Hey guys, I figured I would make a progress thread about getting started with importing and selling on ebay. I feel like I am hopping on a band wagon but It's time I take action and this is my way of doing it just so I can get my feet wet. I have a problem with over analyzing and analysis paralysis. I have learned that if you stop and think instead of just doing at the beginning you will end up over analyzing. I don't have anyone to talk to or keep me accountable in my life right now so I figured this might help me stay on the right path even if no one reads it. And maybe I can help some people out even though there are plenty of threads on this topic.
So far this week I ordered my first product from dhgate. I did most of my research using terapeak and ebay completed listings. The numbers are there, and there is only one other seller in the US and he is selling about 10 per day right now. I could of got the product a little cheaper on alibaba, but dhgate kinda simplifies things I feel like as far as having the shipping included and all and I just wanted to dive in. I ordered 10 units just to test the waters out. I used dhl for shipping and they should be getting here by Thursday. I am already looking at a couple other products and the numbers are looking good so I should have some more orders before my first product arrives.
I am sorry for making another importing thread but I feel like this will help me out and maybe some other folks. Anyways I will be keeping this thread up to date as I receive my first shipment and any steps or thoughts I have as they arise. Thanks for your time.
