    Hi All,
    I want to open an shopping cart but i don't want to maintain any inventory in advance.I want to collect the orders from customers and then want to buy from some whole sale dealer.

    2. do i need to find separate vendors for each brand or can i get some single supplier .

    Please let me know how will this model work actually.

    Hi Jass4ecomm

    You can go wiht Magento ecommer cart.

    Which allows you to have productrs on shopping cart with out maintianing inventory. For this for every product need to enalbe 'Back orders and notify custoemrs' option.

    You can download Magento from magentocommerce.com - Download Community vrsio which is free.

    After you have set-up of Magenot reply me a PM wil let you know how to maintiantain inventoy with zero by enabling back orders.

    Sounds like you need a drop shipper. A good drop shipper is hard to come by. Also avoid scams out there. There are a lot of scammer drop shippers out there who will take your money and run. Your best bet is to contact them directly. Good luck and all the best.
