Dropshipping Imported Goods from China - www.chinavasion.com

The chinese tend to have very cheap products, that sell like hotcakes on eBay. Check out Chinavastion.com, they have lots of products that you've probably seen around on eBay. They are cheap rip offs of iPod's and other brand name mp3 players. But they are still popular among people that just want to get a good deal on a decent player.

Mp3's sell really well on eBay, yet you have to face a lot of competition. If you sell on ebay price low, have a good sales page, and feature your auctions. The problem is with Chinavasion they don't have very good images of the products, which can really effect the sale. Do keep this FREE dropshipper in mind though.

One problem when importing goods from china is the fact that you, or the customer (always check) may have to pay import tax on items. You need to be aware of this and warn the customer. It is rare that you will get charged, although I did a few times with another company. If you do happen to get charged, ring the courier, and explain that you are dropshipping and it is not you that received the goods. This can be a real pain, so I always sell to the US now. The US have no import tax fees so you are completely safe to send over their. You will have to double check this with your supplier first.

So check out one of my personally recommended suppliers: Chinavastion.com

An Introduction to Free Paypal Dropshipping

Welcome to the Blog directory of the best, legitimate and FREE paypal Dropshippers.

Why should I use Paypal dropshippers?

Well, use PayPal a lot to sell my dropshipped items. When customers pay me into my paypal account, I like to instantly switch this money into my dropshippers account so they can send the item out on the same day. I don't like the hassle of transfering the paypal money on my credit card.

Why should I use FREE dropshippers?

To be honest, the free ones are the best ones. The free ones know their products will sell, so they make money from you selling the products. The dropshippers that have dodgy products that won't sell, charge a membership fee so they know they're going to make money!

Where can I find these dropshippers???

There is a lot of free drop shippers out their that are great, people tend to keep them secret though, if everyone started to it they would have too much competition. Often people sell dropshippers list, with website and contact details to good, legitimate and free dropshippers.

I actually emailed a small chinese retailer, that didn't actually dropship. Infact they had never even heard of drop shipping, and I asked them whether I could dropship their products. I built a firm business relationship with this company, and sold many of their products. I think I'm the only dropshipper they have, they have still not introduced a dropshipping service. It pays sometimes to ask retailers that have cheap products, if they will dropship.

I will be posting links to dropshippers I personally reccomend, but if you don't want to use them, and have trouble finding any, I highly recommend these dropship directories:

Aid & Trade - Online directory of legitimate, genuine and reliable dropshippers and wholesale dropship products in UK, USA, Canada and other regions of the world.

Dropship Source Directory - 3000 + Dropshippers, all in one place.


How much money can I make dropshipping?

Depends how much work you want to put in marketing the products. Ebay's a good start to sell the items. I was making around $100 a week selling PSP's alone on eBay. That is my most successful product, and it had the most competition. I was very careful with my marketing strategies, featuring my auctions and choosing very good keywords. I think you should aim to sell both niche and mass market products, see which one works best for you. Don't put your prices to high, aim to make an extra 10% on each product you sell. I think dropshipping can be a great EXTRA income, like it was for me, but can easily become a full time income.
