Drop shipping

Is there someone who has ever tried to dropship ?
Are there any good starting guides ?

Drop shipping ? aren't amazon and ebay a thing nowadays ?

Hey, actually I just closed my shop. So over Christmas I was left alone at home for whooping 5 days. So I decided to learn dropshipping and launch my first store in 5 days and see if I can make money with that. I did not do a lot of research on what to sell, as my goal was to learn the craft and how everything works. I managed to build, design and launch a fully working shop in just 5 days from scratch. ( I am a graphic designer and web developer, so that made it a little bit easier for me). Anyway, I think it is still worth trying, but do not expect to get rich fast as it is hard to craft. Especially if you are trying to dropship from china, that 20-day ePacket delivery just kills everything. IMO find a local supplier and try to build a store around them. Maybe you know someone who makes leather goods down in their basement? You can advertise their products and take a decent cut. People are buying 5$ items for 45$, so imagine what you could do with real leather goods or other high-quality items that some hidden people do in

Really unsure why this was moved to SE forum. This is not SE lol

dropshipping is too scummy for me. not something i'd ever really want to get into ngl lol

I've dropshipped counterfeit footwear before from China, works well. Dropship something nobody would expect to be fake, low cost range items, otherwise they'll get suspicious.

The only issue with drop shipping is the wait times and especially now with the crazy shit going on in china

Never tried it but I know so and so how it works. I think that the harder part is to find high quality traffic to redirect it to your site.

Horrible thing on Amazon. They asking for each product to have that special barcode, which is not that convenient to buy every time. I would not look into amazon for dropship.
