    Missing Something - Need Your Perspective

    HOT! 
    As others have said, this is a product problem. Your product is probably way too similar to your established competitors, without any reviews whatsoever you are not going to take sales away from them. Think of ways to differentiate your product is the key, you are simply wasting too much time...

    It is not a long term thing, but at least if you do it correctly it will give you the starting cash to build a real business, so just do it for the easy money.

    China + Asia in October? Canton Fair + Travel.

    MEETUPS 
    I can understand okish and can speak a little bit, but I wouldn't be too confident to speak face to face with a supplier. Luckily nowadays it is very easy to communicate via the likes of WeChat or QQ so I can just type Chinese or use voice chat, which is more than good enough.

    China + Asia in October? Canton Fair + Travel.

    MEETUPS 
    I was raised in HK initially, but then moved to the UK when I was 12, but has moved back to HK recently. Part of the reason to come back to HK is because I am running an e-commerce business, so being accessible to China and knowing the language are great advantages over my competitors.

    Made $6,900 Importing From China and Reselling on eBay.

    SOURCING AMA 
    Well your OP post and title says you have made $6900 over a few years, so why are you suddenly claiming that you have made more than 35k+? And the point is $35k+ is not even a big figure. I don't go proclaim myself as an expert and start teaching people as I know I am not an expert at all. I...

    Made $6,900 Importing From China and Reselling on eBay.

    SOURCING AMA 
    Sorry I simply think you get way ahead of yourself. I am very far away from being an e-commerce guru and I have made more than $6900 within 2 months selling ethical goods. You took a few years to make $6900 with a large percentage of profit from fakes and you are trying to sell a course teaching...

    Not wanting to hijack this amazing thread, but may I know how heavy is your shipment?

    Ridiculously High Sample Fees

    RANT 
    Ah I do it slightly different. I order 5 units each on the product I like, and I plan on selling them on multiple channels to test the demand. Because I think if I only have 1 product, there is no way I know the demand since there are no repeat orders.

    Ridiculously High Sample Fees

    RANT 
    So is it normal to make a huge loss on the sample products these days? I dont mind just to break even or making a small loss on the first batch, but to make a huge loss right from the beginning...maybe this is what I have to get used to.
