[Universedeals]

Hi everyone,i am new to salehoo and i am exploring alot and already know the basics of wholesale and dropshipping, I really need help on some suppliers on desktop pc,memory ram and etc, I could not find any sites that have a true wholesale price to sell on ebay on desktop pc,memory and etc. The only site i found that was good is ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**. But even then this site already sells on ebay with an ebay id and the same wholesale price on thier site, what is the point of selling these wholesale prices if they are already selling them on ebay which is the same price on thier site, its like thaking a sea cucumber out of the ocean, any advice here if anyone knows a good place to find good true wholesale prices. Oh and is paypal new policy true when you dropship an item paypal will hold your funds for 21 days, please tell thats not true or if it is that just sucks!

Hi, I'm new here also but I can tell you if you are looking for a place to make any profit its not on the web because there are so many middle men that you have to buy from. Thats what makes the market of all of these products explode. If you are only looking to make money and you don't care what to sell send me a email and I will let you in on a little secret on how to bulk the folds of your wallet.

Have you checked out Evertek and DBL? They are fantastic suppliers for the items you mentioned. Yes it's true some wholesalers do sell on eBay as well. It just means you have to be more creative: whether that is creating a niche that allows you to charge a premium price, buying liquidation, or selling across a number of different auction sites.

Hello Grace, what do you mean by niche thats allows you to sell in a premium price?

Hello Grace, what do you mean by niche thats allows you to sell in a premium price?

She means finding items that do not have a strong presence online or on ebay. People are looking for everything. I was the first seller on ebay to sell slendertone replacement pads on ebay. We paid $4.99 for each pack but we sold them as high as $60.00 each for months until other sellers caught on to it.

Just because its on ebay doesnt mean the same item is on amazon. You have several selling venues to try selling new products. It does take carefull research but niches will never run out.

A niche is something that you specialize in that will help you focus on delivering a better and more comfortable experience for your consumers. For example, you build computers and you like to overclock. If you focus on selling products that cool RAM, Chipsets (Northbridge, Southbridge) CPU coolers or other things that specialize in that sort of thing. By specializing you will have more knowledge and expertise in the subject so to speak. I hope this helps

[Universedeals]

Thank you very much, i understand now, ill try to do more research and creating a niche.

Hi I am new here to salehoo. I find everything here to be a little confusing. I have looked at all these wholesale websites and the price isn't too far off from retail. How do you make money doing this? Please help me understand this!!! Thanks!!

[intebrokerage]

Hi iam new as well so I can not find a thing. I have spent over 10 hours on the site. I can buy ever thing at and store local or on ebay etc. for 50 to 80% less money. I have been buying and selling for over 17 years. I wanted to try the whole wholesale/dropshipper thing out. I sell @ wholesale the price are not more or 5% off . Any help would be great.

Hi,
So far I have not been very successful sourcing products either. I have found the same to be true---that prices on ebay are lower than other "wholesale" sites. This is better than Doba. I did a free trial there and their prices and fees etc...were ridiculous. I have found more on my own. I buy beads to make jewelry and looked at exporters in China and Bali and figure I ought to sell to them!!
If anyone knows of real sources for beads, silver, glass and gemstone please let me know.
Wholesalecentral.com and
TopTenWholesale.com look good, and its free to look.
Anyone have any comments about Worldwide brands??

I have been a member for over a month now and I just started selling online about 2 months ago and I have to admit, this site is by far the most informative. I read through everything from the tips to what the members had to say as well. You have to do your research, it is not something you can just sign up and you are selling right off.

The best way to sell at competitive prices from other ebayers is by buying wholesale in bulk. The more you buy the more you save. That is the secret. Dropshipping is a difficult business to get into and I wouldn't recommend it as your first thing starting off selling online. Especially electronics.

This is what I bought online. I bought some children's clothes at wholesale, saved a little and made a little. But after I do this a couple of times, I can use that money that I earned through those sales and purchase over $1000. If I do that, shipping is free. I save even more money. You are not going to get rich quick, this is not going to happen and the sooner you get that out of your head the sooner you can start making good decisions about where to purchase things. Take time to read the forums and you will learn a lot.
I also bought some items on liquidation.com and have had great success with my items. Not only do I sell online through ebay, I sell at local garage sales and flea markets. It is taking me some time but I learned it right the first time.
I also bought a couple of profit packs from ppwg.com through Jimmy and I have to say that this is my biggest win yet. I have barely cleared the surface of all the great items I got in my packs and have only listed 17 items on ebay since sunday. I have 6 watchers already. That makes me jump into gear to get the hotter items online so I could catch a couple of bites.
Just remember, find something that you have fun selling and sell it. If you are limited to a small budget, that is ok. It will take you a little longer but you will get your sales built up. And like many others have stated on here, if you are looking to sell on ebay or other auction sites, start clearing your house out of things lying around. Get a customer base built up and slowly your profits will build. Do you think Jimmy became a powerseller overnight and is where he is today? I know I have my goals and I intend to reach them. Believe in yourself and you can do it.
It's just that you are not going to do it over night.

Hi Terri. If you want a real supplier for beading and supplies, you need to go to; ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** once you get on the site, request their catalog and they will mail you one that is about a half inch thick..They can and will supply everything you need from swarovski crystals, sterling silver, etc., any size and type of bead you might want and beading tools to work it with..

They litterly have thousands of types of beads and stones and supplies..My mom beads and that is who she uses...

The catalog request is located at the bottom of the homepage under customer service...They are probably the largest true wholesaler in the united states...
