I purchased a website package from this so-called 'business'- big mistake. Within a week I was facing fines and threats from a company because OWT had used copyright material in all of their website packages. I complained to no avail, every email or recorded letter I sent was ignored. Please, if you're lucky enough to read these reviews before you sign up (I wish I had believe me) do not go with them. You are stuck in a 12-month contract with them unless you want to pay a £30 ridiculous admin charge to break the contract. AVOID!

Tip for consumers:
Don't!

I am writing this review just to add a little balance to the subject. My friend has purchased a website package via this company, incidentally, they get them from another website company called UK dropship group. Everything that was promised has been done, setup in 30mins, choice of templates, feeds from supplier, payment channels set up etc. My friend paid a total of £79.95 and all other extras promised have been included, even a whole year of hosting AND an SSL certificate. NO upsell has happened, no 'special deals' have been offered. The dropshipper my friend uses has very cheap wholesale prices so there is ample opportunity for profit.
Having read some of these reviews I am finding it hard to understand what was expected when the package was purchased. Guys, when you set up a website as with any business it is up to YOU to promote it in any way you see fit. You can throw money at google all day long to get high ranking but they can't guarantee sales, this is the reality of business I'm afraid.
If offers are made that require you to spend money only you can assess whether it will be money well spent. There are loads of scams out there as we all know and yes, I have fallen for them but all I can say is this has so far been exactly what was described. One thing I will say is, online web traders phone support IS pretty poor, as in, non-existent! In my opinion I think they are just re-sellers for UK dropship group.
I would also like to address something that was said earlier. These websites do indeed look as though they are based on oscommerce but just try setting up a site as good as they offer for less money, the templates alone would cost over £80 each, and they offer five per site.
Anyway, look at the big picture and stay safe

Twice I have been swindled by this succum. They just shut the web down and don't even eve communicate. Now the Dropshipland has also closed. These two are partners of succum. They will get what fits them.

Yip, well I got ripped off by these scam artists as well, I signed up for them through computer-dropshipping.com cost me £79 and 2 days later I am still unable to sell anything, their shipping methods and costs are non-existent, when I tried some sample orders I found that Hampshire was being put into all of the paypal addresses, I emailed computer-dropshipping, that email got returned as undeliverable because thier inbos was over quota, I also emailed onlinewebtrading and that email also got returned as "No such file or directory", can't phone the suppliers as they have no phone number listed, so I sit here with a broken website, £79 out of pocket and no response from any of them. I read their terms and conditions and they seem to be adamant not to return ANY money you pay to them, I started to open up a paypal dispute and they had a message there saynig that they will fight back and claim legal costs if I continued to open up a paypal dispute. So I guess that's a hard lesson learned, just hope other people read these reviews before getting conned into paying these scam artists any money.

I purchased a dropshipping site with onlinewebtraders and in 2 months i spent over £295.00 with buying add ons to the products i went to my website yesterday to find they have turned it off yet all my payments were upto date and my hosting fees were up-to date so i owed them nothing yet after i have paid all this money out and the extras i have spent promoting my website i wake up to find it has all gone just like that so i contacted paypal and opened 10 disputes for the payments i have paid them but this will only try to recover part of my money as some of the payments have gone past the amount of days to dispute the transaction i think this is a big con and should be classed as fraud

Hi, just red the other 2 reviews and want to thank for the advices, They really helped me not to make my mistake bigger than it is.
So, one day I was sitting at home and wondering what shell I do because recently I've had health problems and had to quit my job. Browsing the net for some ideas I found that website www.onlinetrading.com.Their advertising was very good and I thought myself why not try it.So I sign up for £14.99 and thought they will give me some wholesalers for my ebay auctions... But no, no.
Well after that they asked me to make mine website. I did buy that to and thought that's it, tomorrow I am starting my online business. And no, again no!
I had the website but not the adverting. People didn't know about me.To use Google engine I had to pay £39.99.
Well, I didn't pay.And my website is still there and the money gone.The interesting part is that today I received email from the company: a one-time, 24 hour, never-to-be-repeated offer(£79.99).
To tell you I was thinking to buy it. But thanks to you and your comments you saved me from other disaster.
Thank you very much! Really appreciated.
P. S
Sorry if I have some spelling mistakes... English is my second language.

I am a member with this company as well. They host dropshiplands products and are absolutely rubbish. Stay well away from them. If you ask them for support you will get some real miserable responses and very patronising ones. I have had many dealings with them and trust me they are useless at service to the customer. Once they have your money you are dog $#@! If you do get a response from them it can take them ages to sort out your issue and it is done very amaturish if that's a word. If you join these you are MAD! You will regret it. The admin panel works with Dropshiplands products, but you can add your own products. Onlinewebtraders in my opinion have ripped off zencart and tried to claim it as their own. Sorry guys didn't work, zencart is leagues above you, and you block out in the admin all the important stuff that people NEED. The plus thing is that you can have thousands of goods on your website to host and look like the real deal. The down side is that they are so so expensive that the possible profit you could make has been already taken by the buyers. You will never succeed, never win and always be out of pocket. I wasted my money on this company and they do not offer any money back on any of their services, now what's that say about them, take the money and run the legal way. Don't do it, it's an absolute waste of money big time and you will without a doubt regret it!

I have been suckered into a scam on the net that I would like to share and warn all people about.It involves promises by the above mentioned firms (who incidenataly I think are the same company.

First you are given promises, offers and assurances of vast profits by dropshipland at quite a cost, but are given goods to sell on independant auctions, you are also given options to buy a website. Remember before you buy the website you have already paid 74 quid odd as a subsrciption to gain access to 4500 items to sell as you see fit.

The website costs AT LEAST another 60 quid, thinking that you have previously subscribed for an offer where all wares are available for you to sell, you are then offered further products to sell in the same catories that you have previously already subscribed to, there is a choice of at least ten categories where you will have to pay a further £25 pound for each of these.

But wait, on the original page you are told you will be given valuable information to improve your sales techniques once you have purchased your site. How much are you supposed to pay for FREE info, another wonderful add inside their site is recieve google adwords free, pay only 24.95. Again how much is free info supposed to cost lol.

Believe me thats not all, I bought the website and chose my web address and extension, That was two days ago. I was promised it would be up and running within 30 mins, ha.

There`s more tried to phone them this morning 9,00am sharp I was still listening to their message at 9.50am on an 0844 number.

I`m usually a very cynical person about these internet operations, but this lot seemed above board and their advertising is very convincing. Dropshipland are not about your profits, believe me, you are constantly bombarded with offers to "help improve". Thankfully once I entered the website sales area I have`nt gone anyfurther or spent any more money on their "products" due to the poor customer support they offer.

One last thing that I think is vital to tell you, I recieved sales on my auction site, where I have been a member for over ten years, on seven items in the dropshipland catalogue, none of the seven items were available for sale when I went to purchase them for my customers. I contacted them through e-mail and was told that their catalogue update software was faulty and that I should just use the listing options.

Some people might say that Dropshipland are just showing good salesmanship
And pushing their product, but I doubt very much if their product exists.Or if it does it is only for their benefit and not you; their potential customer.
