[goblinn]

Hi guys isnit possible yo do dropshipping via Carousell? Like scout nice products in Aliexpress etc then list there? I see a lot of websites recommend Shopify for dropshipping but is here a diff? Since Carpusell is free as well (i suppose) :/

You can try but people will low ball you instead.

Not really. Carousell buyers aren't easy to deal with. Won't accept fixed price, want to meet up and pay cash. Can try though.

Tough. Am selling my goods through Carousell as well, and i have people now and then trying to negotiate or meetup. Guess it is more suitable as a 2nd hand market, or for smaller shops.

No wonder the bigger brands don't sell through Carousell, but rather other platforms.

oh ya and also, if lets say i go Aliexpress etc see maybe a fake Adidas bag, then i list on Carousell or any other platform with a markup, is not considered like illegal right?

From what i observe, usually pre-order doesn't net much sales, as most people cannot wait. Most are actually quite last minute, esecially vouchers, and most would want to items within the next few days

If u can, will suggest to keep some stocks at home as well, but there will be risks of not being able to sell them out
