How can I start with little capital?

Hi,

I am brand new to this dropship/wholesale business. What should I do first? I have very little capital.

4GB ipod is $216US

Although it's probably a good site if you just want to buy one item for yourself


do they have a moq?

I find this on their FAQ section:
6. Do you require a minimum order amount or can I simply purchase one item at a time for my customers?
The main reason we start Dropshipper Network is to help the small player who can not afford to buy in bulk. Therefore, we do not have a minimum order amount for each purchase.


I wonder if anyone can pm me some of their price lists :/ Thanks alot

free to sign up??? They charge $14.90US, or at least they did. I thought their prices were ok, hadn't really looked at ipods. There phones are expensive, but their cameras are ok, I've made profits with them on ebay

Hi all,

Sorry this may sound silly but how exactly does dropshipping work? The item is won on ebay (lets say) the buyer then pays money to the dropshipper and the dropshipper sends the profit to you?? I am really confused :?

Also, I have actually been emailing dropshippernetwork for the past week and have found that they are fantastic to deal with (but they will not give any prices without you paying the joining fee)

I am quite interested in joining, as I too have very little capital and this looks like it could be a great way to start off.

I would love it if I too could have some prices pm to me :D

Thanks

I am after the Xbox 360 Uk spec do ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** have these ? If they do can somebody be so kind and tell me how much they want and what shipping is to the UK ? I am fed up of paying for information and not getting anywhere.

Thanks

With dropshipping, you list the item and the buyer pays you. You then order it from your dropshipper, who ships it to the buyer and usually uses your return address.

Hi All

Yes i joined dropshippernetwork last week before joining salehoo. They do charge a $14.90 US fee. I found them to be quite expensive, especially the mobiles, but i was considering the cameras seeing as i sell on ebay and the profits wont be that big. Shezz you are from Australia, (I am too), I was worried about buying from them incase they sent goods that werent made for australian standards, such as the charger we need for our plugs etc? Do you recommend them? Can a decent profit be made?. Thanks, Christine. :)
