Also, be wary of any that post testimonials from "satisfied customers" as all may not be as it seems, check the link below for an example.

That's what you call getting caught red handed!
I use several companies that will dropship and that has minimised the risk of finding anyone selling identical products to mine.

I went on eBay yesterday and found only one seller there with listings of one of my product lines.

I dont have the problem of not being able to offer a discount to my customers if they get sent parcels from different suppliers as I charge the same rate per order to all my customers no matter what they buy.

I have seen that on just about every website and mail order catalogue I have come across so I dont see why anyone would offer discounts on postage. I only ever did that on auction sites - never on my own site.
