Have you been searching for a reliable electronics drop shipping company that will send products to your eBay customers addresses on time for the best price pos

I'm willing to bet it has been a long, hard & fruitless journey huh?

Here is a little secret that most merchants, auctioneers, and eBay sellers will neglect to tell you...actually they aren't going to tell you. They will actually steer you in the wrong direction to protect this secret. Want to know what it is?

Ok, I'll tell you... They will never tell you who THEIR supplier is. Why in the world would they? I see this all the time, poor helpless souls looking to and through the countless forums, blogs, and website out there trying to find out where those powersellers get their cheap gadgets and electronics from. They seem to be raking in sale after sale, sometimes 15 or 30 per day!

It just isn't fair, you have been looking and building your site the same as them, but it just isn't happening fast enough or the way you imagined it would. All of the wholesale dropship companies seem to have a MOQ (minimum order quantity) and you don't have that kind of cash to buy from them. (makes the sad face).

Then...voila! You finally find some company in China that seems to be it. "I've found it.... I've found it", you scream. It has all the bells and whistles, name brand looking electronics, Apple Mac Books & iPhones as far as the eye can see and CHEAP, CHEAP PRICES!!!


You decide to inquire, because after all nobody on the net sells iPhones for $250.00. "I'll make a killing", you say.

Too bad the scamming S.O.B. on the other side of the world has created that snazzy looking website trap just for you to step in. He counted on you to fall for the glitz, flash, and cheap allure of name brand products, and you did.

Someone named Mary, Joan, or Maggie contacts you back on IM messenger or whatever BS messenger service they use to look authentic. She sends you a "list" of products and "prices"that would make Steve Jobs say, "Holy Cheap Prices Batman!" You feel like you are now part of the "in crowd" and proceed to order 5 iPhones to sell on your eBay account that has had a nice feedback rating for years.


You proceed to sell all of them for a total of $3,250.00 at $650.00 buck a pop.....Then.........

Your Dreams....................SHATTERED!

You are in the hole and your bank account is negative...and that S.O.B. is on the other side of the E.A.R.T.H. (yes acronym, because when it happens, it feels like A.L.I.E.N.S are invading the planet).

Is yucking it up in some back hills shack drinking wine...with your hard earned $3,250.00, which by the way will last him a long while, since that is like 2 years salary.

More Reliable Dropship Advice


How did this happen? How could this happen?

"I paid him by Western Union", (first mistake), you have no way of getting your money back.

"He had great testimonials on his site and legitimate looking postal tracking numbers". (Second mistake) These are almost always are bogus.

Bottom line your BUSINESS HAS BEEN DESTROYED.

Don't feel bad though, it happens all the time. All day, everyday...And guess what else?

The scam website has been shut down by the creator, because it got too hot and now has a bad reputation. He made tens of thousands of dollars. Even though he's a little bummed he had to close up shop. But don't worry this S.O.B. is very quick and extremely proficient with SEO, HTML & XML. He will have a new website up and running within 2 to 3 days.

A quick visit to GoDaddy for a new domain name and he's back in business.

This is a sad story indeed, one that repeats itself over and over again.

This is a sad story indeed, one that repeats itself over and over again.

BUT STILL HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!!!

That's easy...he didn't send real Apple iPhones to your customers, although on the site it said "Authentic". (for some reason overseas scammers love to use this word). Why not? Simple you cannot get American branded goods in China.

***Without getting into the metrics, simply put the product would be devalued***

To a lot of overseas merchants fake, cheap, knockoffs are just as good as the real item to them.

If you want to sell the HOT & SEXY items like iPhones, iPods, & iPads do not waste your time. You don't have enough money (over $110,000 to play as an Authorized Retailer) to get into that game. Plus it has already been overrun with competition who will squeeze you out if you get the nerve to try.

Find an electronics niche you can actually make money in, there are thousands of them.
