Why is it so, are dropshippers scared of something? Rhea Bontol on 20 Dec Ideally, most of our members source and deal with dropship suppliers directly, and not on Amazon. Prices on Amazon are retail prices which leaves you to little or less profit when you re-sell their products. Formality wise, it's always best to create a good business relationship with your dropship supplier.
Also, Amazon does not allow shipping to addresses that do not coincide to your registered Amazon address for safety reason scammers do this method sometimes , so it could be an issue.

Rhea Bontol on 18 Feb Hi Caesar! Basically, SaleHoo provides our members with trusted suppliers - a directory of verified suppliers in the essence.
You can sell our suppliers' products on eBay with their approval. They normally ask for certain requirements before you can start and usually when you're dropshipping, the suppliers will provide you with their catalog complete with images and product descriptions so you can start listing their items for sale. All fees paid or payable in relation to listings or accounts on which we take any action will not be refunded or otherwise credited to your account.
From sending through the post to arranging a local collection, there are many ways to send items to your buyers. By offering more than one delivery option, you'll be able to attract different types of buyers. For buyers, knowing when they can expect an item to arrive is an important factor when making a purchase. That's why we always show an estimated delivery date on eBay listings.
