esources don't actually supply any of the goods.They're just a directory in which the suppliers advertise, and seem to be OK at that.What you need to worry about is the individual companies who are supplying you. For that, you should always ask for several customer references.

Personally its best to find someone locally for info. on dropshipping OR know them personally. You have to communicate and make sure you and the dropshipper have the same standards for your business and you have to find one you can trust. I have business partners in china so I know about it to an extent,

Never, never, NEVER use a dropshipper. They are the only one who makes any money on the deal. And you will be competing with thousands of other people who got scammed into believing a dropshipper was the way to go. And you're all selling the same high cost, low quality items. And, you cannot sell anything that you don't physically have in your posession without disclosing it in your listing - and when you do that, you lose many potential buyers that know how shady dropshippers are. And, if you sell and item and the dropshipper decides it's "out of stock", it's your reputation on the line, not theirs.
