Okay, so you want to make money selling stuff on e-bay... or open an online store...or you just want to buy things for wholesale prices. Whatever the reason is, you've researched wholesalers and dropshipping directories and you're interested in Salehoo. you're likely aware of the fact that scams are a dime a dozen online, so you want to check if Salehoo is a scam...no, let me put it differently: you want to make absolutely sure that Salehoo isn't a scam. Wise move. In this article, i'll tell you my personal story, and you'll be the judge if Salehoo is a scam or if it's an honest company.

I had my first encounter with e-bay towards the end of 2007. I was looking to buy gifts for my family and I found gifts for them, all at good prices. When I had questions, I e-mailed the sellers and was promptly answered. Because my e-bay experience was a good one, I figured "Hey, why can't I become an e-bay seller?" I started with selling like-new items that I had at home and could do without. It basically went well. So naturally, my next step was getting items for cheap prices and so began the never ending question "What should I sell?"

Through my research, I had learned that on e-bay, the profit is made when I purchase the inventory, not when it's sold. Technically, that means that I have to get the items for cheap prices, so that I should be able to sell it for a reasonable price (cheaper than getting it locally), and still make a profit. I was recommended to use Salehoo, by a virtual, e-bay friend whom I had never met. Salehoo is a wholesale and dropshipper directory listing.

The reason some people suspect Salehoo is a scam is because they're under the impression that Salehoo is itself a wholesale supplier. it's not. it's just a listing of over 8,000 verified, legitimate product sources (wholesalers & dropshippers), from around the globe. Anyways, I joined Salehoo and liked what I saw. I was looking for a baby toys wholesaler. I was almost ready to place my order, when I determined to check out the user forum. (It has over 50,000 registered users and is moderated by experienced Powersellers). In the forum, members can rate companies as good or bad. When I looked for the company I wanted to order from, I was surprised to see that it was negatively rated. Upon closer inspection, I read that the previous Manager had just left and currently (then) orders were taking a very long time to fill.

Armed with this information, I found a different company that was favorably rated. I had a good experience with that company (as a matter of fact, I still order from them). i've had good experiences with all the companies i've dealt with through Salehoo. Naturally, some are better than others. i've never had to contact Salehoo Customer Service, but I hear that they're very responsive.

In this article, we discussed the question "Is Salehoo a scam?" According to my experience, Salehoo isn't a scam. it's a legitimate company that has a listing of over 8,000 verified wholesalers & dropshippers from around the globe. Plus, Salehoo has an unconditional fifty-six day money-back guarantee. So, it's your choice if you want to join or not. One thing's for sure though, Salehoo isn't a scam.
