Finding a reputable wholeseller

Hello, this might be kind of a wierd question, but here it goes. I was wondering if I could get some insight from anyone on where to find a wholeseller. I have spent weeks reaserching and trying to find a place to buy SONY PS3 SLIMS but I have had no luck. Just one scam after the next. I have looked all over the b2b website also. I am out of ideas. Can someone please point me in the right direction! I am really interested in starting up a business! Thank you for your time. Randy

Is It Worth It To Open A Store?

Hi. I will soon be purchasing over 300 individual jewelry pieces that I will be selling on ebay for roughly $5-$25 dollars each. Would it be worth my while to open up a store or just sell them on a regular listing?

Information needed!

I am new to e-bay, haven't sold one item and I am looking to sell something that I can sell. Adult items are different, however it seems that I'm going to have to sell something else. Does anyone have any clue how someone that is just starting can find a supplier without getting scammed by "drop shippers" like doba? Plus I wouldn't mind a little advice.

Finding sources - where to start???

I have been buying and selling on ebay for years. I have recently decided to become a more serious seller. I hope to create an actual business within the next couple of months. I would like to find a product source (other than my garage), for the items I sell. I am not opposed to garage sales, etc for start up, but where can I go after that? How hard is it to get product from wholesale distributers? Where can I find a reputable one? What's a minimum order? Or is creating your own product more profitable? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I have been an Ebay seller for many years now but it was just kind of for fun until now. I want to try and turn my Ebay store into a more profitable business.

SHOCK !!! The ugly DSR truth

The facts about DSR's is getting ugly. Almost impossible to keep a 4.9 and it is not possible to not get more than 0.5% ones or twos. People leave you low feedback on purpose just to jam you. Really !!! All of you in fairyland that drink the ebay koolaid are crazy. It happens. Since it was announced that the ebay best sellers can not get more than 0.5% 1 or 2 ratings I have received seven (7) ratings of 1 or 2. 100% of my items have FREE SHIPPING, 100% were shipped within 24 hours, !00% were exact as described, 100% received an email after purchase, a personal email thanking them when the item was shipped, and if it didn't arrive within a week a follow up email. In the past year I have shipped 100% of my items within 24 hours and have shipped FREE. Those DSR's are only 4.85 and 4.86. Am I leaving ebay. No. But these are the cold facts. Just wanted to share my story. Thanks.

Turbolister VS other selling tools (fee based)

I have been on eBay for awhile, but I am just now getting serious about selling on eBay. I am currently using Turbolister because it is free but I am thinking about switching to a paid seller tool (Blackthorne, etc.). I would like to take a poll here and ask everyone what tool are they using and why? I am having problems with TL duplicating listings and I am getting hit with double the insertion fees. Lauren

RSS Feeds - My new Variations listings are not included?

Since many of my products fit in the Variation listing rules, I changed just under 100 listings and now have them in three listings - BUT - these new listings are not included in the RSS feeds, therefore I ended up deleting nearly 100 items from being searched for off eBay. Depending on how they were searched for, most of these items came up in the first three or four results - now they are not available (via eBay links). I still have all of the items show up that I have listed off-eBay, but I would really like to know how I can get these listings to show up. One thought I had was to edit the OLD RSS feed with the products on them to point to the correct variation listing on eBay - then uploading to Googlebase. Is this my only alternative? Thank you, Paul

Payment Hold Contested and Won

Had an interesting situation I though I would pass along. Closed an auction yesterday for under $15.00 total. Buyer promptly paid and Paypal sent a note saying Ebay and Paypal were teaming together to make it safer for Buyers and Sellers and would occasionally put holds on itmes that met certain criteria. Being on Ebay for years now, I looked up the critera for "holding payments". I didn't fit even one of the requirements for this to happen. I wasn't new and under 6 months, it wasn't a high-priced item, my DSR's are high, no actions against me, and it wasn't a high-risk catagory. I e-mailed Paypal and asked them for the reason last night and first thing this morning (4am) the decision was reversed. If you have questions my fellow Ebayer's, just ask, you have nothing to lose. As I tell my children, you have to stand up for yourself because nobody else will. Happy Ebaying!

