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
