    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Most items that I sell I profit $20+ on each. On a normal month I will do about 10 items a day. So 10 times $20 profit is $200 a day profit times 30 days is $6,000 a month. Some months will 10 grand profit other months will 7 or 8. It varies from month to month, During Christmastime volume and...

    I agree it is impossible to please all the idiots but I do all I can to minimize things idiots can complain about. Unless you have taken certain "precautions" if one account gets shut down for bad feedback so will the other one.

    Unfortunately people on eBay have a tendency to purchase items without reading the description then leaving negative feedback when they don't get it quickly. Honestly raising the prices wouldn't annoy buyers they just wouldn't buy the item. I could have had a friend do it but the issue is that...

    I don't normally do it but in a pinch (item is damaged that I sold already etc) I will. If you order on Amazon you can select that it is a gift and it won't come with the price you paid. It might come with your name I'm not sure but any item you send will have your name and return address as well.

    I just hit the end listing button on each of my products listing. To be honest, i really should have left them listed and just raised the price astronomically so if anyone bought I could just buy from Amazon and have them ship it. When you end your listings you lose your place in "best match" so...

    That is a great comparison. When you find a so-so product it's like finding the flakes and you start to get hooked. When you find a good selling product it's like your starting to find bigger nuggets. When you find a great product it's like hitting the mother lode! You cant wait to get up in the...

    That sucks! Unfortunately you have to spell out exactly what you want otherwise they send you what the have the most of (which is of course the unpopular colors). That's a bummer.

    Struggling to sell my properties

    REAL ESTATE 
    How is the curb appeal? How often do you mow the grass and weed whack? Did you do any landscaping to make the outside look appealing? Are the weeds pulled in the flower beds? There are so many variables that could be causing the lack of sale from location to the house needing staged that it...

    Dropping shipping from China – Chinese EMS any reliable/timeframe of shipping

    Don't do it. Order from China then resell fine, but drop shipping from there is just asking for trouble and upset customers. Every cheap shipping option will take from 14-30+ days to get to the US. Where are you selling these drop shipped items at? If your answer is eBay or Amazon hop on eBay...

    I cant say for sure without knowing more specifics but sometimes it takes a while for cheap sellers to sell out. I've even had competitors message me on eBay and say they were buying out the cheap competition so us with normalized prices could get sales! For some reason eBay draws in losers who...

    Have you tried raising your prices to a profitable level and let the cheap guys sell out? If you offer faster shipping you can charge more as well. Any product selling like crazy is not one to give up easily.

    You will sell circles around the China sellers at only 30% more. If you aren't selling the item at all you have a product that no one wants/needs, a seasonal item that is mainly sold during holidays, or people only buy the name brand of that product. Leave it posted and see what happens but also...

    Either sell it for a little less than all the competition or offer something they don't. (Faster shipping, freebie etc.) If you pick the right product you don't have to do anything at all. A hot selling item will fix all your possible mistakes. Let the lower priced competition sell out then...

    Can you use Alibaba escrow in Africa? All suppliers on Alibaba are supposed to accept payments theough escrow but some don't. I would try paying that way.

    It's not easy to import and resell for a profit for sure. Just read the hard times that people are having finding good reliable products with good margins. The thing is find something that people need that they arnt getting or that they are getting but not in the way they would prefer (no...

    I am all for more options to source from but I didn't want people to dump China suppliers for Liquidation.com because it seems "easier". There is a ton of competition on there for every good item.