Fee Avoidance the good the bad and the ugly

As a seller on Ebay since the beginning I can tell you I have seen just about every incarnation of the sales model, I have seen ebay go through many changes as well sellers and buyers have changed over the years, however, the one thing that I have never participated in is fee avoidance. Fee avoidance If some of you do not know is the practice of avoiding Ebay fees by offering to do business outside the ebay business model this also includes shifting the cost of the item to the shipping of the item, for instance you would not list a Blue ray DVD player for a buy it now price of $2.00 and the shipping be $275.00 That would be fee avoidance. Yet you still see even accomplished sellers do this, When I see this type of behavior I will not as a buyer purchase anything from that seller. Excessive shipping fees is a way of creating Fee avoidance and should not be tolerated. Most recently I ran across an auction from a big seller and after making a purchase I found that the shipping was ten thousand percent of the selling price. I find that to be Evil, now I do not mind paying an average shipping cost but I refuse to pay any shipping cost that is so large as to shift the cost of the item to shipping for the purpose of evading ebay fees that is just plain wrong. I realize some will certainly view this differently and you are entitled to your opinion, but as far as building an ebay business this is not the way to do it you will sell more if your shipping fees are moderate and fair than if you try to take advantage of a buyer in this way.

bought phonics game twice both times sellers did not check

contents. It is super annonying!!!! and making me rethink if I want to buy on ebay anymore. first seller wanted me to contact company see if I could get replacements I just don't have time or desire to hang on the line to do that so I ate that auction. I bid again same game and yet again the darn thing arrived missing three large parts of the game (advertised as new never used??????) . I'm waiting a reply. They said they do refunds but I have to pay shipping..... So it looks like I'm out over 70 dollars and I still have no game. I was able to combine the games and now i"m only missing one piece but it' s an essential piece. So much for saving money. Check what you sell ,you will get repeat customers and more people using ebay via. word of mouth. A few more auctions like these and I know I'd rather pay full price then try ebay.

Has anyone else had customers send them gifts?

Yesterday I received a letter in the mail from one of my very good repeat customers. He LOVES puppets/puppetry, classic film and pop culture as much as I do. He usually buys up whatever stock of Kersa puppets that I have. I'm rambling because that's totally off the current subject...... He sent me an autographed poster addressed to me - katrina9799 - from Billie Hayes. Don't know who she is? Neither did I - until I googled her. She was witchie poo in the 1969 tv series HR pufnstuf and she played Mammy Yokum of the Lil Abner on the silverscreen. I LOVE HR pufnstuf and the Lil Abner characters! Now I will frame and hang that pix on my office wall! Then he sent a photo of a character Sam Beauregarde from Willie Wonka - a great film! Such a NICE person! The autographed pix of Billie Hayes cost him about $17.00 plus shipping to me...... Anyone else out there have any similar experiences?

shipping signature

Don't most shippers have a signature option that a seller could require a buyer to pay for to verify that an item got delivered? Does ebay frown upon that as well? As a seller it seems that would be our only proof that an item got delivered, especially with USPS. Does USPS flat rate have proof of delivery/signature as an added option? FEDEX and UPS would have some sort of record, so it shouldn't be an issue, right?. I'm new to this, so please bear with my goofy questions. How many use that? I guess it would depend on the value of the item, your customer base, past experience, etc. But from some of the horror stories I have heard about buyers false claims, etc, it seems to be one of the few means of defense.

OT - Firefox browser question

A few months ago I started using firefox in addition to IE. Had no luck looking around the firefox site to find an answer to my question, so maybe someone here can help. Since the very beginning (and I update firefox whenever I get the message that an update is available) many - but not all - of the links on most websites are highlighted in red and very difficult to read. If you don't know what I mean, imagine that someone has taken a red highlighting marker and marked the (Sign out) link at the top of the page. I have tried different browser settings, but to no avail. I would like to get rid of those red highlights, and I would also love to understand why some links have this red highlighting over the blue and some do not.

Some General Questions about Wholesale Companies

Hello Everyone, I have been interested in starting an ebay business, not necessarily a HUGE business, but something that will bring in some extra money every month. I've been selling things that I have and have had some luck, but for the most part, I have broke even. I'm wondering if I should start looking into wholesale items such as designer clothing, purses, and jewelry. I notice that this seems to be selling alot as well as makeup items. My questions are, what are the best companies to buy wholesale from? What is the MOST I should spend on a lot of clothing or jewelry to start off with? With all the fees now being placed on larger items, is it really worth it to do this part-time? I would love some feedback from some of the larger sellers, as well as some part-time sellers. Thanks!

I wonder if anyone else is bothered by what I think I read. On the new agreement between ebay and sellers, ebay will have the right to debit your paypal account if there is a dispute between a buyer and a seller, or if you give them another way, i.e. credit card, etc., they will debit that while investigating?????

Ducks in a row...

