    Sorry but I always order items that are small enough that I have shipped solely by DHL, FedEx, etc. at this point.

    I ship air to expedite the testing samples/ finding products that sell well. If you have a product that you know sells and can save a large amount by shipping freight then I would certainly go for it. After sampling a supplier/ product i normally order 100's at a time. I let the sales dictate...

    You could ask the manufacture to put them in packaging of ten or just sell them in lots of ten and leave them open. It wouldn't bother most people that they arn't sealed. With samples it is all about testing, you just want to see how many you sell in a certain time period. If you are selling...

    1. I prefer either paypal or the escrow that is provided by Alibaba. Most of the time I will use escrow for the samples and after using that I will swap over to just paypal payments for the normal orders. 2. T/T is basically a wire transfer to the supplier. A lot of suppliers prefer this but it...

    That would depend on what those results are. Are they all the same identical items with 250 different sellers? Are they 1 seller with 250 different auctions? I am not looking for a niche, I am looking for as many sales as possible with as few competitors as possible.

    If you are referring to when making an offer to someone i always contact the supplier first. I explain I want to order samples of their product and wondered what would be the cost for 10 including express shipping to the US. If you try and buy through alibaba escrow offer thing the supplier will...

    I would drop them as well. If someone isn't worried about putting out a quality product I am not interested in working with them.

    As I said I am not an expert on selling to local people but idk why it wouldn't be legal. Ask walmart how they are doing selling imported products locally. They might be some additional paperwork to fill out in your state but every place is different.

    You will come across products that are complete crap. It is a part of the business. I will normally do a couple things when I get bad items. 1. Contact the supplier and tell him the products are all breaking after a short time of use. See if you can get him to send replacements at his cost. 2...

    Tell them you like their products and would like to stock it in your store, but currently you only have enough room to stock 100. Emphasize that you will be making many repeat orders and you want to have a long term business relationship with them. If that doesn't work you either have to order...

    In my opinion there is great opportunity in importing things then reselling to small local businesses. I have not done it as of yet so I cant give you much advice on it. Sorry

    As long as it isn't a name brand then I don't have a problem with it. It's just that phones and tablets etc dont sell for a good price unless name brand.

    It really is all about testing. If branded sells for $300-$350 I personally would start in the $275 range and then go from there. I try to look from a consumer point of view. What discount would make me want to buy the generic over the name brand?

    A quick search on eBay quickly reveals you are wrong. Searched "sex toys" and came up with 75,000 items for sale. The word "sex" brings up 185,000 items (some are lingerie obviously)

    I normally do pay for samples. Some manufactures will give you free samples and all you have to do is pay shipping. Others charge you a sample fee and refund it with the first order. A lot of suppliers will just tell you how much the sample is and you can get them cheaper when ordering in bulk...

    Honestly a lot of people don't even look at other products you are selling. If I could find a sex related product without much competition I wouldn't hesitate to go for it! (I would tell my wife ahead of time though lol)

    Most of the time it doesn't matter if you are a beginning seller or not. If you have a quality product with none or few competitors and people need/want that product they will buy it from any seller.
