In our quest to become drop shippers, we have probably happened by quite a few suppliers who come from China. They offer us a glimmer of hope that that iPhone is not an unattainable dream, and maybe we can get those great Prada bags. However, as with all beautiful dreams, they do not typically stack up well when compared to the starkness of reality. Don't let yourself be fooled by thinking that things can be better than they appear to be; if things look to good to be true, they probably are too good to be true.

There are some things that we need to think about when we are getting our goods from suppliers in China. For example, the copyright laws that we have here in the united states do not apply in China. They can market an in-house product as a name brand if they so desire, and there is nothing by their laws that has them at fault. This means that it is a grey market and that they may create look-alike items. No matter what the laws are in other countries, we will still be held to the laws of our land. This means that if we try to market the fake items as the real ones, we will be held liable for it. Don't even think about trying to sell these items on eBay unless you're looking for a way to get your account banned.
