eBay Dropship: Suppliers That Will Ship Your Orders For You

By Quentin Beckenbauer

Using a dropshipper offers anyone looking to get into Internet retail the easiest point of entry. Drop shipping is where your customer places an order with you, pays for the product, and then you place the order with the dropshipper, who then ships the item to your paying customer. With drop shipping, you never take ownership of the products.

While using a dropshipper is a great way to start out in eCommerce, finding reputable dropshippers can be hard. There are many dropship suppliers that you would be wise to steer clear of, so finding one that will treat you right can be a lot of work.

Many directories showing dropship and wholesale suppliers are available on the Internet, but most are just a big waste of time. Their data is old or inaccurate, they are full of companies that you really don't want to be doing business with, or they have listings for companies selling items that you have no interest in selling.

Finding both a good dropshipper and a useful dropshipping directory can be quite a task. You should be very aware of what you are buying when you are in the market for a dropship, or wholesale directory. Make sure you are buying something of value before you spend your precious money.

It is extremely important to purchase a directory from a reputable company. They have to be willing to stand behind their product, be constantly updating it and be willing to offer quality customer support.

You also want to make sure the directory you are purchasing is more than a couple of pages of company names. It should be very large, and full of information that allows you to actually get into contact with suppliers you might be interested in doing business with.

You need a dropshipper directory that will help you find suppliers that are willing to work with you, the online retailer. You do not need to waste your money on directories that are full of junk companies that you would be crazy to deal with.

Do your due diligence before you purchase a drop shipping company directory. Do an Internet search for drop shipping directories and do your research. You owe it to yourself to ensure that you purchase the most thorough, information filled drop ship directory that is available.
