Shopster Insider's Update #2: Avoid Order Cancellations

It's very frustrating when you make a sale, only to see Shopster cancel it. Obviously, it doesn't benefit use to cancel sales. There are two main reasons why orders get cancelled, fraud and stock issues. Fraud, unfortunately, is something we all have to live with. You do have control over the order cancellations though, by being selective in the suppliers you choose products from.

That being said, there is no easy way in Shopster to see the rankings of all the suppliers. So, here's an up to date list of the best suppliers in the warehouse. Clicking on the supplier name will take you directly to their newest products in the warehouse (after the required login).

These suppliers don't have a long track record within Shopster, but are doing quite well so far. These products are under-represented in the RShops, so you can set higher margins.

As you may know, Shopster does 'boot' suppliers from the system which have poor fulfillment rates. However, we must balance supplier performance with product diversity. Generally, the larger suppliers who do a lot of drop shipping have the highest fulfillment rates, but if we only used these suppliers, you wouldn't have access to unique products (that aren't already all over eBay and the rest of the Internet).
