Drop Ship To Family Health by: David Maddern Everyone knows that bringing up children is expensive. It is also well known that a lot of business is conducted over the internet. Parents often get onto the net in the evening, and there is now heaps of scope to join in this commerce. In fact it may well be a way to excite teenagers to an exciting family dynamic. Let me explain. Drop shipping is a term that applies to a supplier having agents who obtain orders for the supplier to fulfil. As an example I might set up an eBay auction page say binoculars for starting price $1. I set my reserve at wholesale + $2 (unresearched amount to cover Bay fee and Paypal fees) As an auction comes to its time, perhaps the final price is 60% higher than the wholesale. I get the funds from the buyers, which is price +shipping and send the order with details to the supplier. The supplier delivers the binoculars and bills me for the wholesale + shipping. I send off the money to the supplier. Note all my communications with the supplier are by email and money transfer through Paypal transactions over the net. The result is here 60% or the wholesale figure times the number of buyers, and all I have out-layed a few dollars for eBay and deducted Paypal fees. No big out of pocket expenses at all. Now that is a model. There is far,far more than binoculars and I can give you links to over '700
