Drop Ship Services - Finally, The Truth

I have been doing e-commerce for several years, and I always get questions like 'How do I get started selling online?' - there are no simple answers, but one concept that works very well for many beginners is to begin using drop ship services to sell products online.

These services allow you to begin selling with no initial inventory investment.  You just advertise your products for sale, and utilize drop ship services to do the shipping or fulfillment of your orders.  It really is that easy.  You can take credit cards for a low cost using PayPal, and you really don't even need your own web site.  You can set up shop on eBay, Squidoo, or one of the other free services available online.

Beware, however; there are many scam artists on the web who are posing as drop ship services that only exist to separate you from your hard-earned money!  Avoid these sites like the plague!

How to you know the provider of the drop shipped products is genuine?  Here are a couple of tell-tale signs.  First, if the service tells you don't have to do any work - run don't walk away.  They are only middlemen who want to use you to promote their products- with a measly profit for you.  Second - real drop ship services give you a name, address and phone of the actual company that produces or distributes the products.  This allows you bypass the middleman and will allow you to price your product so you can make a decent profit.

Don't fall for scams - be sure your e-commerce product supplier is a genuine vendor and not some kind of middleman.
