Dropshipping from Alibaba

[LightningHelix]

So this is new territory for me, so forgive the lack of understanding.

Has anyone succesfully dropshipped items from Alibaba on Amazon? I'm looking to get into this as a side gig.

I've identified a particular item that isn't sold on Amazon.ca in this particular brand, i think it's a great product (having one myself) and I'm looking to fill the void that isn't there currently.

But I've heard there can be some nefarious things when it comes to dropshipping from Alibaba, such as faulty items, ripoff brands and late shipping.

A few questions:

1) Has anyone had success with this business model?

2) Is amazon the best way to sell this item? Maybe Ebay? Making a website and generating traffic sounds like it will cost more than its worth.

3) What is stopping people from going directly to Alibaba to purchase the product?

4) Has anyone been burned by Alibaba Suppliers?
