Business Models using wholesale drop ship companies

Drop Shipping would be good for an online ecommerce store. Do your math before offering any product and evaluate competition. However, as long as you get traffic to your online store, you don't have to be as price sensitive as you would be if selling on ebay or amazon.

ebay is very price sensitive. Using drop shipping for selling on ebay may not prove profitable. The same is true for Amazon. Although Amazon is not quite as price sensitive, once you add on the cost of their fees, you may not have enough profit to make it worthwhile.

This is also a perfect way to test products, to see how well they sell before investing in buying bulk.
