    I have built a fully automated ebay program and now need to test it with dropship products. The script will post all day, and then when buyer pays it can automatically notify the dropship company to ship product.

    I'm looking for a dropship company to use, any recommendations?

    I've been selling for years on Ebay, but have been hesitant to try dropshipping because the profits are soooo small, but now that I have automated everything, it might work. Basically, the only way this can't work is if dropshipping in general does not work, which is possible...

    any other advise is welcome

    Thanks

    I have used bidz.com, used it quite a bit a year or so ago when they had free shipping to Oz between certain hours.

    Never made a killing on ebay with the items, but did ok. I see the ebay market completely flooded with bidz items now, so I would have to doubt if there was much in it now.

    We found the true online market value of most of their items to be around 10-15% of the value they quote on the sale. We would only buy if we could secure the item at around 5-7% of their estimated value to ensure some profit, but that was back then.

    You say dropshipping, but bidz was never a dropshipper, just an auction, I'm assuming there has been some serious changes over there so I'll have to stop by for a look.

    Agreed the trouble with dropshippers is that the margins are thin. I am always on the hunt for good dropshippers
