How do I start an eBay business? Wholesalers? Warehouses?

How do I Start an eBay Business? I am basically looking for a place where I can find products at Wholesale prices, where I can buy from suppliers in Bulk and sell on eBay for a profit. My friend is doing this but he is in to computers and Im not so I need different wholesalers.

Right here goes, before I start, I would like to let you know I am a PowerSeller with 3500 positive feedback at 99.5%.

Before you start you must think of the product range you would like to get involved in, Be it Car audio, Furniture, Clothing ,Shoes, You name it.

Once you are sure, you will need to purchase these items from a distributor. The way to find distributors and wholesalers is in directory services (which require registration) like Http://www.wholesale2uk.com If you are based in the UK; and Http://www.0wholesale.com if you are based in the USA.

Once you have found the Product you would like to sell, Look on eBay see if it goes for More than you can get it. If it does, buy it! If it doesn’t, don’t buy it! Simple!

Once you have sold the item you can ship it and you will have made profit. It’s very enjoyable and can be done for a living like I currently do. Good luck with your pursuits!
The most important thing is to find a supplier of what ever it is you want to sell, dropshippers are okay if you can find one.

I tried companies that would set up an online business for you and here is the biggest pitfall to them all. "30 day free trial" they will get you listed on the major search engines, but what they don't tell you is it takes more than 30 days to get listed on the search engines. So be carefull and do alot of research before you commit. I did some selling on ebay using a drop shipper of tools, thye first 3 sales went well after that for some reason the drop shipper stopped shipping even after I paid him. Another tip is use PayPal I had to return the money to my customers and because I used PayPal they got my money back for me from the drop shipper. I have not tried it but on ebay you can buy list of drop shippers for about $2.

"Additional Income" page. Look near the top of the page

for several sources.
Your are competing with THOUSANDS of losers who will whore themselves out for pennies. Whatever you find to sell someone else will sell it for less . . .

Unless you are the ONLY one who has it.

So create your own digital products that are unique and sell them on Ebay. There are plenty of buyers if you hit the right keyword and your cost is almost nothing.

Let me know if I can help.
