Whats even worse is that the retailers ban your accounts and can link them to your main account. Target did this for me. My partner was very upset that she couldn't shop online at target anymore. Best buy as well.

I would not recommend this to anyone. Dropshipping is way too risky and one order of 3x macbooks lost can cost you $4k+.
I did good volume with Maxoutdeals but never lost a package till now.
