How do I sell on an online marketplace?
Sell products to Austrian online shoppers using online marketplaces.
Instead of investing in inventory and renting warehouse space, you can use
a dropshopping supplier. Every time you sell a vidaXL product, we take
care of order fulfilment from our warehouses. That means you don’t need to
worry about stock management, warehousing, excess unsold stock, shipping,
or returns.

of each online marketplace. Some don't allow dropshipping whereas others
do.
