Operation DropShip - Things You Might Not Know About

Operation DropShip is another of the eCommerce sites that have popped up in the past couple of years. The design and role is familiar to any of those who have visited any of its rivals.

The basic premise is that an individual can sell any of the hundred and fifty thousand products on offer from their warehouse, without buy the items themselves. The idea is that these items can be brought at wholesale price and then sold on for any price that the individual can get for them.

I have had some hit and miss success with Operation DropShip. Only a couple of things which annoy me. Firstly whilst there are 150000 items to choose from a third of these are software items that I have no interest in. Looking at the computers and electrical goods I am interested in, there are only about 10000 items.

Second annoyance is that Operation DropShip only delivers to North America, and that excludes certain sections of my normal customers.

Ignoring the downsides Operation DropShip is decent enough, and offers a free 30 day trial, although the monthly fees are $30 plus additional fees.

For listing their items in your auction, the theory is pretty sound. An item is listed and either it sells or it doesn’t if it doesn’t sell then all you have lost is the price of listing an item, as you haven’t actually purchased anything from DropShop.

Just make sure that items are in stock as you are listing them otherwise problems can occur when you have a successful sale. There are tracking tools available from Operation DropShop that makes it easier.

Overall a decent enough wholesaler, there is nothing worryingly bad about Operation DropShip.
