I am currently an ebay seller, but would like to get more involved in it. I am interested in looking into wholesalers to get my merchandise from. The problem is I dont know where to start. The whole thing seems too confusing for me, or maybe its just me making it to confusing. Can anyone tell me how they got started and what to do and not to do, or even what companies are better than the others?

Thank in advance. If you would like, you can PM if you dont want to throw it out for everyone to read.

Thanks again

It depends on what you want to sell.

My best advice is to do a google search of whatever type of wholesale products you want. You should get some hits.

You might also look at shipping costs: sometimes the shipping makes it almost prohibitive.

Minimums also: sometimes you have to purchase an X amount in $ and sometimes in material

Good luck

Thanks. I will start googling. I am interested in clothing, purses, and homemade items. So at least Im not narrowing myself too much.

Try a few wholesale directories including:

Wholesale Central - Directory of wholesalers and wholesale products (http://wholesalecentral.com)

http://closeoutcentral.com

Surplus.net is the main portal for the Internet Marketing Association of Surplus Dealers. Here you will find Surplus liquidation overstock closeout salvage imports and exports sources. (http://surplus.net)

Wholesale - Wholesale Distributors & Products for Resellers - Top Ten Wholesale (http://toptenwholesale.com)

Hi, Jennifer -

You might find this article helpful in choosing wholesalers and drop shippers to work with.

Thanks everyone for your help. I have bookmarked a few things. Some of the dropshippers have a high first time amount needed so Im a little weary about that, but I think if I can find the right thing I just might try it.

See if this thread can help:
