Believer, if you just do a forum search for mobile phones you can find a few threads that have already covered this topic. Salehoo is a good place to start looking for places, but there not going to do your homework for and search each supplier for your specifications. Best of luck with your search. -

My advice would be to stay away from dropshipping and as others mentioned do your research.
Dropshipping is the 'easy way out' and is not that rewarding if at all, depending on the product. You can make much more if you source the product yourself. And sourcing is not that difficult at all. Just takes a bit of time.
If you're not wanting to source yourself then maybe pay some one a fee to source for you. -

:shock: You haft to look at hundred of web sites and use some of the links on those sites to find others. It's a pain but you just haft to sit and look all over.
I want to get into the hip hop clothing market. There are plenty of real and fake items out there.
You just need to pick an area you want to work and go looking for things.
I found one bulk sale page that has tons of stuff, but you've got to have 1k to 2k to bid. The lots are for large quanties and the indivual item price is way cheep, but the number of items drives the price up.
For now I'm buying small and selling enough to get the big bucks I need to bid in bulk. :D -

Salehoo has tons of links to wholesale sites but as we all know selling on ebay can be tough due to the same wholesellers selling the same stuff they offer us on ebay for less. So In turn you have to compete against the same people you buy from. Yes salehoo has great links but its up to you to do the research.
If salehoo did all the work for you they would be charging alot more then they do.
Just research as much as you can before deciding to buy. :DWholesale Directory by SaleHoo

Well, here we are becuase I bought alot of hype. I have been a member of ebay for many years, and I am also the owner of another website that has enormous traffic related to auction sites, but I won't name the site here. The reason for my response to this question is, becuase I agree with his opinion. I am getting prepared to request a refund. These sites that quote drop shipping and or wholesale, obviously don't understand the meaning of wholesale. Wholesale is when you can make 40% profit on a product, not 2%. Ebay and other auction site sales are killing the retail industry and keep internet prices low. I can buy an IPod on ebay cheaper that I can buy one from any wholesaler listed within this website, No suprise there!
Before I go on, I should mention that most people that post websites or links to good deals on here are scam artists. No good ebay seller that knows what they are doing will reveal they're sources to everyone else, that would be rediculas. So far I haven't found not one good deal from any website posted here. Not to mention the lead ad to get people involved in this program this week was a Playstation 3, and not one person here can get one or sell one for wholesale, but the advertisement posted for this website says you can get them and at wholesale prices. [edited]. So, I hope that the admin to this site responds to my claims, because I am getting tired of these ripp off ads for wholesalers that don't deliver. I hope as the admin to this site you can post exact locations of PS 3's wholesale costs and where to get them, or I plan to post a seriously negative article about your website, on my website, and you can expect my website has a hundred times the traffic yours does.
I will thank you in advance for taking this seriously.

Well Steve Thanks for that Really Big Post. Too bad you didnt realize you answered Your Own Post in the quoted text above, without any need of anyone else replying.Honestly, does anybody have ever made profits using SaleHoo website to sell on e-bay?

Steve
Now realize this and add this to your big traffic website which I doubt you have due to the fact that your here looking for a hard to market products.
Note: That ebay is a WHOLESALE MARKETPLACE. And many items that are high demand sellers sell for lower then wholesale. Why do you think millions of shoppers go to Ebay every day? If they could find it cheaper at any online store in 1 item increments then they would just froogle search it and never buy from ebay.
And why would you be looking for IPODs OR PS3's. If your the experienced Ebay seller you claim to be you would know that the initial release of the PS3 Was Sold Out before the Ship docked in the USA.
We advertise the links to companies that sell PS'3 Consoles and Ipods. But any person that has half a brain to read or watch the news knows that PS3 Console wont be avaliable in large numbers untill after christmas. So your saying that with your years of selling experience on ebay, You decided to buy a membership with us to get the hardest to aquire item of the season based on the sole hope that our suppliers had them to sell to you.
When we posted the AD for the PS3 there was no falsification of the information within the AD. We do know suppliers that sell them.
We have thier information and thier links. But right now due to supply and Extremely High demand they only have the JAP models avaliable they sold thier US versions out to members within minutes of the initial Announcement.
As I have stated in countless posts Before. Too many sellers selling the same high demand items on ebay are driving prices below Wholesale. If you want to sell those items and make a profit then buy them and sell them through your local paper.
Wholesale prices are designed to sell to retailers. Not the average joe that wants to sell On ebay. You can buy products wholesale alot cheaper then wal-mart or best-buy and sell them in your local paper quickly without even thinking about ebay.
You want to make money on ebay with these items then spend the money to buy direct from the manufacturer at thier 5,000 or 10,000 unit minimums.
Otherwise you can buy wholesale and find a product that is more convenient to purchase and has the ability to sell with greater profit.
We are a Wholesale Supplier Source. We do exactly what we advertise and do It very well.Wholesale Directory by SaleHoo

I completely agree with stmiller42. It's not about PS3, iPod, etc. It's about finding the right wholesale prices on Salehoo for about any products available. I know it's hard to sourcing for suppliers even with a team of people working 24 hrs a day. But not the quantity that matter to me -

Okay here we go again. I know the post was large, but I guess it was not large enough. Becuase I assumed you would jump to different conclusions than you did, as far as my knowledge or experience. As far as the website, well lets put it to the test, since you don't believe me. I was planning to post a large article about Walmart this week, but instead I will delay it, to post article about your site instead. My experience on ebay is mostly from a buying perspective but I have sold 30,000 in product in the past three months. I do not have alot of experience in direct sales on ebay. However, I spend about 20,000 a year on ebay. My experience in retail sales is extensive. I have been selling in the retail industry for 30 years. I am presently the CEO for the largest E911 communications company in the state. I also maintain 60 websites. My goal here, is to simply give you a since of my personal experience and knowledge.
Bottome line, common sense told me not to pay for access to your site, but I payed for access for the same reason I buy products on ebay, and that is to provide information to the consumer about fraud and false advertising.
As you said NO ONE has access to PS 3's, I know that, That is not the point! THE POINT IS that you are advertising a product to the consumer, that you CANNOT PROVIDE, and then tell the customer ( ME) that I should know better. Well the people buying your ad, don't always know better. The average consumer isn't all that knowledgeable.
[Edited]
EBAY= NO such thing as a product that isn't high volume. If the product you are selling isn't high volume such as Ipod etc, then there isn't enough profit to be bothered with it. That IS COMMON SENSE. ANy product that has that type of potential, is not being sold by one of your wholesale links. These types of products are rare and have limited access. NOT FOUND on the internet.
Thanks again can't wait to see if you believe me next week.
Thanks

Take the PS3 for example. We advertise it at 'from $810' and it is available at this exact price (why darer than RRP you ask? - supply and demand, they are selling on eBay for more than $1500 and will continue to climb through the xmas period. Take a l,ook and you'll see :) ):
