however, many sellers like the business model and see it as an easy way to make some extra cash. some sellers successfully use dropshipping as a method of market research to test out new products. personally, i'm not a massive fan of the dropshipping model as i feel it lacks originality, can be time-consuming and offers a lack of control. contrary to popular belief, it's not a get-rich-quick scheme as most of your profits will go to the supplier.
