Fly-by-Night Dropshipping Directories..?
Anyone else curious (yes, we really don’t understand) where Terry Gibbs’ Ultimate eBay Dropship Power Pak went to? Last we had heard, it was a available on his website and elsewhere around the web for $67. It seemed to get a lot of traction online, but I’ll have to admit that I have virtually no experience with dropshipping products of this nature.
Now it seems Mr. Gibbs has joined the SaleSooSucks people. These guys have a conspiracy theorists’ view of SaleHoo. Wow.
..guess the moral of the story is – do business with those who are most likely to stick around, especially when it comes to dropshipping directories, which must be constantly maintained in order to ensure their accuracy.
Additionally, although we do live in a world that seems to be *disconnected* by the web, consider how much more *connected* it has made us in many ways. Inquire as to who a potential vendor of yours may or should be collaborating with.
Chinavasion Achieves Top Dropshipping Honors
In response to those of you (ok, us) who believe that dropshipping from the Far East is difficult – or impossible, Chinavasion announced today that it has achieved a never-before-thought-possible milestone in the realm of international dropshipping.
The company now dropships, on average, over 80% of its wholesale electronics order – many to US eBay customers – in the same business day. The company further asserts that most dropship orders arrive to their final destination within four to five business days.
Is this the start of a truly global dropshipping retail marketplace? We’ll see, but things certainly seem headed in that direction.

Those of you interested in dropshipping electronics may be interested to note that Chinavasion does not appear to have relationships with any brand name electronics manufacturers – like Apple, Sony, Toshiba, HP, Acer, etc. – these are generic electronics products. Finding a market for unbranded electronics online could be a challenging one, but it presents an opportunity for someone with the right vision.
