    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    Most every time i just eat any returns or bad products. I can do that because I personally test the quality of each product and supplier. Once you find a supplier that makes quality products you shouldn't have more than a couple bad/damaged items in every couple hundred products. I will eat the...

    I actually do both. Items already selling allow for a much better idea of margins of amount of sales. An item that hasn't caught on has more potential for profit (you set the price) but also more potential for error (picking a product that doesn't sell) I set myself apart in 3 ways 1. Quality i...

    As for #1 I have never had to adjust any items for specific standards so messaging them until you can get a manufacture that agrees is probably your best bet. #2 find as many people that make the same item and just send the same message to all. It will raise your odds of finding someone who can...

    You can't really talk about Tile as an electronic to find on Alibaba or a website and resell. Tile is an original idea that was created not a generic that was branded and resold.

    When I say electronics I am referring to phones, tablets, computers, TVs etc. There are virtually no margins if the items are legit and there are TONS of scammers in those items that will either take your money and run or send you piece of junk non-working crap.

    Most of the products that are on that site are phones, tablets, and other branded electronics. I would never try and buy those items from dhgate. The main reason why is I did that once when I was starting out. I ordered "Apple iPod touch" for a great price. I was so excited til I got them and...

    Shipping costs for sample order should be the only thing that goes up. They should not quadruple the price of the item just because you want a smaller sample order. I just tell them I need the sample to test quality of the product. Once I receive the item I open it and make sure it looks and...

    As of right now I am still selling every successful item that I tested. That is the main reason that I stay away from the "next big thing". That "big thing" will be long gone and I will still be selling the same products over and over again. As for unsuccessful items I have tons of those...

    I have used terapeak before but the problem is there is no work involved for anyone to access that information. Most of the "hot" items are way too competitive to make any reliable profit. I have found searching for an item that is currently not selling in the US or maybe with only one other...

    Inventory was kept in a spare bedroom in my house until my wife finally got the better of me. Lol We moved to another house with a LARGE garage and that is where I am currently keeping all the inventory.

    The products that I have branded were ones I found and was already selling under the generic name. The company asked if I wanted to add my brand name to the items and I of course agreed. That's how I have done all the branding for my items up until this point. Sorry that is not much of a help in...

    Pretty much every bad experience I had was because of my lack of knowledge. I have ordered things before and completely lost my money (paid by western union) btw don't ever pay by western union or wire for first shipments til you get a feel for the supplier. eBay and Amazon can be a huge pain...

    Most of the sellers will give you the MOQ that you need to make the deal work. The item that I most recently started imported had a MOQ of 100 and it is a $100+ Per unit. That would be 10 grand just to try it. I messaged them and asked if they would do a sample order of 5 units and they agreed...

    Most anything that you would find on those sites that has a brand (Sony, Apple, etc) is most likely a knockoff or a back of the truck item (meaning stolen from manufacture or ones that were "damaged" and then resold) There are tons of products that are generic/ only Chinese type brand. Those are...

    Just wanted to say there are opportunities to buy things wholesale and resell at good prices all over the place. Today I was spending time at the zoo and shopping with my wife and daughter. We went by a store that is closing and doing final liquidation. We went in and they basically only had...

    I struggled with the same thing when I was starting. I still have lists in my email that I paid a lot of money to buy and most websites were inactive or not good margins. I use three main sites for importing dhgate.com alibaba.com and aliexpress.com. A lot of people will tell you that these...

    I do both depending on the product. When starting out I didn't even know that putting my own brand on an item was even possible. I just found things with good margin and would order a decent amount. If the product failed oh well on to the next one. Failures are a part of any business. A couple...

    I normally try to find items that will stand the test of time. Many times the "hot" items are either too competitive or the margins just don't work for importing. I start looking for products based on things i use. One of the products I am selling right now is selling to purely businesses. I...
