Is dropshipping ethical?

What is dropshipping ?

  • i dont really understand the process of dropshipping and who its meant for. im planning to sell my things on ebay.. just small stuff that i have at home. do i need to worry about dropshipping ?

  • Answer:

    Dropshipping is not what you're talking about if you are selling stuff that you have lying about your home. A dropshipper is someone who offers items for sale but who does not have the items on hand. Rather, a 3rd party has an inventory and the dropshipper has an arrangement with the 3rd party. So.... when the seller is paid, they notify and pay the dropshipper who then sends the item to the buyer, but labels it in such a way to make it appear that the dropshipper sent it out. The dropshipper is merely a middleman, generally making a small profit on each item, but avoids the costs of warehousing and the investment in the actual item sold.. Best of luck

Drop shipping From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in all retail businesses, the retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price.

Other retailers may provide only a catalogue or website. Retailers that drop ship merchandise from wholesalers may take measures to hide this fact to avoid any stigma, or to keep the wholesale source from becoming widely known. This can be effected by "blind shipping" (shipping merchandise without a return address), or "private label shipping" (having merchandise shipped from the wholesaler with a return address customized to the retailer). A customized packing slip may also be included by the wholesaler, indicating the retailer's company name, logo, and/or contact information.

Drop shipping means they will leave it at your door even if you are not home.
