baw 4,360 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 what happens when someone orders a load gear an then cancels it baw That's a tricky one mate. You got to check return policies from the manufacturer/drop shipper. Some only take back if faulty. Got to do a lot of homework. Some of them like to dictate the price you can sell the stuff at, some want to take over your site and use you as a mere additional selling platform and pay you peanuts. I've one really good one which I'm gonna use, I've bought stuff off them, checked them out etc and its genuine. They are out there if you can be arsed to look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Drop shipping while sounding good, relies on your partner to deliver on time, which from the drop shippers I have seen on ebay does not happen.that often. There are a lot of firms in the channel islands that do drop shipping, dvd sets etc, but their partners get all the flack when wrong items are sent or non deliveries etc. TC With eBay you get to set the estimated delivery time. All you do is estimate it to 5 days if the drop shipper says 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
