Does anyone know of any decent dropshippers who sell brand name auto/performance parts such as DC Sports, Injen, etc?

I've been making more money selling person to person, then off ebay. After ebay takes there cut and fees and paypal takes theirs my profit margin is but pennies!. I mean I'm not greedy I try my best to get my customers better deals than anywhere else buy taking the hit if I have too. I don't use dropshippers anymore after one of my customers paid through the nose in duties. I'm finding it severly hard to get some good deals even when I have thousands of dollars to invest no one decent in my country. After shipping it pretty much jacks the price up to regular with only pennies to be made. Everyone is out to make money and were all middlemen. I'd like some answers myself it's so frusterating when there is so many people out there scaming. It makes the rest of us suffer!!!!.

There are lots of auction sites out there.

BUt how bout this..... Put a little more work into your e-bay listings, make them stand out, work for the sale.

Add video to your listings.... people feel good when they see a person behind the product. :wink:

A little thing i like to remember is "Differentiate or Die"

The net is always changing and new things are happening everyday....more like every minute... stand out from the crowd in a positive way and you will be rewarded.

To be honest all the videos and huge listings are a headache--i buy from people that have good pictures straight forward product information.

I have really appreciated the posts in this forum. I'm going to check out some of these other auction sites. I'm getting off eBay, I had just got my store up and running when they suspended my account for a year. Couldn't believe it. They said I was violating one of their policies, and I clearly was not. Oh well, thanx to all of you who posted.
