Just wanting to start a home business & don't know where to start ? interested in drop shipping ?

You need to do your own research to find suppliers after you have decided what you want to sell.

As for dropshipping.....if you value you ebay reputation forget about dropshipping.  It can work for some, but there are also a lot of problems.

Yeah we looked into drop shipping when we were first starting out and after reading about the pitfalls we pretty quickly dropped that idea.

Invest in your own stock. You have the control this way.

in the years since you last sold on eBay much has changed.

start out with a sall inventory do not buy up big and then find there is no market for the itms you think you can sell.

there are millions of sellers on ebay world wide and each trying to make a buck, it is not easy.  it is harder now than it was 2 - 4 - 6 or 10 years ago. new rules, new buyers expectations, higher postal fees (and they rise again in a week or 2)

more ebay fees for some selling, make sure you know all about that before beginning.

goodluck
