    Could some one explain to me how dropshipping works?

    I'm considering an e-commerce site, but i don't know how drop shipping works.
    and what are the best in the market, in regards to great wholesale or dropshipping companies to do business with.

    Thanks sooo much in advance.

    Basically, in dropshipping you dont have to hold your inventory. You find someone that dropships that means they have a product you want to sell. They sell it to you for a low price (wholesale price usually) then you sell the product to your customers for your price (retail or something like that). But you never have to purchase the product. Once your customers buys a product you let your dropshipper know and they will directly ship the product to your customer.

    However, I may have made it sound incredibly good. It has its disadvantages. You would have to read up on it.
