Business entity, insurance, etc.

[brianm4289]

ok, i will make this as short as I can and get to the point... a while back I tried to start an e-commerce website selling automotive parts working with dropshippers. It seemed so great at first, selling what I love and never having to stock an inventory because it was being dropshipped. BUT of course I started doubting everything and thinking wayyyy to much into things by thinking "what if the company dropships the wrong product and I have no way to return it" "What if somebody hacks into my site and I get sued for somebody else stealing credit card numbers" "What if the item is in terrible shape and I can't check for quality". Now those things were the first batch of negatives that came to my mind but then I started doubting my entity selection of a Sole Proprietor due to my personal credit and assets being on the line in the case of a law suit. I really dont see a law suit happening from running a retail store online but ya never know. So here is my question to everybody... if you were running an e-commerce site would you go as a sole proprietor? have business insurance? or what type of entity would you use? what is your opinion of dropshippers? basically if any of you run an online business I would love to hear any input and advice you have thanks everybody
