    I use priority mail padded flat rate envelope a lot. You can get them free from the USPS website and they will even ship them to your door for free. Shipping it costs $5.35 through paypal including a free tracking number.

    Just got back from taking my daughter to the park for a picnic and feeding the ducks. The rewards for working this business are a lot more than just money!

    Yeah Alibaba is very annoying in not having prices on a majority of their items. I prefer dhgate, aliexpress, or Alibaba wholesale. All of those have the prices listed included shipping. It makes it far easier to look through a lot of items quickly.

    Ok so the issue with doing this in a forum is the product will probably be burned out in a couple weeks but here goes. I hopped on dhgate and hit up a super broad keyword "kitchen". I just started looking through the results and found a couple that looked promising. Nope, they didn't have any...

    Awesome! Just awesome! I love hearing success stories from people that take action. All it takes is 1 more item and you double your income to $30,000 a year... Bump it up to 7 items total and you are pushing 100 grand a year. It is so worth the time and effort put in to not have to work a 9-5 job!

    DHL is a shipping company just like FedEx etc. They are quite fast in getting things here from China. Best way to pay would be Paypal or Alibaba's escrow service. If you pay through Paypal make sure to mark it as you are buying something and not as a gift. If you put that it is a gift you have...

    All from his hundreds of negative feedback. He doesn't reply to any eBay messages which is complained about over and over again. His response to the feedback is "too bad should have opened an eBay case." Also what Carrie said You can learn a lot about what competitors are doing wrong by...

    I love the adding a contact number idea! You can get a prepaid phone for $40 a month or less. Make it your business only line and encourage people to call or text you. That's an awesome idea!

    Exactly what I saw. Look at all his negatives. They mention a few specific problems that can be learned from. 1. Answer peoples questions 2. Don't sell items before you get them in stock. 3. Be professional (many of his responses to the negative feedback are VERY unprofessional) 4. Don't make...

    I was looking for a mower part on eBay and came across this gem of a seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Drive-Cable-MTD-946-04440-290-647-/350913113288?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51b40d2cc8 What should you as a seller be doing differently if this were you, and how would you tell what the...

    I stand by my statements. Calling it a "hot selling slam dunk" is deceptive marketing of your "wholesale selling" I would call out anyone who tried to deceive people especially on a thread that was started to HELP people not to sell them something. Honesty is always the best policy.

    I've pretty much stayed with generic. Many suppliers have patents on the items that you are purchasing so you obviously couldn't so that. It is certainly possible to put your name on the products and brand them as your own just make sure that it is ok to do so before going that route, or just...

    I've been burned using western union as well. I like using Alibaba's escrow service as it seems to be safer. Dhgate.com only allows payments through their escrow. Same thing for Aliexpress.com as you pay directly to Aliexpress using your CC. In regards to the language barrier it's an issue...

    It would depend on how many you are ordering. I would take a guess and say the shipping is wayyyyy too expensive. I normally order products a couple thousand dollars at a time and spend a couple hundred in shipping costs via DHL. Have you tried to find the product on dhgate or aliexpress...

    Sorry but as I said my BS meter was going off like crazy. First you say it is a super hot selling product that is a slam dunk. Now you say you were selling 5-10 a week. Selling 5 a week isn't a hot selling item or a slam dunk. Which is why I called BS. I don't doubt that someone bought a 50 pack...

    I normally have the seller deal with al of that. He pays for whatever it takes to get it to my door. I just ask what would be the total cost including express shipping to get it to my address.