I have several sources of goods to market and a strong desire to sell on ebay. I am concerned about the following: Shipping: what is the best way to ship? USPS, UPS, etc. what level of service do most customers expect? next day, ground, etc. How important is cost? Ebay pushes "incentivises" "free" shipping from the seller, which means sellers absorb the cost. Anyone know what percent of sellers offer that? I don't plan on profiting from shipping, but why should I eat it? Those that have been doing this for a while have elaborate, sophisticated listings, stores, websites and many features. They have lower costs (powersellers) and a support network. I know, I know that sounds like whiny, crybaby stuff, but they also have automated responses to customers, and so much more. Does a simple, easy-going guy like me have a chance to compete? I can barely figure out how to make a listing. OK, I can do more than that, but still, it is very daunting. I would love to speak to an experienced ebayer, maybe 5 minutes, no more, just to see what the possibilities are (and the risks). As I read more and more about ebay selling I feel overwhelmed. Thanks, Bruce in Nebraska

Insight on Doba

Hi! everyone I recently signed up for a free 14 day trial of Doba through an eBay link. They were listed as one of their trusted and approved resources. I am a bit leery of drop shipping. I don't know if it's intuition on just first time jitters. The idea of paying for an item only after it is sold and leaving the packing and shipping to someone else does sound tempting. However, my concern is are they as good as advertised? Do they really aid in building the business as a strong but silent second party? Looking to someone out there with a little insight. Is Doba friend or foe? Are they snake oil salesmen preying on novice sellers? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ebay once again socks it to the sellers..

I am getting so darn sick of ebay. The newest (and I just saw it POP up whe I listed something) is with the shipping insurance starting week of Sept. 22nd. WE as sellers now CAN NOT offer insurance as an option. We either have to include it in our listing price (which will then cause the price to go up and then the fee to list the item to go up) or add it to the already high shipping price..oh and I love how they say we can not say in our listing that if insurance is not purchased we can not be help liable for items lost or damaged. WHAT!? Ebay..really. So we can not say this in our listing. WOW! Insane. Just not for the sellers anymore. Just for the money and the buyers cause their is NOOOO seller protection any longer on ebay. First they get rid of Neg. feedbacks that sellers can't leave to buyers that have wronged us and now this. wow. Think I will go to esty or other sites now cause this has been a bit to much to swallow. Ebay.. you SUX and you will see how many people think that and go else where.

Hello all. I have gotten some great advice in the past from the great people here, so I have come back for more. My wife and I have really enjoyed selling on ebay. It is more of a hobby than an income, but we would love to make it an income. We have been interested in going to the next level. Not quite to the point of a store yet, but just buying wholesale bulk and reselling online. The only thing is, how do you know what to buy and sell, and from who? I have done alot of reaserch, and the dropship thing does not appeal to me at all. Buying from wholesalers does, but how do you know who is a true wholesaler, and if your product will fly? Where do you look for a wholesaler? I would appreciate any and all advice from anyone from novices to veterans. Thanks!

Thank you - 1 year in and doing well

I just wanted to let everyone on this discussion board know just how valuable your suggestions are. We've been on eBay now for just a bit over a year. It was hard going at first but your comments really helped me out. I've incorporated many suggestions into our eBay sales process. We've earned our Power Seller status and have just received our 200th feedback. We are a manufacturer so having a retail program was new to us. At first, I had little corporate support since eBay orders are small, but because of your help and suggestions, eBay is now one of our "top customers". I'd like to expand to overseas sales but we ship via UPS which is quite expensive - our products are sizable. I'd like to find more brokers like USBuyer.com or specialty export houses that could save money on overseas shipments. If anyone has ideas on how to ship overseas at reasonable cost, I would love to hear it. Thank you all again for helping me out !

OT: Retirement plans?

Got this today in an email from a local group -- gotta love the attitude! Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting Well, for example, the other day my spouse and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and I said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break? He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a dumb _ _ _. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So my spouse called him a _ _ _ _ head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. Just then our bus arrived. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age. -Bob.V.46 Trading Assistant, since 1997!

I have checked all the boxes for "cross promotions" but nothing is showing up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Amy :~D

Google Not Allowing Feeds~Says Ebay Responsible Now?

Hello, We're happy to let you know that as of September 3rd, individual sellers on marketplaces no longer need to submit feeds to Google Product Search. Going forward, marketplaces will be responsible for submitting a feed of all their sellers' items, so we will be retiring your account to avoid duplicate entries on Product Search. eBay will also be responsible for ensuring that your feeds are up-to-date and compliant with our policies. The feed on ebay only has 80 items out of 140, did we miss something?

Auctioning Musical Instruments with Low Starting Bid

Recently, I started a low volume eBay business reselling used intermediate and professional (not student level) musical instruments using the auction form of listing. It seems that quite a few sellers in this specialty place a low starting bid of $1.00 when auctioning a high end musical instrument procured at a cost of $900 or greater. However, I do not understand how they can run the risk of incurring a substantial loss should the winning bid be significantly less that the cost of procuring the instrument. How can you run a profitable business while assuming this much risk? Thoughts anyone?
