Lately this has been the talk of so many, especially via those who are known to sell on eBay, Bonanza, Etsy, Shopify, and Yes, even Amazon. Anytime you do not see the Prime logo next to an item on Amazon, you never know where the item might be really coming from.
Also been seeing a lot of negativity about it or people asking why? But then for those who don't know there is a Huge amount of people online who are doing this and doing this regularly. On a lot of the sites you shop on anymore, this is even becoming the norm. (Walmart now included.)
What I mean by dropshipping is to Sell an item on eBay for instance. It might be a dresser from WalMart. Selling for $169 plus Tax. You list it for one price on eBay say for $279 and then also on Bonanza for $329. When it sells on Bonanza, you go purchase it from Walmart with the funds you earned on Bonanza and have the excess after fees for profit.
And the example above has happened for me, is why I could refer to it like I did. This is a lot of the way that I make my $$ on eBay and Bonanza and it is a Fun nice little additional income.
So now you know something new. Is this something anyone else has ever done or would consider doing, or does this not appeal to you?

I have heard of Dropship, but I don't know much about it.
What if the product is out of stock when you make the sell?

The business I do teaches everything from start to sale etc. Even has a tracker that tracks all your items and puts a 0 next to your items when they are out of stock.

That's a good question. That would worry me about this method of dropshipping.

That is ok. But unlike you can sell it local you have to worry about a place in your house to store everything and shipping Cosis to where with drop shipping you don't have to have theverything items on you.

Yes I have heard of it but I have never done it. I don't have the funds to do it I guess. I had considered trying to save up some gift cards and do a couple items but it doesn't seem worth the trouble if you don''t have funds to use.

Well as lot of it is explained when you first start and the thing I like about it is you do not need to store products in your house to sell or mail off to anyone.

I belong to an online business that teaches it. It is a lot of information to help teach a person how to get started

One time I bought one product in a Chinese site and I wrote on site that the deadline was of 70 days. Yeah, I know that is much. The person received the product with 40 days.
