Does anyone here run an online shop using drop shipping? Any pointers for a start up? What software do you use?

Yes.

The software is kind of irrelevant. The key is solid supplier relationships who can drop goods quickly and reliably, plus you need to market efficiently as you will be operating on reduced margins in comparison to those who hold stock.

Are you fully automated?

No. You can't be really. It's not a realistic position to aim for.

This sounds like one of those Artificial Intelligence Test conversations.

Fair enough I've got an idea and not sore how best to implement it, do get help from suppliers with your web shop or is it all of your own design?

All our own design.

Interested in hearing what you've got planned. Sound like you're almost expecting someone to build you a site and give you there products so you can just make a cut. If so, it doesn't really work like that.

I wish it was as easy as that! There's a lot of work to do first
