honestly you won;t make any money dropshipping. You are better of buying goods from a wholesaler or a liquidater, in saying this choose carefully of either one and do your homework on what item you would like to buy and sell. Remember when buying to try and get goods at a decent price, so as you can sell them for a profit. But make sure you make the price attractive to sell, so you can make a profit. Hope this helps
cheers

Dropshipping has very little support on ebay these days. Its close to impossible. Ebay has changed it views on dropshippers because the out of stock issue pisses off many of ebays buyers.
Paypal is in on it with ebay by forcing many dropshippers to prove delivery of the item or a buyers positive before they release the funds to you.

Its a very big hassle. Ive been selling liquidations for years. Ebay gives me no trouble at all. Now I am a Liquidator.
