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'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!
Day 2 0 Sales but a lot of link clicks. This is the second ad account I'm running for the same product (first one got nuked by meta) and it's doing about the same in clicks but way worse in actually sales (0 so far compared to 3 at the same point in the other account), I changed nothing about the website, the offer, or anything.

Looking for an experienced e-commerce operator to partner with — I’m prepared to invest $10k–$50k
I’m looking to partner with someone who has real experience building and running an e-commerce business.
I’m prepared to invest $10,000–$50,000 of my own capital, depending on the business model, opportunity, and growth plan.
The target is to build something sustainable that can eventually generate around $50k+ per year in profit for me while creating a business we can grow together.
I’m not looking for someone with only an idea.
I’m specifically interested in someone who has experience with:
I’m open to different models, including private label, DTC, marketplaces, or another approach that makes sense based on your experience.
I would bring the investment capital. I’m looking for someone who can bring the e-commerce knowledge, execution, and operational experience.
Have you already built or currently run an e-commerce business?
If so, send me a DM with:
I’m not looking to rush into anything. I want to find the right operator, verify the experience, and build something properly.
If you’re serious about partnering with an investor and have the experience to operate the business, let’s talk.

Hey guys,
I’m managing a UK eBay store remotely through MUAA with a dedicated UK proxy setup. The tech side is working smoothly, but I've hit a wall on product sourcing and margins.
Every time I look into sourcing from Amazon UK, the numbers just don't add up. After eBay's 12–15% fees, shipping, and taxes, the profit is basically zero or negative. Plus, I know eBay hates retail dropshipping and tracks Amazon logistics tracking numbers.
For anyone actually pulling real sales and profit on eBay UK right now:
**Amazon:** Are you guys still somehow making Amazon to eBay work, or is it completely burnt out?
**Cheaper Suppliers:** Where are you finding suppliers cheap enough to actually leave a 20%+ margin? Are you using specific UK wholesale dropshippers, CJ Dropshipping, AliExpress local warehouses, or niche B2B suppliers?
**Order Flow:** How are you placing orders fast and keeping stock updated so you don't run out of stock and get hit with defect rates?
Drop your take below—need some honest feedback on where the margin is actually at right now.
I'm a beginner who has spent months learning dropshipping but hasn't launched a store yet.
I told my close college friend about it, hoping he might become my partner someday. I kept sending him content and pitching the idea, until he asked me three questions:
Isn't testing products just gambling?
If others sell the same thing, why would anyone buy from you?
If mentors make money, why do they sell mentorship?
I had some answers, but none came from real experience, so they sounded weak even to me.
Then I noticed the same pattern in my gym goals. I keep learning and planning, but I haven't taken the action that would give me results. I had been teaching and motivating others while not doing the work myself.
So I've stopped pitching him.
My plan now is to launch one small test store with a fixed budget I can afford to lose, and show him numbers instead of opinions.
If you started where I am now, learning a lot but not yet launched:
What was the first thing that actually got you to start, and what did your first test look like?
i’m new to dropshipping, and i found a product off kalodata that has been getting about 3 sales consistently off of about 80-100 spent in ads a day. I have been running ads for this for about a week and a half. I only really have found 2 winnning ads, but with those 3 sales each day I lose like $15 a day. I feel like this product has the potential to be profitable as Most days I am like 1 or 2 sales off from making money and I have made profit like 2 days this week.
What should i do, I am thinking of testing more creatives but like also I can’t really understand why I’m not profitable yet. Do I need to spend more on ads or should I cut the product like what are the next steps from here because I feel like I’m doing something right but I don’t know how to make this profitable.
I run ads on meta btw.
So basically I have started my first dropshipping store with 1 product build clean website with each and every element in it, tried organic dropshipping but 0 website views side by side I also did meta marketing and I spended $400 in meta tried multiple angles and just got 2 sales so ultimately I decided that I should stop it as I was just burning my money on meta with no conversions. After few months I said again with different product and different category then the previous one and it was also not too much saturated product again build nice and clean website with every element in it, and you can see my results as shown in the picture. Almost $60 spend, but 0 sales again. No I don't know what is wrong is it the dropshipping model because nobody is going to buy from random website is that true or again is it just a product being not suitable for dropshipping and if it's a product fault then how should I do research on which product to sell or finally should I just drop my dropshipping business idea. Let me tell you something, I'm very much interested in e-commerce as I have been learning everything by myself from last 1 year from scratch. And now I'm feeling low right now. Need some serious help/suggestions.
Does anyone know if Smith Rees is legit and worth listening too?

Review Please,
Hoping I understand the rules of this community. I have a shopify store since April 2026. To this date, I have 1 sale and 2 that I did myself as a test. Can I get someone to review or audit my store and give me honest, no bull feedback on why im getting traffic, (unless this traffic is bots) and no sales? I'm posting on kijiji, pinterest, and have videos on tik tok. What am I doing wrong? I cant afford the meta/Instagram paid promotions so im doing the free as long as i can. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank you.

Hey Guys, interested in buying a dropshipping business where the items are tagged, packaged and sent by parcel worldwide. They have a sourcing agent handling this and all logistics. They claim that all there sales are based around there insta pages so only organic sales. Been operating for 3 years with average revenue 100k plus and profit at 40%.
Done some due diligence but wanted to know if there are other data I need to be questioning before this purchase. I have dabbled in dropshipping before but this will be my first purchase.
Hey guys.
I just wanted to share something I've been working on because I was honestly sick of the whole "test and pray" method. We've all been there: you see a product that looks like a winner, you spend $200 on Meta ads, and then you realize the landed cost eats all your profit or 50 other stores are already scaling it.
I got so fed up that I spent the last few months coding a script to do the dirty work for me. Instead of manually looking for products, the tool scrapes the CJ Dropshipping catalog (around 1.3 million products) and calculates the true landed cost by weight. Then it automatically checks the Meta Ad Library.
But here is the trick I realized: looking at active ads is useless. My script looks for abandoned ads. If 5 stores are running it but 8 stores tried it and killed the ad after 19 hours, the script flags it as a trap and kills the product.
I let it run today targeting the Netherlands just to see what would happen. It spit out a weird product: a full-color Pomeranian dog chef apron.
The math it calculated was actually insane. The shipping cost to NL is $7.27, and based on competitor pricing it suggested a retail price of €94.95. That leaves a net margin of around 71%. It even calculated my exact break-even CPA before I even opened the ads manager.
It went a bit overkill and even generated the Dutch copy for the landing page using the supplier photos (I attached a screenshot of what it outputted).
I’m still tweaking the code and the servers are costing me a bit to run, but the amount of time it saves is ridiculous. Has anyone else tried building custom scrapers for product research instead of paying for the typical spy tools?
I have some server credits left for the month, so if anyone is struggling to find products for Q4 and wants me to run their specific niche through my script, just shoot me a DM and I'll send you whatever it finds.
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!
