Hey Chris, don't lose faith, often with chinese sellers you can negotiate the price or the shipping costs. Also, there are many good items throughout the site, that you can purchases and resell. It may take some digging but look closely and pay attention to items that are specials, closeouts, etc. Also, you need to look for a niche product, not necessarily a product that has tons of listings on ebay. Look for the items with few listings and good closing prices.
