There is a huge dfference between dropshipping the business and dropshipping the supply chain model. The first one degenerated into a get-rich-quick-on-the-internet scheme, with scammers, caches and everything in between. The latter is a very valid, and less than trivial, supply chain model, an especially well suited one for eCommerce. Used properly, it can be a net win for the vendor as well as for the seller.
