory of programs. You can create an account and skip the credit card verification step if you prefer and still view all of the suppliers that we are integrated with. We only integrate with larger programs though with 200 or most in the 2,000 to 4,000 skus with some of the larger programs in the 12,000 to 20,000sku catalog size. There is never a charge for creating the free account....it is not a trial of 7 days and then a charge if you forget to cancel it is free unless you add a data service. some of the programs are Moteng, Wynit, XS Depot, DBL, LNC, DH, etc.

I have paid for lists in the past, and it was an absolute waste of money.

Have you guys used SaleHoo before, or heard of for that matter.

I am a member, and do have access to a large database of suppliers for any type of item. But i have never used any of the suppliers, and the margins for me in AUS, is just not worth the trouble of importing. They review and rate each supplier/dropshipper.

Its good for me as the forum is quite active, but the sort of margins just do not cut it for me.

Cheers
