To Dropship Or Not To Dropship?

Hi all,

 

I am reading mixed feedback (mostly negative) about dropshipping

and how Paypal is holding funds for 3 weeks etc...

 

The thing is, I have always wanted to try dropshipping but do not

want to even think of my account being down for 3 weeks!

 

My Paypal account is approx. 7 years old and I'm wondering

if that would have any leverage or they put holds anyways?

 

Is dropshipping a good idea or bad idea?

 

All input appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Dropshipping is a great concept, but PayPal no longer supports dropshipping. They recently changed the format.

With dropshipping you get paid, and then you ship the item. PayPal's policy is now you have to SHIP the item BEFORE you get paid. They require a tracking number before they allow the buyers funds to clear into your account.

Why would I ship something out of my own pocket and trust PayPal to send me the funds?

I dont see paypal being around much longer due to this fatal error.

Shipping costs money; noone wants to ship out of pocket.
