Dropship Site

  1. One time fee and they host your website. No monthly fee. No transaction fees.
  2. Dropshipdesign.com sets up the website in terms of providing photos for the merchandise and a guide for pricing. They set the price for your customer but you can change that if you think they set the price too high for your customers
  3. If someone buys something directly through your website they deal with the transaction and the customer if they have problems.
  4. If you sell through Ebay, you log into your website and purchase the item and indicate that you need the item sent directly to the customer and provide the address.
  5. They accept Paypal and credit cards from you and your customers.
  6. I bought my domain name from godaddy.com but you don't have to do that. They'll give you one that's something like dropshipdesign.yourcompany.com
  7. One thing I don't like is that you have to pay a small monthly fee (I think $3 to get customer support via telephone) otherwise you can email them with questions. So far I've just used the email route. Like I've said I want to make no further investment.
  8. You will have to make a concerted effort to advertise your site. You can't just set it up and hope for sales. I have only gotten sales at Ebay and I'm now trying different routes to promote my site. I won't lie... it's challenging.
  9. There is a lot to think about when you commit to owning a website.
Let me know if you have any questions on this. I might be able to help.


  • Another option is to use keywords Dropship Free on google.com search to find others. I'm going to post another great site as soon as I get my affiliate account set up so check back or subscribe to my blog to find out what that one is.
  • I'll have to try and think of others I've used....

  2. It's not as perfect as it would be to have my own merchandise, but the investment and risk would be too great for me. This way I can offer much more in my store than I would otherwise.

  3. May I ask what you pay for the following product with dropshipdesign.com:

    FERRARI BLACK BY FERRARI (EAU DE TOILETTE SPRAY 4.2 OZ)

    I'm curious if dropshipdesign.com's prices are better than the ones of my supplier. I'm paying $21.93.

    Thanks
