    The best thing about the escrow service is that it helps reduce scammers. You can still get scammed but far less likely and a lot harder. Plus with aliexpress you can pay with your credit card so you are covered by your credit card too.

    Keep your current job and work around the clock getting a business running. I don't understand why people think it has to be an all or nothing proposition. I worked a full time job and started a business. You can too! You are making 85k a year. Take 50k a year and put it towards starting that...

    They are either non branded or Chinese branded. (Meaning some made up brand no one has ever heard of) If you have heard of the brand name then you probably shouldn't be importing it for resale.

    I've been doing this for a few years so it does get easier with practice. I am selling 25-35 items a day currently. Obviously Christmas time will be far more. Schedule for the day is similar to this 9-10ish get up. 10-11 do the packages that sold overnight 11-12 take packages from previous day...

    It depends on how late I stay up. I can normally get it done in a day or two. I stay up really late when I am needing to get new items. For my existing items I just email the supplier ask for a price for x amount of item Y and then pay once I get the total.

    Oh and for those who say this sort of business model doesn't work, I've found 2 brand new products in the last week in a completely different niche. They are looking to be quite profitable and pretty good niche. If they sell well on my site they will get their own site once I have 6-10 products...

    It certainly isn't for everyone. If everyone was the same or had the same strengths the world would be a pretty boring place. Good luck on your future endeavors.

    I've never read Walter's book so I can't speak from personal experience on the book but in the grand scheme of things what is $100 bucks? Get a part time job for a week and buy it. If I can learn 1 thing from a book it is worth the read. I just finished reading a book called "New Money Staying...

    I always order 10-20 of a product to help mitigate the shipping costs and to allow a good sample size. I tell the supplier I need the all in price from them to my warehouse including shipping. That way I can compare apples to apples with multiple suppliers. If they are all around the same price...

    The decision is really yours. Is it worth taking the chance of getting your product copied to get the sales? If you believe that your product will sell amazingly your best option is to set up a website and sell solely on there. With your own site no one will know your sales numbers or sales...

    Making mistakes, changing products, etc. is all a part of this. The more products you get the better you get at finding profitable ones. I still make mistakes. Normally it's because I get too cocky and order 100 of an item because I "know" it will sell good. I still have all 100 sitting haven't...

    What do you tell people when they ask where your sources

    Best answer is: I'm sorry I'm not in charge of sourcing products I just work in customer service.

    I don't know how this works with the loan repayment etc. but why not change your major to something that would be useful in your new business? Learn marketing, coding, or a whole host of other things that could be useful. Why would you quit going to college if you have no clear direction after...

    I have been wanting to quit for the last year or so. Last Christmas was absolutely insane and quitting was a high thought on my mind. I have a wife, a daughter, and a baby on the way. I wanted to be completely sure that the business would support us before quitting my regular job. I am not the...

    I'm planning on starting using a fulfillment center before this holiday season. I have to see if FBA is best or if going with another fulfillment company is better. I used shopify to set up my website. They charge a fee per month but I don't have a lot of HTML knowledge and their setup is...
