    Sorry to everyone who asked questions in the past 2 weeks. I took my family on vacation to Michigan where there was no internet or cell access. I guess my wife wanted some time where I looked at her more than eBay lol. If there are any questions I missed or that you had further questions on...

    You can order on Alibaba and just tell the supplier you want a quote with DHL shipping or other shipping. That way you don't have to deal with the sea freight and you can order in much smaller amounts than the minimums they have listed.

    I did Liquidation.com when first starting. Can make a decent amount of money for sure if you find the right product. The issue is you are limited in products you can sell to what they have at the moment. When you order products from China you literally have millions of options.

    So you are concerned about protecting your DHL shipping account but not concerned about handing hundreds of dollars in cash to someone with no recourse if they simply walk away?

    Great advice! Don't buy multiple things from one seller as it will only count as one feedback. Also don't go overboard buying tons of .99 items. eBay frowns on feedback manipulation and it you are buying tons of cheap items on a new account it could be viewed like that.

    On Alibaba I want companies that will accept paypal or accept Alibaba escrow(which all seller are supossed to accept but in reality many don't) Dhgate and Aliexpress both are paid to their escrow and then released to the seller after you receive it. Escrow doesn't stop you from being scammed but...

    I did iPhone and other cell phones chargers as well as cases for all of them. The market just got so saturated you were like one of a million dogs hoping to be picked for a new home. Wayyyyy to much competition and then people started cheating and putting a cleaning cloth on the same listing as...

    It is probably close to 100 but honestly I've never sat down and counted the trial products that didn't make the cut. The products i stock probably 7 of them make up 90% of my sales and the other 8 or so make up 10%. It is passive in that once you find products you don't have to go out and work...

    It really does depend on the product as other people have said. You can sometimes get double the price over China sellers and sometimes 50% more. It varies depending on how fast they need the item. (Something they have to have to fix a product vs something that is just an impulse buy) Around...

    Probably close to 10% of my tests are what I would term a failure. That number has dropped considerably as I have become more experienced in looking for products. The 10% that I term failures are ones that I order and get samples of and then either don't sell for way too long (a couple months)...

    Sounds good except one thing. I would look for multiple products that way if you receive one that doesn't sell etc you don't have to go back into research mode. It is easier to get in the research groove and find 5 products than to find 1 then email suppliers then pay then wait and get the...

    I just use the eBay app for iPhone and iPad. I don't use HTML or anything special in the description just normal text. It makes the listing look more down to earth and mom and pop type store. People tend to be more forgiving if you make a mistake once they realize it is one person selling...

    It is an issue with dhgate but just hit it up with other words and see what happens. Dhgate is super strict on keywords so if I type in tooth it will only hit listings with that word in it.

    Sorry it's been so long since your post but I took a week vacation to spend time with family. (No internet for me my wife forbid it lol) IMO i would just search for another product. I always try to test out all the products I receive to make sure they do what they are supossed to. You are...
