1.5/1.90 that is a pretty slim margin, especially if it is eaten by marketing costs.
Can you do something on the price you are paying for the product. Different vendor/producer, higher volume discount,...?
Sometimes chinese sellers pose as producers, and in reality they are just a man in the middle.
If you have someone locally who you trust, try to arrange that he could visit the factory.
If your seller refuses, he is probably just another vendor.

The worst thing i heard was that there were 3 vendors between the producer and the buyer, almost quadrupling the price.

£1.50 is cost of a click from Amazon PPC, today is it has cost me £.1.80 per click. My margin is £5.50 per unit. The problem is more competition on Amazon and the cost for a paid click on Amazon has doubled.

I have contacted quite a lot of manufactures or companies posing as manufactures on Alibaba, at least 30 I think. This gave me a good idea of the price range. I am sure I could do a bit more work on looking for more manufactures.

@mazo thank you but I have only just started. Perhaps I chose a niche that was too competitive to start. The good thing is that I have come up with more ideas just by learning my niche and being in the space. Im sure I can find a product that will work well. I will carry on selling on Amazon but my next focus will be exploring ways to sell on other platforms, including my own.
