What's going wrong
Resellers on several dropshipping supplier apps report that wholesale costs match or exceed retail prices on Amazon, Walmart, and rival suppliers, so after margin and shipping they cannot undercut competitors. Some merchants have gone months without sales or stopped renewing. Other merchants say the suggested retail prices shown inside a dropshipping app sit above what competitors charge, and that the app lacks wholesale buying prices altogether. Both groups are stuck with no price that wins sales and still covers costs. Vendors answer that price is not the only factor, which does not help the seller facing the gap. The opportunity is a tool that checks live cost against market prices before listing and suggests a margin floor.
