Hi! I am looking for Chinese platforms for sourcing products. It is okay if it is completely Chinese as well, but it is important that they provide link/API for dropshipping. Do you know any? Thanks in advance!
Hi! I’m currently a SAHM to 2 toddlers and trying my best to figure out this whole dropshipping thing to help support my family!
I’m honestly pretty clueless haha
One girl that keeps popping up on my tik tok FYP says she finds a product there and uses “Pageapilot.AI” to create everything for her. Does anyone have experience using that? If you use something else, what is it?
If I want to keep all of this private and not share on my personal socials, do I just make separate accounts on various platforms for my ‘niche’ and advertise there?
I’m here for all the advice and insight haha
I’ve tried this soo many times over the past few years and I really need this to work this time. I’m here to learn!!!
Hey everyone,
I’ve spent a lot of time in e-commerce communities, reading discussions and talking to people. One thing kept coming up: how much money goes into testing ads just to figure out which creatives, hooks, and copy actually work.
That’s what led me to build Baldur Studio. A lot of what I’ve learned from these communities about ad testing, audiences, and common frustrations has shaped the tool.
The idea is simple: get feedback on your ad from AI personas before putting real budget behind it. You choose a target audience, submit your ad draft, and get simulated reactions to it. The goal is to help you spot weak hooks, confusing messaging, and potential objections before launching.
To be clear: these aren’t real customer responses, and the tool doesn’t guarantee performance. It’s not meant to replace live testing, it’s meant to help you catch obvious weaknesses and go into those tests with better hypotheses.
I’m looking for honest feedback from people who create or run ads for e-commerce brands. Would this be useful in your process? What would you need to see in the feedback for it to actually help you make decisions?
You can try it for free here:

If you need more usage than the free allowance includes, DM me and I’m happy to give you some extra usage to test it out.
Critical feedback is very welcome. An honest “I wouldn’t use this because…” is much more helpful to me than a polite “looks good.”
Hey everyone!
I'm completely new to dropshipping and looking to get started with a budget of around €400. I'm based in France, so I'd also appreciate any advice specific to selling in Europe.
I want to focus on organic dropshipping through TikTok, without paid ads. However, I don't want to show my face or film product videos myself, as I'm not particularly good at creating product content.
I've seen several posts recommending using the Meta Ads Library to find trending products, looking at the videos other sellers use, and then creating similar content to post on TikTok. But I'm struggling to figure out where to actually find these videos and how to use them properly.
I'd really appreciate your advice on a few things:
I'd be grateful for any tips, resources, or personal experiences you could share. I'm trying to learn as much as possible before spending my money, since my budget is quite limited.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
I started my journey about 2 weeks ago and since then I’ve learned a lot. I’ve gotten a little more traffic, roughly 20 people a day which idk for a beginner just starting out i feel like that’s pretty decent. I just need tips on how to make that improve and how I can get my first sale. I’ve done SEO, and listened to lots of podcasts and I try to make it a goal to research one new topic everyday. I just can’t seem to get anyone to add to my cart. What’s the issue?
I’ve found a China-based fulfilment company quoting $4 per order to the UK, with 6–8 working day delivery.
The product is small and lightweight. They’ve told me the $4 is fully inclusive/DDP, including shipping, customs clearance, import charges and VAT handling.
Does this sound realistic, or too good to be true?
For anyone using China fulfilment:
Is $4 genuinely possible all-in?
Is 6–8 working days realistic?
Are there any hidden fees I should specifically ask about?
Would really appreciate opinions from people with experience.
Hey everyone,
A bit of background: I lived in China from 2014 to 2019, speak Chinese, and worked across different industries before owning a company specializing in import/export mainly home appliances. During that time, I was also running local e-com using the COD model and doing quite well
Last month I visited China again, and it got me seriously thinking about going back and starting a dropshipping business targeting the "Big 4" (US,UK,CA,AU) + Western EU and the Nordics
My rough plan: since I'm already familiar with the Chinese ecosystem, I'd base myself in southern China (close to Hong Kong) and set up a company there in HK which would give me access to a wide range of payment gateways
So my question is: is this plan still viable/worth it in 2026–2027?
