    I use Doba. Goto Doba.com they have over 1 million products to sell. I sell them on ebay and you can make a profit without ever touching the products. Doba is real and the suppliers are good.

    Things to remember when selling on Ebay, don't try and jack your prices up from the drop shipper. Think about this. If you just make $1.00 profit on each product that you sell on ebay, and you sell 50 products daily that's a minimum of $1,500 a month. You can make more way more than this, but I am just giving you an estimate of $1.00 profit.

    One thing to remember when selling on ebay is the fees and paypal fees. There is a FREE program if you Google it that will calculate all your fees for you. I would open an Anchor store with ebay as then you can list ALL your items at $.03 each which is nothing. An Anchor store on ebay is $300 a month, but if you are serious about making some money it's the way to go.

    I hope this helps you out:)

    I would not recommend this unless you know a certain product niche really well and what the market value of certain items really is. There is a lot of people selling things in the most profitable niches, this makes for stiff competition with limited buyers.

    Essentially what I am saying is a lot of the markets for the products these drop shipping sites provide are over saturated so you must take caution.

    Drop shipping was one of the first things I tried on my quest to make money "on the internet", and I did not make a dime. Granted I did not know what I was doing but that's my point. It's tough unless you really know a market with demand.

    If you are looking to make money online for the long haul then just start by learning the basics of internet marketing. The free way to get started is to read up a little on affiliate marketing and start submitting articles that promote certain affiliate sites to article databases like ezine or squidoo. Then once you are making money you can re-invest that into a domain and hosting to start creating your own website. Now you are building a business that makes money without you being there!

    The best way in my opinion to find good drop shippers is simply to go on Ebay and look for a store that is selling the kind of products you'd like to sell. Then, contact the vendor and ask him if he does wholesale, and if so, ask him if he accepts drop shipping orders. Make sure that he accepts Paypal and also make sure that he has a good reputation. You can find tons of good suppliers with this method in no time.

    I would not recommend sites such as Doba since most of their stuff is overpriced and you'll have issues reaching a good enough profit margin to make a good buck. The best bet is to go for oversees suppliers that accept Paypal and have a good reputation as Ebay vendors.

    I wouldn't recommend it unless you find a product to sell. Don't force it and get a product simply for the sake of drop shipping, as you'll find your time wears away trying to sell a product that no one wants. The doba suggestion above is a good one, you can also possibly look on sites like esources. But really it is hard to find a product that is not simply being sold cheaper by another seller.

    Drop shipping is good but it takes a lot of effort. There are easier ways to make money.

    Wait. This guy didn't just copy the exact same thing I said verbatim. That can't be possible.
