Default Advice needed please

Could anyone give me some advice?I want to start dropshipping and after months of research i have come to the conclusion that overseas companys will offer me better profit margins.
I have very little money,so i want to start selling on auction sites first to raise money and then intend if succesfull to run my own site.
Would someone be kind enough to tell me if i could sell via dropshipping companys in usa,to usa customers,even though i live in the uk on sites like ebay and any other advice would be more than welcome.
The reason i want to sell to us public is to save on shipping cost.Thankyou

Hey connor,

Yeah there is no reason why you cant sell via dropshipping companys in usa,to usa customers, as long as you are positive that you have chosen a reliable company.

There are obviouslly going to be more complications though, and I think you could be just as successfull selling in the UK through UK dropshipping companies. (although there is rarely a very large profit margin when dealing with dropshipping companies).

You might also find that the profit margins you have from dropshipping companies are not large enough to cover the costs and fee's incurred through selling on ebay!

Bear this in mind, and be sure to fully understand exactly what profits can be made on the items your selling after any incurred costs! Common sense really!

Hope this helps.

i agree with Eggtrade, if you want PSPs dropshipping i can have them sent from Asia for you for £120 for standard packs and £140 for value packs, they both include delivery.

But you must pay me via PayPal mass pay to cut out any fees otherwise the price will go up.
You could use BACS transfer as thats free but there is a 3-4 turn around waiting for funds.

Here is a dropshipper in the UK that sells iPod accessories, mobile accessories, memory cards etc... see what you can ge tout of them.
