Internet Business Income - using dropshippers

The web is filled with a variety of ways of starting an online business and creating internet business income.

When you mention online business, I suspect that most people think of eBay. For people who simply want to try their hands at creating online income, eBay can be a great place to start. The potential disadvantage of eBay is the time spent looking for a potential item or items to sell, finding a source that will sell you a number of these items at a reasonable price. Once you find an item, you could have storage issues if the items you wish to sell are on the large side. Then there is the time and expense associated with packing and shipping your items.

Now for some people, this is all part of having a business (either online and bricks and mortar). Then there are other people who would prefer to avoid these activities.

For people in the second category, how can they continue to still create internet business income? In essence, it is possible to get other companies to deal with these activities.

Assuming that you would still like to sell items on eBay, then looking for dropshippers would be a possible option. These are companies that will fulfill the ordered item for you. For example, you would list an item that your dropshipper has available. When a customer purchases the item have you have listed on eBay, you would order the item from your dropshipper and furnish them with your customer's shipping details. They would ship the item to your eBay customer and bill you. The difference between the dropshipper's cost price and the price you sold it for on eBay is your internet business income!

Sounds like a ideal way of running a business, right? Well, yes and no. If the idea of dropshipping is of interest to you, you would be well advised to check out your potential dropshipping company throughly. Adding a third party into the transaction can cause some difficulties. For example, the item you have just sold may be on back-order. Any potential mistakes made by the dropshipping company (such as shipping delays or mistakes) will be reflected in YOUR eBay feedback.