I'd really appreciate insights from people with hands-on experience,
Hi everyone, I’d like to start selling on eBay through dropshipping. I already work with a supplier that has a very large catalogue, handles the logistics directly, and offers 24–48 hour delivery. They can also offer cash on delivery, although I’m not planning to use it to avoid unnecessary complications.
Because of this, I don’t generate shipping labels when an order comes in — the entire logistics and fulfilment process is handled by the supplier.
If you were in my position and had to start from zero today, what strategy would you follow?
I’m particularly interested in the real experience of people who have been doing this consistently for a while: what worked, what didn’t, and what mistakes would you avoid from the beginning.
What shipping method would you use?
Which niches/products would you focus on for eBay buyers?
And what strategy would you follow over the next 30 days to start getting your first sales?
Thanks in advance for the help!
So I have started my second dropshipping store after facing failure in my first dropshipping store. So my first dropshipping store was also one product store just like the second one but the categories are different. I spended $300 on meta ads for my first dropshipping store and just got 2 sales totalling my net revenue of just $60 as I have added each and every element on store from shipping times to reviews and testimonials not only that I have also tested more than 15 distinct creatives assuming that something will work as I was pretty sure about selling that product. But after spending $300 on meta ads and just $60 revenue i.e.( 2 sales) for 1.5 months I thought this is not gonna work and I'm just burning my money so I decided to close the store. Now after few weeks I've again started a new store with a single product(different from previous product) I've buildup everything myself and also started running meta ads from past 2 days, and after spending 20$ result is zero sale. Now before even spending any dollar more, I want to know how will I know that I should try testing more in case if product works and turned out to be good selling product, In otherr words does this dropshipping actually works? If yes then how you find the dropshipping product and build business because now I'm feeling very low after loosing money on meta and Shopify and seeing nothing in return. Also I need your suggestions regarding how can I move forward with my second dropshipping store, should I run more meta ads or stop selling the product?
Ich beschäftige mich gerade damit, wie Online-Händler tatsächlich vorgehen, wenn sie neue Lieferanten für ihr Sortiment suchen.
Mit „Dropshipping-Lieferanten“ meine ich dabei Hersteller, Großhändler und Distributoren aus Deutschland bzw. der EU, die den Direktversand an Endkunden anbieten.
Mir geht es ausdrücklich nicht um Alibaba, AliExpress oder chinesische Dropshipping-Anbieter. Mich interessiert das Sourcing innerhalb Deutschlands und der EU – insbesondere, weil kurze Lieferzeiten und eine zuverlässige Belieferung für mich wichtig sind.
Mich würde weniger interessieren, wie ihr es theoretisch machen würdet, sondern wie es bei eurer letzten echten Lieferantensuche abgelaufen ist:
Wie seid ihr auf den Lieferanten aufmerksam geworden?
Wie viele Hersteller, Großhändler oder Distributoren habt ihr euch ungefähr angesehen oder kontaktiert?
Wie findet ihr überhaupt heraus, welche Unternehmen Dropshipping bzw. Direktversand anbieten?
Welche Informationen musstet ihr zusammensuchen, bevor ihr entscheiden konntet, ob ein Lieferant für euch infrage kommt?
Gab es Fälle, bei denen ein Lieferant zunächst gut aussah, sich später aber herausgestellt hat, dass es wegen Einkaufspreisen/Marge, Lieferzeiten, Mindestmengen, Versandkosten, Produktqualität, Retouren oder anderen Bedingungen doch nicht funktioniert?
Besonders interessieren würde mich, wann ihr normalerweise Einkaufspreise und Konditionen erfahrt und wie ihr anschließend beurteilt, ob sich die Produkte für euch wirtschaftlich verkaufen lassen.
Und falls ihr bereits einen guten Lieferanten gefunden habt: Wie lange hat die Suche ungefähr gedauert und was war dabei am aufwendigsten?
Mich interessieren ausdrücklich eure tatsächlichen Erfahrungen – gerne auch Geschichten über Suchen oder Lieferantenbeziehungen, die überhaupt nicht funktioniert haben.
Guys any of y’all can help me for this Q4? I want to try if I can make money without paying ads to see if Dropshipping is really dead or not.
I am from Spain and I answer fastly any message. If anyone could help me I would appreciate that so much.
Also I wanna use free AI tools to get anything prepared. I can answer any question so I stay tuned to y’all. Thank you guys!!
