There has been a lot of online misinformation concerning the Doba scam and allegations of fraud against this internet company and its questionable practices. The reality of the situation is that the Doba scam does not exist, and actually, this internet business and others offer a service that should not be taken lightly.
A lot of people are labeling Doba as a scam mainly because the company provides a service that is subscription based, and this service provides its subscribers with access to low-cost drop shipping through a group of wholesalers. In other words, Doba is a centralized wholesale source. Doba is not an “eBay”, where single items are purchased at a low cost; this service facilitates the business to business online sale of wholesale items to a degree never before heard of.
Because of this, Doba is not appropriate for everyone. A small business that has limited trade or a casual vendor will probably not find Doba to be suitable for them because of the subscription fees that are charged for the service.
Larger businesses, or sellers who want to find a way to source wholesale items without spending too much money or time on the process may want to consider Doba. Doba’s function is to facilitate the process, so that you can get on with the business of selling your products and profiting from the transactions.
The fundamentals of the Doba system can be explained as follows. To use Doba, you must first sign up and then subscribe to the the service. The subscription fee gives Doba its operations expenses, as the prices you see listed for the different products are what the individual sources actually charge for wholesale drop shipping. Doba maintains a solid rapport with its online suppliers, so the prices at which the products are offered are quite often a good deal lower than can be found elsewhere.
After your account is established, you can sign in, and you will find an ecommerce storefront from which you can browse or search for available products. The available products range from brand name clothing to kitchen-related products and computers; Doba is essentially the centralized wholesale source for everything you might need buy wholesale.
You can then select the products that you want to offer in your personal online store, and you do not have to pay for the goods until they are actually purchased by your customers. You will profit when you sell those goods to your customers at a higher price than what you will pay Doba for the products.
The beauty of the system is that you avoid transacting business with the individual wholesalers directly. Your subscription pays Doba to take care of it for you; you order your products through Doba, not the wholesale source. For example, if you are ordering seven different items from seven wholesalers, you submit a single order, and Doba does everything else. It’s hard to imagine why anyone would consider Doba to be a scam when they provide such a valuable service.

Hi
I use wholesale Central (www.wholesalecentral.com) to purchase wholesale products for resale. What I love about WC is that there is no registration required AND you deal directly with the wholesaler. wholesale Central acts as a directory of wholesale merchandise (and also has a lot of information about the wholesale/retail industry).
Good Luck!
