Hi 3girlsstuff,
May I ask what products you are interested in selling so we can look for a good dropshipper for you? That's one disadvantage of dropshipping aside from the fact that the profit margin is not as good as when you buy wholesale. If you find a good niche market, then, I believe that it is possible to succeed with dropshipping.
I'd suggest selling stuff from around the house to start. This is a good way of finding a good niche market. By selling stuff from home, you will know what products sell well and quick and with a high end bid (if you're selling on eBay). Not to mention the experience that you will get is priceless.
If you're selling on eBay, you can use eBay’s completed listings to find products with high success rates.
When you’ve found a product that sells well, you need to note the average selling price. This is important as the wholesale price needs to be at least 20% lower than the retail price in order for you to make money.
If you click on the 'Education' tab on any SaleHoo page, you will find links to excellent articles with tips on dropshipping, finding a good dropshipper, etc.
Cheers,
