SaleHoo Suppliers (Plus Get Your Free Suppliers Contacts!)
Inside our Supplier Directory, you'll find not 1, but 4 different types of suppliers so that whatever your product sourcing needs are, we can fulfill them!
Wholesale suppliers are an important link between consumers and manufacturers. They buy direct from manufacturers in huge bulk to get the lowest price possible, and make their money from reselling these items in bulk.
Most wholesalers will require have a minimum order quantity (MOQ) and will also require that you provide them with your Tax ID number (we will be talking more about this later in the newsletter series).

Drop ship suppliers are a favorite among new sellers. Why? Because they send the product directly to your buyer from their warehouse, so that you as the retailer do not have to store stock on your premises or prepare and package it for shipping.
The best part is you only have to pay for items that actually sell AND you can pay for them using the money your buyer gives you. No wonder they are so popular!

Liquidators work with businesses holding closeout sales where all stock is heavily discounted in order to repay debts when a business closes down or dissolves. A liquidator will usually sell in huge bulk, offering large pallets of 1000+ items which the buyer cannot always inspect. Liquidation is one of the best ways for new eBay sellers to get into selling brand name merchandise.

Manufacturers are the first link in the chain. They produce products from raw materials and sell them onto large stores or wholesalers in huge bulk at rock-bottom prices.

One fear that new sellers have is that they may find a great supplier, order some well priced items, and list them on eBay, only to find that no one will buy them.
