Perhaps the hardest part of getting started with dropshipping is finding good companies to do business with. There is certainly no shortage of fly-by-night companies and scam artists who have sprung up in recent years, trying to take advantage of the many thousands of people who also hope to supplement their income without spending a bunch of money up front. This lure is so very strong that you need to be very careful when selecting dropshipping partners to work with.
There are a few that have been “approved” by eBay, but you'll quickly find that their entire product catalog is already well-represented on eBay by a large number of other dropshippers.
No, it's in your best interest to do your homework and find drop shippers to work with on your own. Otherwise, you're sure to be operating on razor-thin margins that are just as likely to loose money in the long run.
Not all dropshippers are alike, even when selling the same items. When you do find companies that are willing to do dropship work with you, find out how long they've been in business and how long they've been doing dropshipping for clients.
You may be the first test case of a company that's been in business for a long time. While there are great potential rewards for those who go into partnership with start up companies, you need to know the risks – it could be a very bumpy ride with a very new business.
Ask very pointed questions and evaluate the timeliness and professionalism of the responses you get.
Companies that are able to respond to your questions in a quick, forthright manner are the same ones that will be able to jump right on an issue when a problem or dispute arises. They should also be able to tell you, in no uncertain terms, exactly what products they sell, if not all of them, are available for dropshipping.
