Ummm, what's the best way to say this?

Go F yourself.

Your counterfeit page is really funny though. Buy counterfeit and you're supporting terrorism on American soil? Jesus, how in the hell can you draw that conclusion? Oh wait your customers are typically 1 tooth, redneck hillbillies sitting at home all day drawing Government disability and watching Fox News when not viewing your infomercials or shopping on eBay. Easy crowd to convince of just about anything.

Take your BS somewhere else. I will give you one good piece of advice; focus on counterfeiting and that is what you'll reap. Businesses that focus so much on counterfeiting and preserving their trademark are usually the BIGGEST thieves. Investigate Microsoft's history and dig into how many times they've created JVs only to steal the software code and were later sued for the theft being forced to repay the creator. It's happened so many times and swept under the rug by millions of dollars. That is why Microsoft is so hell-bent on any one stealing their code. Thieves worry sick about thieves. Honest people don't worry about criminals. I don't know where you got your ideas and copyrights but your actions tell me you stole them. You worry like Bill Gates, a thief.
 
I'd like to buy a turnkey website selling fragrances, but I don't know where to start. Any good drop-shippers and turnkey solution together in this business?
 
So, I've been dropshipping for a while, and what I'm wondering now is....what's the best way to find the Chinese suppliers of the dropshipping company I'm going through? You know, cutting out the middleman. I've fiddled around on google with minimal results. Is there some sort of nice fat list of Chinese manufactures somewhere that I've missed?
 
Check out doba.com, alibaba.com and movies4wholesale.com.

I have worked with all three companies. You have to watch out with alibaba, its like the myspace of the wholesale world. Doba is a trusted resource, yet the profit is marginal. Movies4wholesale will make you the most money if you can sell movies and softwares.

Can you or anybody who had experience with Doba tell me what can be realistically made if you put 20hrs a week into it? What is their pricing like generally?

To be honest, if you are planning to go that serious, might as well go take a trip to China and take a visit yourself. I believe thats the most practical and safest approach.

I agree. Book a room and you'll see catalogs on the lobbies table where you can browse thousands of items from hundreds of companies...

Some have cited alibaba.com. When I got scammed about $1200 back in 2004 or 2005 from a company there, I have contacted 2000 companies listed on alibaba.com. I made a list on a site but lost the site and couldn't redo it. From the 2000 companies, 2000 were bogus!!!!! I had a 100% of bogus/fake name/people/companies ready to get the money first and most probably not having a single items!!
So, just stay away from alibaba.com and the 40,000 thieves:p
 
yeah, Alibaba seems to be 99% scammers at least. But are there any other similar places where you actually get the items and can get some cheap ipad,iphone clones ect. ?

also since it's pretty much impossible to import stuff here from china, I am looking to setup a forward adresse in the uk, anyone know a good place to find some info on how to do that?

Dude... code tags... :rolleyes:
 
alibaba, trade key, search (product) paypal after you register and you'll find the 100% legit guys because they accept paypal which is almost impossible to use if your trying to rip someone off
 
do you mean your own physical shop? As opposed to online?

See my problem online these days....I work hard,long, sweat and tears...yes I make good profit but I see offline biz making 2X as much with half as much effort.

The secret to this entire issue is to find people who have dealt, or deal with the Chinese market on a daily bases... I am an importer, and what I do is find people the product they want straight from the manufacturer. Dropshipping is no longer a good option on eBay or Amazon. With 21 day holds on PayPal and 14 day holds on new accounts with Amazon, dropshipping is a pure risk.

I recommend wholesale, and if you don't have money to start a business with a physical product, invest more time into figuring out how to bring in more money for inventory. eBay is not as easy as it seems, and you might think it is easier due to the low overhead! Not true, I spent more time on my eBay auctions than I ever did with my local stores. To be quite honest, I made much more money importing my products directly than dealing with any of the stupid dropshippers.
 
I have a list of merchandise that can be dropped-shipped timely to your Ebay/Amazon customers with 20% profit-taking off the top for each item all day long. Interested? PM me.
 
so from what i've read,
its possible for me to post items on amazon/ebay that i havent bought,
wait until somebody buys the item from me,
and THEN i buy it from a chinese wholesaler and have it dropshipped?

You can BUT you need to be careful with possible neg feedback due to lengthy delivery times etc. What has worked for me:

As soon as China supplier sends you shipping confirmation and tracking data send polite email to customer explaining that product is out of stock in your country but HAS already been shipped to them DIRECTLY from manufacturer (that way it's less likely that they will try to cancel order) and provide them with tracking details. Most China suppliers are more than happy to mark items as 'gift'. Small items shouldn't attract too much attention from customs so all things being equal the goods should reach your customer somewhere between 7 - 10 days from the time of order. If you can get the customer onside early on then you're pretty much guaranteed pos f/b.

Hi everyone. I've been spending a lot of time researching dropshipping. I keep running into a dilemma though. I may just be chicken but the most commonly available products seem to be replicas. I've seen them for sell all over the net but I can't help but ask the question of whether or not this is legal?

If not, then do you think that maybe its okay as long as you don't say that they are authentic? I hate to be one of the only people missing out on this but I'd hate to go to prison also.:p

I hear you loud and clear brother! I dont want the FEDS coming after me either. Just make sure the drop-ship company is legitimate. The last thing I want to do is get my Amazon account suspended.
