If anyone can clarify this, please let me know. When I had the idea to start my own business selling products online, I thought drop shipping would be a good start. Since researching several drop shippers here on Salehoo, I really don't see how to make any money with it. When I find a product I would like to sell, I check Ebay and do some research. I either find a ton of listings for what I want to sell, completed listings showing that few of the items have sold, or the asking price of other auctions is lower than what I can get the same item for from the drop shipper. Because of this, I haven't even tried to sell anything yet.
I don't have the space or money available to buy direct from a wholesaler. I also didn't want to focus on any particular item to sell yet until I got a better idea as to what sold well (another reason why I thought drop selling would be a good way to start). As far as deciding on a niche, I have no idea. What am I missing?
