Many beginners make costly errors when starting. One common mistake is violating Amazon’s policy by using retail arbitrage—buying from stores like eBay or Walmart. Another is choosing unreliable suppliers with poor fulfillment records.
Others fail to calculate all costs, leading to little or no profit after Amazon fees. Ignoring customer service or responding slowly to complaints can also damage your account health.
Avoid these pitfalls by staying compliant, researching suppliers thoroughly, and treating customer satisfaction as your top priority. A long-term mindset always wins in dropshipping.
