Hi all,
Super new to this! I can see so many offers online to buy a ready automated dropshipping store.
How does it work? Has anyone ever invested in this? Did it turn into a good investment? Any advice on either?

I am looking for some passive income and a good medium term investment (5-10 years).
Thank you
I read in another post somewhere that dropshipping was against the rules? I’m new and learning myself.
It is against the rules on Amazon, but you can do dropshipping legally, it’s a sea when you enter the e-commerce field but later you will understand how to do these things properly.
Oh yes, dropshipping using my own website I do know is allowed. For some reason I connected your comment to dropshipping thru Amazon. My mistake. I learned and actually tried it back in 2016 but wasn’t patient enough for any good results. I feel like now it’s so saturated but feel like I could try again if I plan better this time around.
I am doing wholesale + OA in USA and successfully doing dropshipping in Dubai and soon will do dropshipping in USA, and keep in your mind just do hard work consistency and you should try again and again, if you want to be successful in this field then connect with some friends who are already doing dropshipping. Perhaps I’m wrong but without team you can’t succeed. I don’t have any intention to demotivate you but it’s my own experience , if you are alone then you will have to do hard work. Some tips for you, perhaps it would be beneficial to you that initially avoid damageable products and also avoid medicine products.
Hi there,
Welcome to the world of dropshipping! It’s definitely an exciting space, but it’s important to go in with a clear understanding of how it works. Essentially, dropshipping allows you to sell products without holding inventory—when a customer places an order, the product is shipped directly from the supplier to the customer.
I personally also work in dropshipping, specifically with wallpaper, and it’s been an interesting experience. I use a platform like FancyWalls for dropship wallpaper. It’s a great niche because it allows for creative marketing, and people are always looking to refresh their homes. However, it’s important to note that while dropshipping can generate passive income, it often requires a lot of effort upfront to set up and scale—especially in terms of marketing, customer service, and maintaining a steady flow of traffic to your store.
As for whether a pre-built automated store is a good investment, it depends. Some people have success, but it’s not as passive as it may sound. You’ll still need to put in work to drive traffic, optimize the store, and ensure customer satisfaction. If you’re planning for medium-term (5-10 years) returns, just be mindful that trends change and you’ll need to adapt to stay profitable.
I’d recommend doing plenty of research into the specific niche you want to target and the supplier you’re working with. It can also be a good idea to start small and scale as you learn the ropes.
