Hi KO, and welcome aboard!
I think the best place for you to start is checking out the Education tab in the red menu bar. Perfect starting place for someone just starting up. There is a stack of information on the Forum as well, so definitely read through there looking for topics relevant to you. You can use the search bar at the top in the side menu to seek out those topics that are on point for you.
Of course there's always plenty of assistance available for anything specific you need to know by dropping in a question on the foum.

Welcome to SaleHoo, KolstadOfficial!
Nice to have you with us! Marc's sent you off to the right place. I recommend starting with our New User Manual, found in Guides (the 7th guide down the page).
After all the reading you might want to start brainstorming and eventually decide what type of products you want to sell. Generally it's best to start selling something you are interested in because you are going to be spending a LOT of time thinking about it! Do you love fashion or movies? Perhaps you feel excited about the thought of new gadgets and technology? It's likely that there are plenty of other people who also share your interest - giving you an instant audience for your product. One idea is to jot down your interests and then make a list of products that are related to these interests (we recommend staying away from electronics to begin with as warranty issues can be complicated to manage).
You can use our SaleHoo Research Labs to help you find profitable niches to sell. Every Monday we feature a new niche via our Monday Market of the Week blogs, here's our latest one
Should you need help simply let us know!
All the best :)

Hello again KolstadOfficial.
It depends actually, if you order via dropshipping then yes your dropshipper will pack the orders and ship directly to your customers. Oftentimes the details of y our dropshippers will not be found on the package so it would seem to your customer that you posted their order to them.Wholesale dropshipping is a very popular form of product sourcing because it allows you to pay only for the items that you sell.
If your purchased your products via wholesale in bulk/volume then the bulk order will be delivered to you where you will repack and post to your customers personally.
It works like this: You find a dropshipper and set up an account. Different dropshippers have different setups but usually you can choose to credit your account, or, you can simply leave it empty and pay for each item as you sell it. Once you've created an account, all you need to do is grab the dropshipper's provided photos and product descriptions for the items you wish to sell and list them on eBay or your website. After you make a sale and receive payment, log into your dropshipper account, select the product you have just sold and take it through the checkout and pay for it. Enter the buyer's shipping details, and the dropshipper will package it up and post it. Basically, the big advantage of dropshipping is that the dropshipper takes all the responsibility for handling and managing stock, saving you a heck of a lot of time!
Hope this helps!
