Andrew asked:
Do you still have to buy in bulk and the wholesaler just stores it for you? Why would you receive a wholesale price if you don’t buy bulk? What stops anyone from just buying wholesale?

You have to buy in bulk. Anybody advertising it as wholesale that is not in bulk is lying. If Tom owns a large company that purchases $100,000 worth of items from Jack, Jack isnt going to make Tom mad and sell any less than $100,000 to anybody. Tom and Jack have an exclusive agreement that Jack cant sell to someone for less than what Tom is bringing to the table because Tom doesnt want any competitors out there, so he works out this deal with Jack. There are a few sites and sources listed at buy-in-bulk.com, but if you want to set up dropshipping and really get the best prices, you have to approach the companies personally with an agreement like what Tom and Jack have and with a large sum of money to make the first 2 or 3 purchases. I was going through a company called Golden Gain in Taiwan. I didnt need to create an exclusive agreement, but the minimum they would sell them to me for was a purchase of at least $3000 or more each time.
I don’t suggest using droppshipping because I have an ebay account, and many others and I’m a power seller. I used droppshipping for years and its not worth it. They don’t make the prices low enough for you to make any profit and sometimes you have to watch for fake items, or replicas. There really is to much to worry about with droppshipping. I got an ebook awhile back but I have lost half the pages to it because my computer crashed and it wouldn’t make sense to send you half of it. i provided the link for you if you want to purchase it..it may have a money back but not sure. i have many friends who have stores on ebay that use this same method and you make more profit this way. hope it helps.
