If you are a experienced e-commerce professional, you have no doubt have heard of drop shipping. But if you are a newbie, you may not know that you can go into business on the web with no inventory! How can you accomplish this? You find drop ship supplier listings to send or ‘fulfill’ your orders on your behalf. You simply charge the customer - purchase the merchandise from your supplier, and they ship it to your client with your name on the paperwork.

All you need to do to start a drop shipping business is a web site, a method to take credit cards (PayPal is a good place to start), and a product to sell! There are many drop ship supplier directories on the internet. You need to be cautious, though about using these services. Some of them are simply outdated lists with incorrect or bogus information. Be careful when you purchase access to a directory of drop shippers.

The best drop shipping distributors directories show you the actual name and address of the supplier companies. That is what you want; avoid sites that say they also provide merchandise - they are most likely a middleman and you will pay too much for your products. Don’t use a middleman, you can’t to price your products at a competitive level.

The Internet has opened up a new world of business ideas to those who are not afraid to spend some of their time and money to learn the ropes. You don’t need a huge inventory of products to begin selling on the web. Drop shipping is an easy, low-cost way to get started.
