    Clothes is a pretty tough market to go into drop shipping basically because you will be competing with cheap knock offs from china.. this can be a problem if you will be using eBay as your retail point / customer aquisition portal as if you are selling a D&G or any other brand name item and it gets drop shipped from china your customers might not be happy to get a fake item then complain to eBay etc.. then you lose out.

    As for hsshopping I used to deal with them about 3 yrs ago and they are absolute sh*thouse.. crappy products.. and I mean crappy than most other knock offs from china and disgraceful service.

    if youre looking for a good drop shipping retailer try DHGATE.COM they are the equivalent of eBay in China and have escrow, paypal etc and a huge list of products for sale.. just make sure you research first on eBay before selecting a product to resell.. and finally the margins are small.. infact you will probably sell at cost on eBay and make $2 - $3 / item sold on the postage fees.

    Good luck though.

    I got mixed reviews from other people about DGGate.com. It probably received bad reviews due to knockoffs incident. Recently, worldwidebrands has been widely promoted by affiliates about setting up your own online stores. I've found out this site http://dropshippingessentials.com about drop shipping for beginners.

    I agree that the issue of knockoffs from china will be huge here, especially since on ebay they are mixed in as authentic, and tehre's a lot of brand confusion.

    The China knockoff business is growing substantially!

    Clothes is a pretty low return niche to penetrate - it's also fairly competitive and you'd have to spend a lot on advertising to actually make sales which could be a little tricky. Have you considered drop shipping anything else?
