Legitimate Wholesale - List How to be an eBay Wholesaler

If you really want to work from home and sell products on



eBay it's going to take hard work. Don't think you're going



to be able to work a couple hours a week and make a living,



if you are doing this because you don't like to work you can



forget about it, it won't happen. If you are willing to work



hard however, you can forget about making a living on eBay,



instead you can worry about making an absolute killing on



eBay!







There are many different options to consider when starting



out. First you need to decide what you want to sell. I know



we all want to have a complete online store of things to



sell but for now you need to pick a couple of products, or



one specialized area. For example if you are into fitness,



like myself, you might want to start researching stability



balls, or dumbbells, or even weight benches. If you stick to



an area you know and understand you'll be able to find



better values and write better reviews. The more passionate



you are about an area the better you'll do because people



will see you as an expert in the field and trust you more.







Next you need to decide where you are going to get your



products. You need to make sure you are getting your



products from the manufacture or as close as possible. Every



hand the product goes through cuts your final profit margin.



So make sure the wholesale you're looking into is a real



wholesaler and not a distributor or you won't get the



wholesale price you want.







There are a couple of different options for legitimate eBay



wholesalers. You can drop ship, which means you don't have



to carry an inventory. You list a product and sell it the



drop ship source then takes a small percentage and ships it



to your customer.







Although this seems like the easy option, there are a couple



of disadvantages to drop shipping. First you don't get to



keep as much profit as you may want or need. Second it's



hard for you to guarantee your service, if a product is on



back order and the drop shippers doesn't inform you, you



could end up with a bunch of angry customers. You generally



have to handle of customer service issues even though you



have no control over the drop shipper.







Customer complaints could easily be the end of someone



trying to get started. Drop shipping is the best option for



someone that cannot afford an inventory, but be aware of the



problems that could occur.







Another option is carrying a small inventory so you can



guarantee service. The best option if you can afford it and



your wholesalers will allow it. The problem is many



companies want you to order way more than you can afford or



want to carry to get the best discount.







The final option would be to buy in mass quantities receive



the best discount and keep the most profit. The downsides



are having enough money to pay by the truckload, storing the



product, and ensuring that you sale and don't get stuck with



anything.







Now that you know everything there is to know about



wholesalers you need to decide which one is right for you.



You will need to decide on a legitimate wholesale list.



Since you already have an idea of what you want to sell



don't sign up with any "eBay wholesaler." If you've been



researching this for a while you understand how hard it is



to find a legitimate wholesale list. There are a lot of



scams out there so you need to be careful. Many eBay



wholesalers are going to make you pay a small fee for their



wholesale list but it shouldn't be an excess amount. My



wholesale list cost about $70 for a lifetime membership. You

Before you join make sure they that the suppliers can and



will cater to your needs as an eBay seller, otherwise you're



business is going to fail. Don't let them ruin you, before



you get started.
