I have been trying to find the right way to start making money by selling on line; Ijoined another company and was referred to a supplier. I listed an item for auction and when it sold I went back to order it and the price had doubled -- so I lost money on the sale. Don't want to do that again. any suggestions on products to sell, suppliers to use and whether to use E-bay r other sites would be most appreciated. Thank you!

I bet you were followed. Meaning they raised the price of the item when they saw your item sell. They may have placed a cookie on your computer to follow where you went and then played games. Especially if you used their pictures directly without hosting it at your own hosting account.

I am new , and have had absolutly no success at all. I got involved with Bright Builders and it cost me a fortune and I have nothing to show for it. Maybe its me but no one seems to be able to tell you ( in specific terms ) HOW to do this and I want to know , I dont want to fail and I feel like I have. Tim

This is a common problem when your dropshipping. You have little to no control with the products you sell. Prices can change, the product may run out after you made the sale. And many other problems like paypal frezing your account or ebay locking your account because your a dropshipper and they dont like dropship sellers.

Your best bet is to avoid dropshipping and buy pallets of products to sell. You can buy pallets from as little as $100 and up to $1,000 based on the products you want to sell. And 90% of the time you buy pallets your getting items at below wholesale so the majority of items you sell gain you a profit.
