Eli5. What’s drop shipping?

601 views

So I’m new to this. Seen like 5 vids on tik tok and wanna learn more. Because you buy a item for like 10$ from a customer, then you sell it for the same 10$ or what? That would be 0 profit. Do you sell it for more? If that’s the case, why would people buy it from you then?

Alibaba/Aliexpress is a popular source for many cheap made-in-China products. What most drop shippers do is list these products for sale and just order from there and use the customers info for shipping.

So yes, it’s a useless middle-man. Now, some have evolved to actually buying the popular items ahead of time and housing them in order to offer faster shipping.
