    Hi,
    I want to give dropshipping a go.
    Can anyone recommend any UK companies that offer this service.
    Ideally want to find a company geared for newbies, and preferably don't have to pay to sign up.

    Don't mind what niche they fall in, I just want to have a go :)

    Cheers,
    Martyn

    www.atsdistribution.co.uk

    If you have a look through the site there are some ok (ish) products. If you want to know the wholesale price before signing up send me a pm with the product code and I will let you know.

    Dropshipping is when you sell without holding stock because you have an agreement with a supplier. Its usually a win-win for both. You take less risk because you don't have to hold stock but you sell more products for the supplier.

    How much profit can you expect to make out of it? Presumably most people sell through eBay?
