    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    Amazon is super strict with their metrics! Make sure you get everything shipped as fast as possible and make sure you sell good quality items. If your items break quickly Amazon has their A-Z return policy that will kill you. Too many returns and they will shut your account down so fast it will...

    I think that would be a great item to hit. You know there are already sales and worst case scenario you sell them for what you paid for them. Depending on the price point of the item you can get considerably more by simply putting "US Seller" in your title. Tons of people hate buying from...

    A lot of people do prefer to order from US sellers simply because of customs/shipping delays. A lot of Chinese sellers have really screwed over international sellers. The China sellers ship by snail so 30-40 days from purchase to receiving the item. It has really turned off a lot of people to...

    Normally products like that have higher margins and less competitors simply cause of the difficulty of shipping fragile items. All you can do is make sure it is packaged as good as possible and if it's an expensive item be sure to insure it during shipping.

    I normally use eBay to check for competitors as I can just type in the item and see how many listings there are for that item. Then you just have to check those listings and see if they are all the same sellers or how many different ones there are. If it is worth it to do it on eBay then Amazon...

    Yes you do pay for the convenience. Prices can vary depending on the product though. Some products are cheaper on dhgate than on alibaba so it pays to check both sites for products.

    I love dhgate simply because of the simplicity involved. You don't have to message sellers asking for shipping costs or for MOQ to be lowered. It really is a good site.

    Hmmm that's odd I've never come across an issue with selling things as New. You are correct about a brand new account being a lot of hoops to jump through. It could be very annoying. You can get your money faster than 21 days. It is released 3 days after delivery is confirmed. If you ship out...

    Yeah eBay can be a complete pain sometimes but it is worth it to jump through all the hoops. The exposure you get for your items can be invaluable.

    That's about what I pay for shipping for samples as well. Double of that shipping is obviously them trying to make money on your shipping.

    I am going to scale this like crazy! My goal is to double total sales in the next year and then double that. It is easily attainable, I just have to find more products, rinse and repeat! Turning this into a million dollar PROFIT each year shouldn't be more than 5 or so years in the future.

    Great job finding a product to make money on! Doubling your money is something most people would never even dream of finding in normal retail etc. so be happy! Just one thing, a lot of the minimum quantities are very flexible on Alibaba. Message the sellers and ask. Most of them will drop...

    Yeah $70 is wayyyyyy too much! I have ordered $100 worth of product weighing prob 20 lbs. the $100 included DHL shipping costs. I have run across that tons of times on Alibabaa. I think sellers on there put cheap prices to get attention and then way overcharge shipping to make up for the lower...

    A lot of people will quote you a cheap price and then gouge you on the shipping costs. I always ask what is the total price including express shipping via UPS, Fedex, or DHL. That way I can compare the total costs versus other suppliers. Of course, the more you order the cheaper per item...

    I have never used a customs broker. I always have my products sent by DHL or fedex and they take care of customs. I get a quote for an item including express shipment to my door. I let them worry about customs.

    I use normal text separated into paragraphs for the description. In my opinion it looks far more professional than all the crazy graphics etc. If people have already clicked into the listing you don't have to draw their attention. You just want to come across as business like and as professional...

    If they get caught with multiple accounts eBay will close all of them because that violates their terms.

    I have used their escrow without any problems. I wouldn't use T\T until you have been using a manufacture for an extended period of time and feel comfortable they will not screw you.
