Happy new year to all!

We did over $11,000 in sales with them in November and December and not one single problem! We had a very successful Christmas season with them and a combination of other wholesalers.

A good majority of those sales were on eBay but I don't want to confuse you. I did $11,000 in total sales for 2 months but this was not my profit and the total does not include all hotbuy4u items. I used other dropshippers and shipped a lot of items myself. You have to consider that product cost, eBay fees, and PayPal fees still have to come out of that $11,000.

Yes Wholesale List is right much like any business you still have to pay the cost of business, ebay fees, Paypal or merchant accoun fees, and admind costs. And yes the product margins are tight as with any product. You generally don get rich on one sale and in these times you got to do a quite a few orders to make a living as indeed the profit margins are slim as in general people shop price which force all of us to sell close to cost..... I do keep about 25% of our product line below cost and sell at a loss just to compete in price comparison engines to get traffic and customers to our sales funnell which also contains other profitable items. Its a challenge to mix up the right mix but worthwhile still.... Happy holidays to all!

You can use a fee calculator such as the one at Link hidden: Login to view to factor in cost and get an idea of where to set your price. I would also suggest you take a look at what your competitors prices are as well.

Company is well below average! Stay away

Care to elaborate a little more on this statement? Not sure what you mean? How are they well below average?

Prices are fair if you are not pretending to sell online , otherwise stay away , profit is very little for online business.
But if you have a storefront , it's ok

I dealt with Hotbuy for many years.... Never an issue
Good people!

Planes this is the case for any dropshipper out there. There is not a huge profit potential when you use the combination of eBay and a dropshipper period. I will have to say though I have had more success with Hotbuy4u than any other dropshipper I have ever used. I also feel comfortable putting my business in their hands. The product inventory is listed right there on the site. They ship the very next day and sometimes the same day if you get the order in early enough. They have top notch customer service that has always helped me out with any problem or question I have ever had. I am a eBay Powerseller and Top Rated Seller with a 100% feedback rating. Hotbuy is not my only supplier and I do some shipping myself but I am more than pleased with their prices and service when I do use them.

I have had a huge success with the propane heater

Winter is winding down and spring will be here soon so I sold my last one last Thursday and let the auction expire. I have also had success with the electric razors / trimmers and iPod docking stations. I have a PayPal business account and I always pay with my PayPal card this way I get cash back for every purchase I make. This helps with the eBay fees at the end of the month!

I have to agree with DWM. Unless your getting a deal not seen on the dealer page then it is not possible to profit with the heater on eBay from hotbuy4u. There are lots of same listings with pricing that would not make it profitable.

I signed-up with hotbuy4u and the prices dont add up.

First of all nobody in here is trying to be negative or pick on anyone including you wholesalelist we are just trying to advice and show the reality of working with dropshippers and offering to help and succeed. We are not in all threads trying to be negative.

Only reason I asked to offer proof is you said you have made a profit from this product so we want to show both myself and other users on here the best way to make a profit with this company listed nobody said we were judging your honesty we just want to see for ourselves. Trus me im not perfect and right now im struggling myself to make a living online so im not pefect and never said i knew it all i again just have a hard time understanding how you can make money with these products. Thats it!

Sorry if I upset anyone that was not my intension.

Well I want to chime in.. Any dropshipper thats easy to find in the public eye you will be hard pressed to make profits on the initial sale. The problem is that you have kitchen and living room sellers who drop the prices to nothing once they have the source.

I can see selling items at cost or below cost to make a customer lead. For example you sell the heater that was showcased and grant it you sell a few make some small profits or even a loss but that isnt the end of the sales cycle.

I also know wholesalelist101 sells a ebook and other services as well via email broadcasts and social media. So you see once you make the sale on EBAY it isnt the end of the sale. You cant measure your profits on the inital sale anymore you got to measure the total profits over the life of the customer.

Lets say you sell the heater at loss of $10.00 and you acquire Harry Saks as customer from EBAy who goes on to visit your website where you sell tons of profitable items and ebooks and have adsense ads. Harry goes to buy a $50.00 ebook on how to buy wholesale, buys a box of jewelry your selling you make $24 profit on and clicks on a few adsense ads on your site making you another $5.00 So in this scenario yes you lost $10 on the initial sale to make the lead but went on to sell the customer more goods off your personal website and made $74.00 profit....... THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING ON EBAY......

if your the type of seller that is narrow minded and just focus on the one sale on ebay and dont have a other items to sell off ebay via a website or affliate links then your the one that is missing the boat. I know many sellers who sell at cost to generate 200 to 500 sales a month to get the customer data and go on to buld relationships with these customers to do follow up sales of good profit items.

The process is called a Sales Funnel, go google it educate yourself. Wholesalelist101 does excellent business and I just described his sales funnell... For you guys to tear him apart saying he is not making nothing and giving Hotbuy a thumbs down is plain stupidity........ Using Ebay and Hotbuy as combination to make a new customer is indeed a great lead generation formula and if played right can lead to secondary sales in the sales funnel that is profitable.

No person is going to open his books to show you the entire sales funnell as to many people will copy cat and make it tough... Be unique create your backend offers and use EBAY and Hotbuy to make leads. Let this advice soak in cause it works........ For those that want to bad mouth the process or say its BS then if you got something better show the data! Thanks Joe

True points, but we have to take into consideration the living room seller which are most of the members here, if I may be so bold in saying. Most who visit and or eventually join Salehoo, want products they can sell now. Many may be considered newbies and aren't prepared experience wise to start an operation as you suggest. They need to be able to put some coin in their pocket now on eBay.

Hotbuy is not a viable source for eBay for the general seller that wants to make some money selling on eBay. To support DWM, I know for a fact he has made some good coin running his eBay business. I have personally seen his numbers. I wont go into any more detail than that but I would bet he has made more than many on this forum with just plain ole barter.

My gripe, and I have had this since I first joined Salehoo, is the middle man dropper. When someone starts listing a bunch of them, my ears prick up. I don't like them and never will particularly the ones who promote eBay as a good selling source for their product. Fudjj knows, as he has seen my rants and somewhat unfriendly targeting. When I can get better pricing at Newegg with free shipping then at a so called dropper I get mad.

That is my point. Sales tunneling is great if you are set up for it. 101 has a website similar to Salehoo's and has a whole marketing plan in place to make money. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but my concern is the general Salehoo member that wants product he can sell and profit from on eBay.

Hello,

l have a really stupid question, so go ahead and laugh if you want :). But! How do l change the dropship adress at Hotbuy4u? l can only change the billing adress, would be very happy for an answer!

Thanks, Henrik

To do business with this company do you need a tax ID/Resale certificate? if not then they're not a "true" wholesaler as it is required by law that each individual selling for them possesses these two documents.. Just asking because I do not see anything about it on their website and im not interested in selling "marked-up" wholesale goods..
