Thank you so much for such a useful article! I'm new to dropshipping and I'm currently on the hunt for some good ones. Have found a couple of potential ones who I'm going to ring this afternoon with the questions!

Thank you for the interesting article. I didn't even know what dropshipping was until I found this forum

What worries me about ths service is if you sell something, then try to purchase from dropshipper and he is out of stock? What do you do? some of the websites I have seen seem to have very small numbers in stock ie 14 or so.

Do they recoup stocks quickly or do you have to cancel your sale and risk lots of negative feedback

Hope someone can enlighten me

That's one of the risks you might encounter when you start dropshipping.

The only solutions are to find another dropshipper offering the same product(s), refund your customer(s) or buy from a retailer or another source.

Thanks, a really good start. I'm currently just starting out on the dropshipping side. I've spent a couple of years on ebay using the whole "purchasing stock then selling on" but its not growing as I want it and certainly wont without some major investment in stock which obviously holds its own risks. When I've looked at this before I've never successfully found a dropshipper that I could actually make money from. Maybe I've just not been looking in the right place. Hopefully this forum might be the key to finally cracking this and growing my business.
Thanks again.
