FReepers are great when it comes to opinions so I thought I would ask all of you some questions.
My husband lost his job a few months ago and I lost my job over the summer.
We have been contemplating trying to sell items on-line and at times the thought of using a "drop-ship" company has come up.
Do any of you have experience with drop-ship companies?
We have read so many reviews and the reviews are so varied. It is not always easy to tell if reviews are written by people working for those companies or if it is a legitimate person with a real experience.

Good info...but a bit incomplete.
Pray tell, what does sell well for you? Do you do a large'ish volume and are you profitable at your ebay selling?
It took me a bit over a year but I have made power seller so yes it is profitable. It is very important to understand the fees before you list things so that you don’t have a surprise on the backend of the deal.
I have 2 stores. I sell high end makeup and skin care products, purses& misc in one store. In the other natural perfume oils such as patchouli,musk, florals, herbal scents designer copycats etc. I am about to get a website for the oils because of the ebay fees and I want to kick up the volume.
Business has slowed down recently so I am hitting garage sales to look for designer handbags and old unique items that may have collector appeal.
I also sell things for people. I have several boxes of records I’m about to start on for a friend. I am hoping there is just 1 in there that would get high dollar.
Collectible things are good to sell as well as anything consumable such as perfume, makeup. Designer items usually do well.
I work part time but a full time income is attainable on the items I sell.
Great info. Thanks.
If you can type well start doing transcription from home.
The forum for work at home moms (and others) has quite a few leads on jobs available for working from home. They also have lists of the shady companies to avoid.
You can find jobs in the “job listings” area posted by companies, but also find many others posted on the message boards.
