    I want to sell a specific book on my website. Thought about dropshipping. Went to dropshipping.com and they want a monthly fee. They say that they do not mark up prices. Is this monthly fee normal? How is one to know that they wont get scammed?

    I have worked with some drop shippers and there should not be a monthly fee. Some did have a drop shipping fee per order of $1-$2 while others did not. But there was no monthly fee or minimum. But technically they can do what they want since it's their product.

    Think you are talking about being the buyer of dropshipping products but he is asking about being the supplier to dropshipper.
    Generally, if you are the buyer of dropshipping (which you then sell to your own customers), you should not have to pay but if you have a product to sell to the dropshipper, you may have to pay something. Like being a Commission Junction advertiser/seller, you may to pay some fees but if you are the publisher/buyer, it is free.:D
