GTB is right resell is cheaper and you do have to fork out the money before investment but why not? Thats business and if you dont want to do business and fork out money ... no point.

Dropshipping is expensive because someone is sending single items rather and bulk and also its their time vs profit margin on just 1 item + handling fee.

Just get a credit card and do it from that

Drop shipping is dangerous as you are always relying on someone else to fulfill your orders.

Although the difference in profit margins can be minimal unless you are prepared to buy in bulk quantities and ship by container load. Buying 1PCS and drop shipping to the customer can even work out the same as buying 10PCS and then reselling them as sometimes the saving you make in sending them all together from supplier is wiped out with domestic postage.

In your opinion what profit is minimal? Give me an estimate of what a bad profit would be PER ITEM when dropshipping?
