When starting a dropshipping business, a Dropship Source Directory is key. Finding a good supplier is by far the most important part of the puzzle..and also the hardest. Using a Directory is really the only way to compare and analyze who is out there. As long as you have a good supplier, with good pictures, descriptions and pricing, the rest will fall into place (granted you know HOW to market). Here we will briefly describe each supplier in our Dropship Source Directory, and the pros and cons of each.
Doba
Doba® is one the largest wholesale supplier/dropshipping company on the web! They provide their retailers with over 1,200,000 products from hundreds of suppliers to promote, sell and profit from. In addition to providing a one-stop shop for products to drop ship, they also provide services such as advanced tools, data export, Push to Marketplace (eBay integration), intricate training and learning materials. They offer professional, quality product pictures, detailed descriptions, guarenteed lowest wholesale prices, and have everything on their site in stock about 90% of the time.
One Source
One Source (a.k.a. Worldwide Brands is by far the largest dropship source directory in the world! With their lifetime membership (a one time fee), you get access to over 3,000,000 million wholesale products from more than 9,000 suppliers worldwide! One tremendously helpful feature One Source offers is the market research tool, which will actually analyze the product(s) you are searching for in their directory, and tell you the profitability of that product.
Dropshipping Wholesalers
Dropshipping Wholesalers is an exclusive membership site, which gives access to over 500,000 products. Not to mention 10 ultra secret Chinese wholesalers, and over 600 of the worlds best wholesale dropshippers. With this directory you are granted lifetime access to all of their resources, and do not have to worry about "everyone else on the web" having the exact same information. This is because they are only offering this as a limited time offer. You will also have access to eBay ad wizard, and many other great features.
Simplx
Simplx, like Doba® offers you a one stop shop at the cost of a monthly fee. They currently have over 60,000,000 products, eBay integration, up to 95% off retail prices and millions of name brand products. All of the drop ship products they offer, are brand new and have manufacturers warranties. Unlike Doba and One Source, Simplx has a screening process before they will accept new marketers to use their products. Once you go to their site, and fill out the application, they then ask for your credit card information....which causes many people to lose interest. This is the only major dropship source directory/supplier that asks for an application fee ($20). This fee is non-refundable, so whether or not they grant you access, they still pocket your $20. There are many pro's and con's to that system. First of all, it does elliminate competition, because most people aren't willing to invest even $20 into their business....which is not very much money when you consider starting a traditional, brick and morter business. And as they state on their site, they do this to elliminate market saturation on sites such as eBay.
