Internet sales grows more and more every day and it becomes one of the more popular kinds of the trade in the World but in our region as well. Especially since it enables trade without time and location boundaries, fast and simple payment and delivery to home address. Internet trade from business entities to end users (B2CBusiness to Consumer) is overall present in our lives. However, in value terms, huge part of internet trade goes to trade between trade subjects (B2BBusiness to Business). If this topic is considered more thoroughly, then internet trade can be analyzed through 8 different models. Lately, there is one more model on the rise, which is called dropshipping. It considers internet web-based store which doesn’t contain products on its own stock but rather promote them and after receiving an order, places the order to the supplier, which is mostly often producer, which send products directly to the shopper. So, dropshipper promotes products which sells, quite often through social medias. Shoppers could be from any part of the World, but they are mostly from one specific area which is targeted by dropshipper. When shopper orders product from dropshipper, dropshipper forwards the order to the supplier and supplier send the product directly to the shopper. In this model dropshipper never sees product that sells. This model becomes more and more accepted within entrepreneurial population of all ages, who wants its own business and at the same time does not have enough financial resources and are not willing to take big business risks.
