I've been reading a lot about importing from China to resell in your local market via ecommerce.
I think I found a specific product that has potential within a specific electronics niche.
How would I test the product in my market before importing the minimum order from China? (100 units).
This is what i thought so far: finding sellers of the same product i want to import and offer them a dropshipping relationship --> already tried this, they didnt like the idea, they wanted me to make sales first and then buy from them to fullfill the orders so im thinking of doing that.
Im not looking to make a profit, just to break even or even lose a little bit of money on every sale to acquire the data i need.
Side note: i dont sell on ebay type of sites, i do mainly PPC, both search and display (i would price the product 65% higher than the ebay price). I was thnking about offering a help-thread about PPC, but then found Eskil thread which is great.
Thoughts?
