Where do people get cheap product to sell on Ebay?

Did you actually get burned or stuck with product?

 

a lil of both i had to turn around and sell it close to nutting to 99 only but hey that's life

 

ebay is not a good place to make profits any more as their are soooo many asian sellers flooding the market with their cheap fake junk...

I have tried to sell a lot of things in the past, basically to even make a little bit of profit you need to have connections with suppliers in hong kong, even though their are a bunch of people who are already selling via these suppliers and have better deals.

Their is still money to be made in niche items on ebay but.

 

I know that quite a Spanish eBay sellers have connections with people that work over at the port where all the stuff comes in, basically they go there at night and steal everything and sell it on eBay or to people they know.

 

lol well then you will get a really good deal but how long will that last?

 

I thank you for the great topic its something I was wondering myself..Thanks for the tip on the Alibaba.com website its a great resource.

 

just so you goys know to be able to make good money off buy stuff from alibaba.com you have to be a great bargainer if your not and you don’t really know what the product its worth you will get ripped off.

 

My spanish friends do the same thing, they steal from their work and sell it on ebay, whatever they sell it for, they make profit. Its getting hard for honest people to make much profit on ebay.

 

well if they steal the its 100% profit I love that I wish I could do that used to but don’t work there no more

 

BEWARE of alibaba.com
Extremely few are legit, extremely few...
I suggest you to do business with one of them, send them your money. I think you have to try at least once
You've been warned...

 

Codythebest i agree

 

But if your caught, your screwed.

 

My wife has taken over our eBay business. Once it got up and going, I got a little bored but she has really stepped up to the plate.

She regularly visits Cosco, Sams, Wal-Mart and many other stores looking for mark downs, close outs, or special sales. She does really good with womens clothing also. We've done this long enough that you get the feel for good buys. We ought to, we lost enough money in the beginning!

We also have a huge outlet mall about 20 miles away. She is on every single stores mailing list. When one store is having a big sale, she'll check eBay and if there are bargains to be had, she'll be the first in line when they open.

I agree that it's a pain in the a$$ to do ebay this way (different listings), at least it was for me, but her profit margin is way out there on many of these goods. A lot more than dropshipping.

She also makes the garage sales on Thur. and Fri. plus Storage lien sales. She has her system down!

What I’m saying that ebay its a lot of work for the money that you make unless you have someone on the inside or u steal the product

 

It is better to build your own product. You can get 100% profit. find..a very nice niche and do it

 

True but he’s looking into make loads of money off quick sales turning products for a profit at least that what everyone here is trying to do

 

How can you make product? I have hard time thinking about it and i dont have any talants . Give some ideas?

 

I Completely agree with that.

 

If you happen to try Alibaba, make sure you have a very strong spam filter.

 

Hence the name "Ali Baba" aka The Prince of Thieves
Anyway, I have never tried it personally but a friend bought some stuff there and did not get scammed.
