Is dropshipping the way ebay is going?

I am a powerseller on ebay and I use drop shippers most of the time plus I also buy in bulk from wholesalers and hold stock. I have accumulated about 200 wholesale websites I search through and I have found a few good ones out of that, plus I have about 100 drop shippers I sometimes use as well. If you are a seller on ebay, do you think you make more money by buying in bulk at a wholesale price or using drop shippers?

I think that it does help you to make better money if you can sell like this. I don't know anything about drop shipping but I would like to get involved with some and be able to sell more items other than just what I have at home. I do occasionally buy things in bulk and it does help to make more money.

Hi Carol, If you want to drop ship, I do have a link on my profile that would get you started, worldwide. I just love ebay, I work 7 days a week on ebay, lucky I love doing it. What sort of items do you sell on ebay and what country are you from?

Hi Missdaisy, I have tried dropshipping but only with one company and did find it was very good on a smaller site I used but on Ebay there were so many others and to make the price competitive cut into any profit really so I found having something unique was better for me and failed miserably with buying in bulk and trying that way.
