The Drop Shipper Battle

 If you’re looking to seriously start a business online with eBay, it’s time to start thinking about how and where to source your products. It might seem like a simple process. Maybe Google up some keywords like “wholesale”, “drop shipper”, “how to get millions of items for free and sell them on eBay”… but, it’s not always that simple.

It’s fairly well known that it’s not a good idea to search for a supplier with a Google search. Often searches done in this manner end up with a lot of scams and a lot less money. Usually, scammers will try to sell you a “list of wholesalers”, which really turns out to be a worthless list of supposed manufacturers. So, when you search for wholesalers on Google, that’s what you’re going to get.

There are, however, sites that are developed as communities to help you find reliable sources for products and also help you utilize this information to make more money with your online business.

Two sites that will help you do this are:

World Wide Brands and SaleHoo

SaleHoo

SaleHoo boasts an overwhelming membership of over 30,000. This in itself is a great value. If you’ve ever been a member of an online group, one of its greatest assets is the information you learn from the experienced members. SaleHoo also claims to have a database of reliable suppliers for you to browse through, contact and hopefully build a business relationship with.

There a lot of different reviews of SaleHoo and they always seem to drift towards the negative, just to see what problems someone would have.  Even with the negative reviews the reality is product or service is only as good as how much effort you put into. If you are willing to put in an honest effort then SaleHoo is a good resource.

World Wide Brands

When you first visit World Wide Brands (also known as OneSource) website, there is one thing you’ll notice… no hype. That’s a good first sign when it comes to someone promoting their product to you. Chris Malta, the CEO and founder has quite a list of accomplishments and provides a lot of free content on how to start an Internet business to how to find products to sell on eBay.

Another great aspect of World Wide Brands is that it is recognized by the Better Business Bureau, is endorsed by Jim Griffith, who is the Dean of eBay University, host of the eBay Radio show and helped write “The Official eBay Bible”.

With credentials like these, it’s hard not to see what the more legitimate choice would be. World Wide Brands is an amazing resource even if you don’t join. You can download free eBooks, watch Videos and join their newsletter.
