HIGHLIGHTS:

• Once you set up a reseller (dealer) account, your supplier should provide you with a price list


• Take the time to become familiar with the fee structure:
  
  • Shipping - free? set amount? actual "real time" shipping charge?
  • Dropship fee - per item? per order?


• Your goal is to figure out the all-inclusive wholesale cost (including shipping, dropship fees, etc.) for each product you plan to sell


• You do NOT have to offer your customers the same shipping options & charge them the same amount for shipping that your supplier uses & charges you!


• The amount your supplier charges you for shipping will simply affect the all-inclusive wholesale cost you will pay


• The amount you charge your customers for shipping will simply affect the amount you receive from your customers


• About MAP (Minimum Advertised Price):
  
  • MAP is the lowest amount you are allowed to sell the product for
  • MAP is wonderful because it protects your profit margins (retailers can't keep undercutting each other)
  • You should tattle-tail on competitors who are violating MAP
