Instead of further hi-jacking Amails thread:

:thumbsup:


So after perusing this thread, I did what anyone would. I started looking through Alibaba, seeing something cool and then finding a billion other people selling them via Ebay or Amazon.
I finally found something that isn't really sold here and i've just fired off a quick price message to them. (I stole your enquiry template 😀 )

(Theres some currency conversion here, so it might be slightly off.)

I found a product which you can buy for $2 a piece with free shipping, which is £1.28-ish.
Theres two sellers on Ebay for £6.99 with free shipping.
One guy on Amazon £14.99 + £4.99 shipping, the reviews say it's not worth that.

The ebayers after shipping and fees and messing around going to the post office etc, I worked out they make £3 an item.

My idea is to sell it fulfilled by Amazon for £4.99, this gives me around £1.85 profit and no hassle. I think people prefer to be fulfilled by Amazon and I think the pricing is closer to what people would actually pay for it.

Theres a slickdeals type site over here and if this price was posted, I could shift the volume of units, i'd need to make some profit.

Can you ship from China straight to Amazon?
The UPC codes, you need a barcode first?


Anyway, thoughts?


This thread was longer, but my token timed out. :(
