A Review of Shopster Product Sourcing and Store Builder for Your Online Business

Shopster can provide all the services you need to build and stock your online store. It not only offers you access to suppliers but it also makes it possible to create an online store which will automatically be loaded with loads of products. Shopster does most of the hard work for you, leaving you free to focus on selling and maximising profit. Shopster handles all of your product warehousing, packaging, shipping and even returns and customer support.

Shopster makes it possible to run an online business without knowing any specialist skills or making any huge investments. It’s possible to sign up to their ecommerce package and create your very own fully customisable online store in around half an hour. You can then choose which products you want added to your store.

Another popular feature is the eBay integration tool, which allows you to easily import products into eBay listings. This is done through Shopster eBay Listings manager.

Product Pricing

Shopster has an impressive database of products. 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. As Shopster handles all of the relationships with suppliers you will always pay more for your products than if you bought in bulk directly from the wholesaler. 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.
