    If you have 46 total feedback that is 100% then you are fine. Most people don't like buying from people with feedback total below 10 and % of less than 98-99%. As you get more and more feedback people will trust you more and your sales will go up, but that simply takes time. Techinically eBay...

    What you could do is open an eBay store for your branded products and market specific items and then just list the other ones normally. Having like items is good because you can sell multiple items to 1 person, but even if you have unrelated products mixed in it honestly won't hurt you at all...

    Post pickup is fine. What I was referring to was someone selling an item on eBay and then having the person meet for pickup. eBay has specific shipping for local pickups but if you say you are shipping it you better do so. I sold something on eBay to a person that was within 10 minutes of me...

    Awesome answer! That is a perfect example of how to sound professional and get the information you need. Many times if you sound professional in your email you will get quicker responses and better prices. @NaPal Most Alibaba seller receive hundreds of emails per day. Does your email stand out...

    I normally look at the buy it now listings for that item. eBay only allows 1 buy it now per seller on a specific item. So if I'm selling a 50 foot hose I can only list one buy it now listing with multiple quantity for that hose. So if there are 10 buy it now listings than I have 10 competitors...

    Most of the times the minimums are quite flexible if you sound like you are a business. Explain to them that you are adding this product line to your store and want to purchase 50 of them at this time. You will of course be coming back to them for more on a regular basis and with increasing...

    200 views with only 2 sales probably means you are either priced too high, your description doesn't give them the info they need to purchase the item, or your item just naturally draws a lot of lookers. Just looked at my items stats and the ones i currently have priced above the competition...

    I don't give my pics a white background. I use a tan blanket on the floor, put my item on top, and take the pics with my iPhone. Personally I think doing it that way helps to show people that you have the actual item and didn't just pull the pic off google.

    Yep without the controlling the website you are certainly at their mercy to some extent. Definitely a good idea to not put all your eggs in one basket. The good thing about retail on eBay or Amazon is you can funnel your customers to your own personal website and then you have far more control.

    If I understand you correctly, you are going to sell items that you don't have on hand. That is not a good business model for someone starting out. You can make money through drop shipping without a doubt but there are many possible issues as well that will be very difficult. Samples take time...

    I think there are getting more and more traders on Alibaba all the time. I've been able to find products way cheaper on aliexpress and even dhgate sometimes. You just have to keep messaging them until you find the manufacture or manufactures. It's basically just sifting through the crap to find...

    Absolutely correct! Takes time to find products and to test them. Takes time to learn the ropes. Sounds you have a great plan of attack and are doing well working it!

    Supplier 1 might not necessarily be a middle man but he is certainly boosting profits by overcharging on shipping. If both suppliers have been on Alibaba for the same amount of time I would just go with the cheaper option. If supplier 1 has been on there for considerably longer than #2 go back...

    I believe the issue is what your searching is the completed listings. Since that sellers listing is still active it is not considered "completed". The best way is to search through the active buy it now listings for that item and see what the quantity sold is. You can then go to completed...

    Samples are just to see the quality of the items and see how they sell. If you order 10 of the items and sell all ten in a couple days then you know you have a decent seller and can order then order in bulk. I normally order enough of each product I carry to make it through approximately 2-3...
