Hi im jon and I want to start dropshipping buisness on ebay I have considered all the pros and cons and I quite happy with them
Id like to know where to start what is the best dropshipping website/sourse
I have an ebay account and I think I am ready to go

The reason i want to do dropshipping is that you dont have to pay loads of money upfront to get stock you pay once the customer has paid. Am I right with this?

Basically I just want some help on where to start really

Thanks Jon

No point in going over the downsides as you say you have done your homework already. There are plenty of links on this forum and others which you can google, There are even a few who can arrange dropshipping for you on this very forum.

What line of business are you attempting to start dropshipping in?

Oh and BTW, welcome!

I was thinking maybe mobile phones or mp3s or maybe childrens toys
Im not too sure I was hoping someone with dropshipping experience could point the way to what is the easiest to start out with

thanks jon

Jon, you should do your home work before signing-up to a drop shipping service. In my opinion, first thing you should do is - define a product group/niche you want to sell in. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to what what you're looking for, as you don't know exactly what you're looking for :-)

If you're new to selling on eBay, I wouldn't recommend dropshipping concept in the beginning. Start selling some cheap stuff which you can by in quantity for a few quid per piece. Build your feedback score and experience, and then look into dropshipping opportunities.

Welcome Jon,

You can do well by dropshipping through eBay. But not the items you mentioned. The place is loaded with them and you will not be able to compete.

Find something else. Light switch covers with dogs on them. Fan pulls with cats. Stamped tin signs. Wind spinners. Something not everyone else is also selling.
