I'm trying out doba - they act as a database of an assortment of suppliers that keep thier real names secret. Thier all dropshippers - so I don't need any start up cash for inventory (which I don't have) -- It's a huge database of all sorts of stuff - but from what i have read and gathered - mostly you just have to research and find good items that you can clear a profit on - that you can sell over and over, etc. -- at this point I'm mostly looking for a better way to research - I have a trial account at terapeak - where I can look at all sorts of info on the past 90 days of ebay sales - but it just seems like it's taking forever to find stuff - that I can get, that is selling regularly, and for a price that I can still clear a profit after - listing FVF's paypal fee's etc.
Any ideas how I could speed up my research? Would I just be better off waiting til I have startup capital and buying some inventory as opposed to selling through dropshippers - or do a whole lot of the people on eBay use dropshippers. Would I make substatially more if I bought inventory? -- If so any suggestions on what kinds of things are safe bets - as far as making your money back?

You'll never make money with doba -- I have no idea why ebay certified them.
I've done more research and found out that doba is a middleman scam-- I don t think they are breaking the law so much as being reallyreally misleading.
Apparently if you really want to get stuff at wholesale prices youhave to make a business name and get a sales tax ID. (It's not as hardas it sounds)
Real wholsalers can not (by law) sell at wholesale prices to anyone without a sales tax ID.
I have done much research and am aabout to purchase the dropship wholesalers list from wholesalebrands.com.
If you check out http://www.ripoffreport.com/ -- and look up doba --you will find much info (read thouroughly because the staff at dobaseem to like to post rebuttalls acting like they are satisfiedcustomers -- But what satisfied customer goes to a site like that totout the wonders of thier satisfaction?)
I cant find one sigle report against worldwidebrands.com and it is ownedby chris malta who is apparently a highly respected ebay personality.
Also -- is you give me your e-mail addy -- i can send you a reallyhelpful PDF the lets you know what to look out for etc. when lookingfor product sourcing -- It really helped me understand what to lookout for and how everything worked (from how the scams work to how thereal sh-- works)
