Drop Shipping

I have recently purchased a Cellphone Case on eBay for my friend I had a conversation with the seller, he told me he was from India and that the phone case would ship from South Korea. I was interested how this was possible, so I did some research on the internet, and I found some scams associated with Drop Shipping.

Dropping Shipping is a retail technique that some online sellers use, typically seen on eBay and small business websites. The basic idea is that the store does not carry any inventory. When someone orders a product from the retailer, the seller get a manufacturer or wholesaler to send out the purchased good to the customer.
The money is made from the difference of the retail price and the wholesale price and possible commissions.

What I encountered were websites that supposedly sell you a list with contacts to drop shipping companies.
People that have no clue how to start off a business using Drop Shipping usually fall victim.

The list usually sends the victims to a middle man between them and a REAL Drop Shipping company. They are offered products at upraised prices and leave the victims with very little to no profit and all, and they charge fees to have access to their horrendous middle man services.

Drop shipping is a real way to make money, but beware of these quick money scams. Anyone asking for a service fee is no doubt a middle man. Finding a Drop Shipping company takes time and effort, why would they choose you out of all the people on the internet? Show that you have interest, you have what it takes, and that you have something to offer to their company.
