I'm trying out dropshipping to earn some extra income. But I find that it's quite a competitive endeavour because other sellers are also selling the same things as I am and they're pricing their products so low that I can't possibly compete with them. I often wonder where they get their products that they can price them so low? But I do still get orders. I guess it depends on when your products come in front of the customers. And if the customers are in a hurry to buy or not. If they're not then they can browse some more to look for lower prices. If they're in a hurry, they'll just buy whatever that comes in front of them.

Yes, online shopping prices is getting so affordable. They also have those Sale day. Though, I don't go for that because I don't need any yet so, I don't buy. Maybe your competitors price are so low because they really buy in bulk from their suppliers.

That is what I thought also. Perhaps they have a dedicated supplier that they can negotiate for a lower price if they buy in bulk and that requires money and storage space; both of which I'm in short supply.

maybe the product they sell is of a lower quality than your product so they sell at a lower price

Perhaps. But I think they're the same.

It's a hard time selling products online in our days, there are so many cheap competitors.

That is so true. It's really hard to compete on price alone so we can only hope that our products appear before those who are in a hurry to buy that they cannot compare prices.

What I understand is that you do not need to keep any stock but when you receive seller order, you need assist the seller to source for the order at the lowest cost and deliver to the logistic company for mailing. Correct me if I am wrong.

It is a great opportunity if someone is having the interest to explore new opportunity to be part of the ecommerce business. The future is about buying and selling virtually so if someone would like to earn some part time income, this is a good opportunity.
