I am in the process of starting a new business and will very much appreciate your comments, suggestions and advice on my business concept.
The concept
I will have a database of all major drop shippers with their products, prices, terms on my site, interested client would then be able to register with my site to use their service; rather than deal with multiple drop shipper for different products I will be like the middle man, where by all orders/transactions for drop shipping are submitted on my site, my system then automatically pass on the request to the right drop shipper for fulfilment.
I also intend to provide API integration so that drop shipper client can automate their ordering system; orders taken on their web site, over the telephone or mail catalogue are automatically fulfilled through my service and they will have access to their; history, records, reports and all necessary business tools.
Charging;
I am thinking of charging either a monthly user fee of £5 for using the service or a flat fee per transaction processed (PAY AS YOU USE)
I am currently developing the system which is about 90% ready, your comments and suggestions would help me fine-tune the system.

Hi vfulfilled,
My only plea is that you have real dropshippers who have products that can be shipped at reasonable prices to customers in the UK. I have been looking for dropshippers in the UK on the web for a long time and all too often all that you get is an out of date list, an ebook that relates to the States or wholesalers.
If you can deliver and get your site on to the search engines - you will be onto a winner!! Let me know when you are up and running, because I am still looking :-)
Good Luck
