    What are some overlooked business markets because of the startup capital required?

    IDEA QUESTION 
    Better still, with money available, start or buy a business and after proving profitability SELL franchises. See my thread: Starting a business with the intention of selling franchises. One major point I have often made on the subject of franchising is SELL don't BUY franchises. Walter

    if anyone have questions about importing from china i would like to answer

    For new importers it is risky to just search those B2B sites without understanding how they work. I suggest to @Preciousebuka530 that he has a good look at my AMA. The first rules you need to learn are: Don't rely on the rating symbols, such as Gold Supplier, Diamond, etc. Don't rely on...

    PayPal cancels account for password issues

    QUESTION 
    I would like to see a thread with alternatives to PayPal, suitable for occasional sales of eBooks to buyers that in the majority of cases only make a one-off purchase until they see that I have published a new book. Walter P.S. Congratulations to LexDeville, but beware PP's access to your bank...

    PayPal cancels account for password issues

    QUESTION 
    I can add to the horror stories. I have frequently been locked out of my PayPal account. Recently it has been happening almost every time I try to log in. I use my well known password, and when their robot says it is wrong, I have to request a verification code via text because they don't...

    where do you find your chinese supplier? As an importer

    Hi Ada, It seems to me that if you can find companies that have an export license that will be a good starting point, whether they have a website or not won't matter. Can you do that? Walter

    Welcome to the forum. I suggest that before exploring Alibaba for suppliers, you should have a look at my AMA thread: Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist. You should at least read the first 5 posts and then start at the end and work backwards. Those...

    Life in the 50s and 60s. I thought the best place to recount what life was like for me, my mother and sisters in the 50s was to post a description of our situation in the early post WW2 days. You can find it here: Walter Hay, Imp/Export Extraordinaire (Vandalay Industries) Walter

    After answering a question in the thread: Business is easy and it affects forum participation from heavy hitters about what life was like in the 50s and 60s I decided to add to it but I thought the appropriate place was here, and that I would start with my mother and sisters' move to the big...

    It's always a pleasure to hear from those that I have helped. Although I identify myself as a world citizen because I have traveled extensively and lived for sometimes long and sometimes short periods in the USA and UK, I am an Australian, and that is where I have chosen to settle down...

    In answer to the last question, I say a resounding YES. I can't say that I need the forum, but since I found it in 2014, I have greatly enjoyed participation. I am retired, long past my use by date, but have always been a workaholic, which probably contributed to my urgent need of heart surgery...

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    I like this idea. I have sold without a RE agent every property I have owned. The last one was listed with an agent for a very long time because I was otherwise occupied, and finally I advertised on a Sale By Owner site and sold the property within a few weeks. For the sale of one of my...

    Hi Hanabi Thank you for your reply. I was not suggesting that cosmetics that contained the chemicals referred to should not be made or sold, nor did I suggest that warnings should be included on cosmetics labels. Rather, I was expressing my opinion that I would not apply to my skin any product...

    Selling on Amazon vs Website

    I have frequently suggested at least a partial solution to the dilemma of lack of control when selling on Amazon. Its success depends on getting around the Amazon TOS regarding contacting your (THEIR) customers. This how you do it: First set up your website. Make it attactive. Possibly offer...

    @Frost, It seems that you don't have a website, but if you are using Shopify you can simplify the whole process by using Oberlo, which is their dropship program. I suggest that you look up Shopify/Oberlo and see how it works.. It certainly won't link you to vendors on Alibaba, because...
