    Thanks for the initial responses! I'm sure there will be more...I
    ought to have mentioned that I only sell items at wholesale prices
    in minimum quantities; otherwise I really would be shooting myself in
    the foot!   

    I hadn't heard the term "drop shipping" before (or if I had, I
    hadn't given it much thought). I certainly don't believe this is a
    good way of doing business for a one-woman operation like mine. Time
    to disentangle myself from the whole mishegoss. 

    For future reference: do any of you have your wholesale customers
    sign a contract or other kind of agreement to protect yourself and
    your work? I have actually drafted one, but I would like to have some
    firmer guidelines to follow as to what kind of stipulations can be
    made. I've previously only done wholesale to brick-and-mortar shops,
    and the web opens up a whole new can of worms. 

Thanks again,
