Doba is a
membership based service that claims to
connect everyday people to wholesalers,
distributors, and independent craftsmen.
All together they work with around 160 of
these types of companies.
Through the Doba interface users can
search, organize, and order products using
one comprehensive database. The
company itself is not a wholesaler and they
do not claim to warehouse any products they
act as a broker between Doba members and
their drop shippers.
They also allege that they do not make
money from product sales but strictly from
membership fees, thus passing on the savings
to their customers. This point has
been debated by some former users who
thought Doba was taking a percentage from
the products.
I have not seen verifiable proof of this
but if I do I will update this Doba Review.
I know that often users get upset if they
can't find profitably priced items and
sometimes are too quick to make accusations.
Doba is also an eBay certified service
provider and they have tools that are
integrated with eBay and can allow you to
immediately post auctions. Although
this feature costs extra and if you want it
you will have to sign up for the higher
priced membership.
Overall, Doba's services can be useful to
auctioneers and small business retailers.
Keep in mind, they have a massive product
inventory and not every one is priced to
make a profit, it's still up to you to do
the research and make wise business
decisions.
Even though Doba is a decent company I
would highly recommend checking out
Worldwide Brands as an alternative.
Their wholesaler and supplier database
contains over 9,000 companies and includes
an advanced product research tool.
They also don't charge a monthly fee, just
one payment for lifetime access. To
