    Hi ..

    any ideas about from where to buy an established ecommerce/dropship website ?

    I need to make money that will be directly available in my paypal, and I think an ecommerce website is the best choice .

    any thoughts ??

    also, what will be the standards for buying such websites ? 8 to 14 months revenue is okay ?

    Thanks ..

    10 - 12 months of VERIFIABLE revenue is more than adequate these days...

    This also depends on numerous factors such as

    = amount of work you have to dedicated each day vs. the return for that labor
    = amount, if any, out of pocket marketing expenses to maintain level of revenue +% of growth that is possible
    = type of revenue whether it's passive or not, ad based or product/service based.
    = how long the site has been earning consistent or increasing revenue to show growth and potential

    Do your homework and be aggressive. You will get what you want!

    Cheers!~

    I would base it on profit more than gross revenue. I've seen ecommerce sites operate on a sub-2% profit margin. It would take forever for a positive ROI if they have a high volume of sales and very low profit.

    i think that magento offers the best ecommerce solution for you since it is free. it does have some fees involved such as a host thats capable of running it, but thats about it. also, theres a doba extension that allows you to work with doba.com dropshipping.

    Better than buying a ecommerce site, you can avail ecommerce service from SaaS based solution. ZScart will give you excellent ecommerce service in monthly payment schemes.
