Question

Is Doba a drop shipper or a drop ship directory, how about worldwide brands, what's the difference?

Answer 1

They are both directories, I have used both.  Doba is not a very good option when it comes to looking for something like this, their prices are hardly wholesale. Some of the stuff you can buy on there is found cheaper on eBay. Worldwide Brands though is a very good choice for this service, its a one time fee of $300 and their service is awesome.

Answer 2

Doba is a drop shipper in that you can order products from several different suppliers through their site.  The products, returns, etc... all go through the supplier itself though.  Worldwide brands is a directory in that they give you the link to the supplier's site.  You search for a product or product type and get a list of suppliers you can contact.  (as a side note, Doba is really unreliable and there is no option to be notified when a product goes out-of-stock.  This can lead to a lot of back orders for your customers that you have to take the blame for.)
