    I offer a 100% guarantee on my products. If the customer is not happy they can return the item for any reason. eBay and Amazon will let customers return items for any reason anyway so play it up as a great guarantee! My best advice for complaints is answer them as quickly as possible and always...

    1. I have not yet made a brand for myself outside eBay so you would be better finding that guy and woman you mentioned and ask them that question. 2. I would send a coupon/advertisement in each package that I sold on eBay and Amazon. The coupon would give my website and offer a discount for a...

    I would look for a different supplier! If everyone else is selling them for $6 each and he wants $29 there is obviously a problem. On a sample order your shipping will be higher but your purchase price shouldn't be 5x as much! I always look to get 5-20 items as a sample depending on the price...

    You can get cheaper prices on alibaba but aliexpress already has the price and shipping there for you so you don't have to contact a single seller. It saves you time and allows you to know quicker if a product will work or not. For a sample aliexpress isn't a bad choice. Once you have tried an...

    Great job getting back on the horse and going back after it! When I started I had many of the same issues (ordering way to much without testing first etc.) You will still have those even when you have been doing it a while. All I look at is that is another bad product closer to finding a great...

    I don't waste the time or money branding anything to start out. Why take the time and effort to brand something when you have no idea how it will sell? If you find a great seller and are ordering hundreds or thousands a month then you can talk with the factory about putting your brand on it...

    Normally what's in the description wont be searched for so you don't have to worry about keywords etc. there is a way to search in descriptions as well but hardly anyone on eBay uses it. Don't have a one sentence description! Even if it is a brand new item you need to write a couple of...

    I am all for anything you can do to drive people to your listing but the only thing i do is make sure to use all the keywords in the title possible. Don't waste keywords on words such as "new, refurbished, free shipping, etc etc. If I am selling a pair of men's jeans i use the title "Men's...

    I currently don't use FBA simply because I like to ship things out as fast as possible. (Within hours) I will at some point go to doing FBA so I can free up my time for other things. I think if you are just starting out you should do the shipping yourself to get the hang of responding to...

    Plus a lot of people will pay a lot more to get it from a US seller than from China. You add value by quick shipping and get way more sales because it is coming from the US. You also add value by answering questions as quick as possible. I have the eBay app on my phone and answer questions...

    I never ever ever recommend drop shipping from China! I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to check the quality of the items personally. Every company I have come across in China that would drop ship uses the slowest shipping in the world. I'm talking 30+ days for the customer to...

    Justin hit it perfectly. I never order a sample of one item. I normally order 5,10, or even 20. If it's a lighter product the shipping increase will be small and it's hard to test the market with just one item. So if you get them at 17 each and get 10 plus I'll guess $50 in shipping you are...

    Honestly it takes 2-3 minutes to make a listing. I always do buy it now with multiple quantity so one listing for all of the quantity of that one item. If the listing ends cause I'm out of stock etc all I have to do when I get more is is find one that sold hit relist and it's relisted in 15...

    I go to active buy it now listings and go into each listing. Most people will have multiple quantity available and already sold. That will let you see how many of that one item that particular person has sold on that listing. Then you can go to the next competitor and do the same thing. It can...

    Honestly, I have never used any course etc and the only forum i go to is this one. I started importing out of necessity when I couldn't find a good job in college that would work with my schedule. I scoured the internet and found dhgate and started ordering. To show how stupid I was about...

    There is money to be made in almost all products it is just a matter of how the long the product cycle lasts. Some items will always be in demand, (a few of the items I currently sell) and some items will only have a good selling cycle of 6 months to a year. (some other products i currently...

    When I started I didn't have anything at all besides a seller account and a credit card. I do have an LLC now that I use. Don't get bogged down with paperwork etc as an LLC can take a while to complete. Get started finding products and selling them and then you can go from there. I am obviously...
