Dropshipland.com does make all the de rigueur
promises — an easy-to-use business model that will make you an eBay star. However,
there are several things working against such assumptions. First, dropshipland.com
has generated an unusually large number of adverse comments and controversies; mostly
related to controversies. Buyers claim, this site cheats people, and does so in
many ways.
False
Reviews
Positive reviews on Dropshipland.com
are rarely to be trusted and most users dismiss them as false. This site has
been known to publish glowing tributes to itself. This is perhaps one of the
main reasons why resellers do not trust the site.
When you know that a site is indulging
in something low, such as blowing its own trumpet by pretending to be a buyer, you
have plenty of reasons to mistrust the site. You could not care less if they
offer discounts, or big promises. You know that trusting such wholesale sites
could damage your business.
Dropshipping
Troubles
Dropshipland.com promises to make
dropshipping work for your business. You
find customers, notify Dropship Land, and they will send the product over to
the customer. Well, sounds good, until you begin to realize that the site does
not really work as promised.
First, looking for customers is not all
that easy and you need to have some marketing ideas before you can find your
first buyer. Dropshipland’s promise of going into business the same day does
not, therefore, make much sense.
No
Products worth Mentioning
You can sell products only if the products
are of high quality and useful. One of the reasons buyers avoid Dropshipland is
because of their poor quality products. While the site claims to know what eBay
vendors need, this does not seem to be true going by the inventory. The site
does not even feature a sample inventory you can look at before you decide to
sign up. You just go in there blind, trusting fate to throw up some miracle so
you can find the right product.
Unfortunately, it would indeed be a
miracle if you could ever find a single profitable product on this site. Dropshipland’s
reluctance to even let you peek into their inventory is the first sign that
they have a lot to hide. Once you pay the fee, there is not much you can do
about it.
Peanuts
for Profit
What determines the profitability of
an e-store is the difference between the input and output. If you invest $10 in
a product and sell it for $12, you make a profit of $2. However, if you buy a
product from a middleman at $10 and he charges another $1 as commission, your
profit is only $1.
Why exactly are we talking of
middlemen here? Because that’s exactly what dropshipland.com is. It is not a
wholesale supplier per se. It sources products from suppliers and sells them to
resellers, and also charges a commission on each deal. No wonder, buyers are
left feeling bitter — they know that they should be earning a lot more but they
cannot do much about it.
Dropshipland.com is indeed a site to
avoid if you want to build a successful e-tailing business.
