question as I've been looking at Shopify direct ship: Is it viable anymore? I mean sourcing from hundreds of suppliers listed on their Oberlo service all the while competing with thousands of others who are trying to sell the exact same products as well as the suppliers themselves selling it at much lower price (same price as their wholesale price) on Alibaba, etc.

Shopify material makes it sound like you can easily sell it for 4x the cost if you spend enough on marketing, etc. Has anyone here have experience setting up dropshipping on shopify recently and making a decent profit?
