If the merchant is small enough, I'd call them and discuss what you could do for them with a private label affiliate program.

Give them a solid proposal and tell them that you're going to be in that sector .. either with them or one of their competitors.... you know how the sales pitch goes. :)

I personally do not like drop shipping as it involves way too many variables and I do not like handling credit cards unless it is for one of our local stores.
