hah that's the one problem i have Reg, i have no idea what i want to buy and resell! i will have to do some research on what best makes good profit. I do know i am interested in joining an investment group buying and selling a large quantity of stock. This would be the best option for me as i am light on the cash at moment.

Hi all, My name is Del and I live in Brisbane I've been with salehoo for about 6 months but havn't had a lot of luck with suppliers/dropshippers, had one all lined up, then they suddenly seemed to non exist so back to square one. But it is great to see other fellow aussies sharing ideas etc. Lets hope we can get more manufactures to supply us here instead of having to look overseas.
I'm more interested in setting up a website than selling on ebay but I'm willing to give anything a go if a good supplier can be found.
Cheers

Hi everyone,

I just joined too. A bit of a sad story really but it was kind of out of desperation.

I'm Australian as well and am on my second career. I've worked in advertising since I was sixteen as a creative person and then became a film director making commercials. I was at the top of my field for years but last year my father became very I'll and I spent every cent I had trying to keep him alive.

To cut a long story short it didn't work and he died in January. So having not worked for a year I've kind of fallen off the end of the train and am finding hard to get back on.

I have however found an enthusiasm for using my skills selling stuff online. It started with dad''s things and then I moved on to stuff I have around the house and have quite enjoyed the response.

Trouble is it's not really paying the mortgage and I'm gonna be in a world of poo very soon I know, but I've been so depressed and have found it hard to get out there and re prove myself to the ad industry which is really what I really should do.

I know there's no quick fix to this but... I'm a talented writer/director/designer and I thought maybe there was a way here that I could apply a bit of that just to tide me over while I get enough ticker to source some other work. I don't know. Maybe I'll even build an empire but I just need some cash right now.

I have no idea where to start and as Del said everything seems geared mainly to US markets.

Hell I'd even be happy writing peoples copy for them at this stage. The amount of responses I get for the descriptions I write from even just ebay watchers is astounding.

Anyway if anyone has any ideas for us Aussies let us know.

This seems like a good place to start something. Friendly people and a family kind of attitude.

I only joined today and have been exploring and researching as much as I can but I'm a bit bamboozled now lol.

Help!

Cheers
Spike

Ok mate,

Let me warm up a bit and pick the eyes out of it and I'll PM you. Bit of info overload right now and I only joined yesterday. :shock:

I thought maybe branded clothing as I have few t shirt designs I never printed but then I started looking at what could turn over some quick cash while I accumulate knowledge.

Smart phones, personal devices such seem to be quite good but I'm not sure about the suppliers at this stage.

Thanks Darryl
