    I personally use Priority Mail's free packages. It of course requires the use of Priority Mail which is more expensive but makes a great impression on customers. (I have people order an item Friday night and they receive it on Monday.)

    I have never had an issue with not having a retail location. I tell them i sell solely online and my address is my home and business address. It has not been an issue for me.

    Those are gross sales figures profit margins are around 30-40% of sales price so if I sell 150k over the next 2 months I should have 60k in profits.

    I'm totally bootstrapping this business and living off of some of the income. (I have a wife and 3 year old to support) That slows down my ability to scale to some extent. My total sales for November should be around 50-75k and December should be 100k or higher. That is assuming that I can get...

    If by catalogue you mean number of items listed, I had right around 10 different items listed at any given time.

    Well October is pretty much in the books. Sales for the month were right around $25,000. Should double that for November and be 2-3x October in Decmeber. Getting to be that busy time of year. If you have products that are selling better start stocking up for the big rush!

    Absolutely correct! The end goal should be to be completely off of eBay and Amazon with the majority of your sales %. You want to get the control factor back in line so that eBay and Amazon can't cut your business in half with nothing you can do about it. Testing samples through these venues and...

    If the rights to the product are owned by the seller on the importing sites they will allow you to brand it your own. You can of course ask them to make some tweaks to make a difference between your item and the one they are currently selling. You can probably just import the item and undercut...

    Just started using a new program for eBay called Quantity Manager. You input in your exact inventory and then can set a specific number to show on eBay. For instance, I have 100 of an item but that 100 will put me over the item selling limit. This program allows you to put in their system that...

    Besides shipping the items you can always sell through Craigslist (if you have it in your area) or advertise through newspapers etc.

    You pretty much answered your own question. If one seller can ship them to you for $16 and the other is charging $77 it's pretty obvious which one is trying to shaft you on Shipping. I always get multiple quotes from different sellers and that is the best way to tell who is over charging you.

    That is my next step. I am was hoping to have that up and running by this Christmas time but it probably isn't going to happen. Some family things came up and those things are more important than money. I still might just throw together a shopify site or something quickly but I don't want to...

    Get enough details about the product where you are comfortable. Ultimately it is your money that you stand to lose if the products are junk. The prices seem about normal where you can't compete with Chinese sellers but the US sellers are making about double of the purchase price. Many sellers on...

    There might be one seller out of the thousands that are actually selling a legit product that is a brand name. Most likely that is someone who is only accepting western union or direct money transfer. They are offering you something amazing but most likely will take your money and then send you...

    I normally give them a week or two. If no sales either my price is too high or there is no demand for the item. I would drop it 10-20% and give that price a week, then drop it another 10-20%. At some point you will either sell the items or donate them to goodwill. If you start selling them at a...
