Product Pricing
Shopster has one of the biggest product databases on the internet. There are over 1 million products to chose from, supplied by about 130 dropship suppliers. All of these products are of high quality and most of the products available are from branded companies. Products are available from companies like Canon, Apple, Intel, D&G, Fendi and many others.
The pricing of products is fairly competitive among other dropshippers. However prices will always be more expensive than dealing directly with wholesalers and buying in bulk as you are paying a premium for the Shopster service. Having said that, it is still possible to make a profit with certain products even when selling in very competitive market places such as eBay.
