    First you need to find a niche.

    then find a dropshipper. SOme dropshippers charge a fee like $2/per order, some charge nothing, some make you pay a monthly fee, etc

    The dropshipper will have a datafeed which you will have to import into your site.

    Drop shipping is where a customer orders your product and you buy it directly from the dropshipper (middleman) or manufacturer and ship it to the customer.

    First you'd have to find a product like the above poster said, then you'd have to make a deal with maker/manufacturer so he'd ship it to your customers.

    You can design a website, then contact with some vendors or manufacturers. And after that you can offer them to sell their products in your sites on a commission bases.

    If you are a dropshipper you're acting as a middle man with the customer and the supplier. Of course you will have your website and you should know your market for it to work. I think the only payment your gonna do is your website coz in dropshipping it is a commission basis so you won't pay anything to the manufacturer. You receive an order then pass it to the supplier and they do the rest.
