But where do you start?

I suggest taking things slowly, identify several dropshippers preferably ones that do not need a sign up fee. Then test out their products on ebay.co.uk or ebid.co.uk to see how much potential there is.

Once you are happy that you have found some good dropshippers to use, then look at setting up an online shop.

Info taken from the office of fair trading website.

If you sell goods or services to consumers by:

  • the internet
  • digital television
  • mail order, including catalogue shopping
  • phone
  • fax

then you need to know about the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.

The key features of the regulations are:

  • you must give consumers clear information including details of the goods or services offered, delivery arrangements and payment, the supplier’s details and the consumer’s cancellation right before they buy (known as prior information)
  • you must also provide this information in writing
  • the consumer has a cooling-off period of seven working days.

The full regulations are here: Distance Selling Regulations.
