How did you find out the Drop Shippers you use were good ones? Did you have to try them first and take a chance?
I have never used one before, but have found a new line I would like to try. I haven't started yet, because I don't know much about drop shipping and can't afford to lose much money. I thought I would try selling some under my buying ID that has a low FB just in case.
The drop shipping charge is $1.25 per order. They state that orders will be shipped out that day or the next day. The thing that trows me is PayPal. They have had their account shut down. The reason they give doesn't hold water to me, but I am not an expert on PayPal either. And PayPal has been accused of some ridiculous things before.
I would appreciate any advise you and Ralphie can give.

PLUS: there is NO reason on earth for ANY "drop-shipping charge," other than to stick it to ya for an extra $1.25 -- they SHOULD be delighted to have YOUR business, NOT the other way around...
Basically, I stumbled upon mine
Then, I just started contacting different companies directly, asking if they want Ralphie & I as representatives? The worse they can do is JUST say "NO!"
Plus, I get contacted at least once a month now by the HIGH (good companies) and the LOW (purveyors of MONKEY-PORN), and tis fun now to pick-&-choose!

a dropshipper's paypal account has been shut down by paypal.
This usually means many of their customers have filed complaint with paypal and/or filed chargeback with their cc issuers.
The most common reasons why their customers filed complaints is that they cannot ship the goods !
There is nothing wrong with a $1.25 surcharge for dropshipping as retail sales is more tedious and laborious than wholesale.

The PayPal thing is what is bothering me. Their excuse was lame in my opinion. They said PayPal didn't like what they were selling. I wouldn't think PayPal would care as long as it wasn't illegal. They are only interested in their share of the take.

I seem to remember that when PP was bought by feeBay, they DID change all their rules & threw out a whole bunch of categories that they will accept moola for...

They are probably selling shady stuff such as porn or goods/services which are downloadable .
online casino gambling is a no no with paypal.
Anyway,they must have merchant account and accept credit card direct,paypal is more of a convenience for buyers.
