Well, a robbery victim near here was in the paper today. His stolen computers were being sold on E-bay. The police made the winning bid, then showed up to arrest the perpetrators.

I would not suggest you to become a seller on eBay. The most important thing you need to know is: you are the last person who gets paid. First of all, you need to pay eBay insertion fee and final value fee. FVF only applies if your item is successfully sold. Second of all, you will be charge a PayPal transaction fee for payment processing service. Then you need to pay USPS, UPS, or DHL to deliver the item to the buyer. The left over amount minus your cost will be your profit.

Although eBay claim your item might be eligible for an insertion fee credit if your item didn’t sell or the winner didn’t honor the bid. However, you can only use it once. In order to be eligible for the insertion fee credit if your winner didn’t pay, you will need to first of all file an Unpaid Item dispute on the 8th day after the auction ended. Then you’ll have to wait another week for the winner to response. If the winner didn’t response, then you can relist your item and get your insertion fee credit when your item is sold the second time. However, if the Non Paying Bidder reply to eBay says they want to complete the transaction, then you’ll lose the eligibility EVEN THOUGH THEY STILL DON’T PAY YOU.

Remember, never ever use the “Sell Similar” feature even you have like 100 identical item because once you list your item through “Sell Similar”, you’re consider relisting your item and you are automatically not eligible for insertion fee credit. Tricky huh?

The most stressful part is their feedback system. Sometimes, there are sick people out there, they bid on your item just to mess around. Some even leave you a negative feedback just for fun. eBay will not do anything to remove it. Even though you think you’re undeserved, eBay will not remove it unless they are presented with a valid court order stating that the comment is slanderous, libelous, defamatory or otherwise illegal. eBay doesn't remove Feedback without a court order, even if a member believes it is retaliatory, false, unfair, or harmful to his or her name, character, or reputation.

But these are nothing compares to their new feedback policy starting in May 2008. Sellers are no long able to leave negative feedback for bidder. Sellers can only leave positive feedback. Yup! Even the winner doesn’t pay, you still cannot leave negative feedback to he or she. The seller will have no way to find out the credibility of the bidder.

My opinion is, don’t do it. It’s not worth the time since you don’t make much and it’s very stressful.

Normally if you buy wholesale you are buying in bulk. And most wholesalers require you to be a business and usually wont sell to a private homeowner.



But just go online and google and you'll find tons of companies. Its just about finding the right one for you and stuff.

in case you're a sparkling broking, my first piece of advice is to scrub out your storage or attic. you are able to desire to income some adventure promoting formerly you flow off and purchase a extensive lot of wholesale merchandise. commence via promoting used products, small home equipment, wedding ceremony presents you never use, previous books (non-fiction one are ultimate), used donning products, clothing products (that super leather-based jacket that doesn't in high-quality condition you from now on or that pair of cowboy boots you purchased on your corporation holiday to Dallas, yet never placed on). The adventure you income would be priceless, you will no longer possibility any capital or make any investment previous some small eBay costs. sell something you recognize something approximately. basically approximately anybody collects "something." in case you're knowledgeable a pair of collectible or an artwork merchandise, then you relatively've the means to do the analyze to hit upon the products at expenses you are able to resell. yet another technique is to sell products in bulk. in case you purchased a extensive container of videotapes at a storage sale, separate them into categories and sell them as lots. you will often make extra funds than promoting them for my section.
