    1. These listings are auctions so that isn't the final selling price for this item. The seller might have a reserve set at $20 or even $100. 2. You and I can never compete with a China sellers on price. You beat them by shipping times, customer service, and quality of packaging/shipping. China...

    Sorry about the delay in answering. Had an allergic reaction to something and both my eyes were swollen shut for a few days. (Not fun having my wife drive me everywhere) 1. A debit card does come with fraud protection as well. If you order an item and it is never shipped etc you can call your...

    I've never had that issue come up. I don't know if the sellers don't care as long as they get paid or if they don't bother to check but it hasn't come up yet.

    In my opinion you didn't give this enough time to tell if it really will work or not. You lowered the price on Wednesday night. You did not have any sales for 2 days and called it a loss on Saturday morning. You do realize there are a TON of online purchases made over every weekend right? I...

    Fob would be the price without most of the shipping charges. A lot of sellers on Alibaba will have a "cheap" price and then kill you with astronomical shipping charges. I always ask for sample prices and prices when ordering in quantities of 100+ including shipping on both to my door. I want to...

    1. I'm a little lost with the whole"***" thing. It appears that you can sell both items, one under a specific name and another under their generic name. I wouldn't count on having exclusive anything from a company you are just starting out with. I have heard many stories from someone that had...

    Another tidbit for eBay selling. Use the best offer as a way to get more views/watches on your items. You can set best offer where it only allows offers in a certain $ range through to you or where all offers are decided by you. I have the price on one of my items set at $95. I am doubling my...

    I always do free shipping for a couple of reasons. 1. It automatically gives you 5 stars for shipping feedback. 2. People love getting things for "free". When you are looking for an item on eBay and you sort by lowest price it includes the shipping costs in your total cost anyway. So if I'm...

    I normally say I am the buying manager for XYZ company. We are looking to add some additional products to our product line and we are interested in X(whatever specific product you are looking to purchase). Before I am authorized to do a regular order I need do a test order of 25 pieces. After we...

    It could be your description or it could be your case is lost in the hundreds of other listings. There are tons of competitors selling that one item. In a product with that much competition you either have to be the cheapest seller so you get the top listing when sorted by price or you have to...

    Obviously you have more issues to deal with than US sellers. 25% margins aren't horrible considering all the extra expenses you have to deal with! You would have to do double the # of sales I so to make the same amount of money. Ultimately it is up to you to decide if the 25% margin is good...

    Fear of losing business to competitors is what keeps me going. Fear of living on the street is why I pay my taxes/house payment. Fear of the police or a ticket is what keeps people driving the speed limit. Fear of bad consequences is what keeps me from making bad decisions. Fear can be either...

    Fear is something that you will continue to fight throughout your entire life (and business life). I always get a little fear in me at this time of year. I import and resell online and this time of year I start to really increase my product on hand. I go from having a few thousand dollars of...

    Ahh i see the issue. In your instance it would be considerably more difficult to sell to a much smaller populace than in the US. People selling from China etc still get tons of sales on eBay.com so it certainly can be done. The issue of course is your increased shipping costs. You would have to...

    Well you have listed 2 of the 3 options. Option 3 is to start a site for Sweden comparable to eBay or Amazon. If that isn't feasible for you at the moment you could ask around to friends, co-workers etc. and see if there is another way to sell in your country.

    It is really up to you. I personally prefer "buy it now" listings so I know what my profit is ahead of time and can plan things out. The society we live in wants things instantly and buy it now provides that better than having to wait for an auction to end.

    Here is the reason I have an issue with the way you (Walter) have conducted yourself. I decide to join a dieting forum. I spend the next few days telling people how wrong they are doing their diet and offer to help them fix their diets. I tell them to avoid sweets and pop and that there is a...
