online store questions

[Dino22]

I'm interested in starting an online store. Is it possible to use other vendor's products by picking and choosing specific products to sell on my own site or do I have to use wholesaler distributor's or affiliates? If so, how would I go about it?

Thanks!

Sure!
It's called "drop-shipping". You can fully automate the process or do it manually with email. email me and I will see if I can locate some additional references.

Shameless self-promotion: My site has some decent info too.

Good luck.
