Good luck.

I would never use dropshippers that advertise themselves as dropshippers. Why? Because you can drop ship with non-drop shipping websites. I did it with Halloween stuff in Sept. and Oct. With using a company that advertises, chances are there is more competition. More competition means that your profits will be cut in half. Trust me, I know. I've used sites that within a month, competition grew and people were selling the same thing I was for less, so much less, that they weren't even making money with eBay and PayPal fee's. These kinds of newbies would come in waves too. I sold the very expensive version of Wall-E as soon as a dropshipping company said they had some. I sold a couple, then two weeks later I've got competition selling it for $1.00 or 2 more than what they were getting it, despite the fact that they were losing money due to fee's. They didn't care. In their mind, if they made a profit of $2.00 per toy, but sold 10 of them a day whuch they figured they could since they priced it so low, then they would do very well and probably make a good $20.00 a day doing pretty much nothing. Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that if you are selling a $300 on eBay, they aren't going to charge you less than $2.00 in fee's. This is why drop-shipping for companies that advertise themselves as drop-shippers does Not work.

There's a key to earning money in wholesale, and all of the big names are doing this. First, I'm going to say SaleHoo is crap. I bought it, everything is on Google anyways. I'm not saying its a pointless product, maybe its great for someone that just doesn't feel like researching sources themselves.

Here's the layout of what wholesale is right now. Hopefully I can explain it well enough, I'm usually not the best at explaining things quickly like I am now.



A) Thats little ol' YOU. You need to buy things to sell on eBay or where ever else for profit. You go to:

B) These guys have the "connections" - They communicate to you through their advertising. They tell you they have the best sources, usually, these are the guys like SaleHoo, where you have to pay for their information. Well, all these guys know are really (C). They do not know (D). They could if they really wanted to, but they don't.

C) These guys are those little websites, sometime with broken english, poorly made websites, you know the type. All (B) really knows is (C). However, C, whom are the true middle-men of this operation, they communicate with not only people like (A) (B) but they can talk with (D) too! In fact, they pretty much represent (D).

D) Before I talk about these guys, note the big difference between (A) and (D). Notice how (A) through (D) kind of blends or transitions. Why? It's because of several things, like the huge language barrier between counties such as Taiwan, Singapore, China, Vietnam, etc. It's actually pretty hard for (A) to go directly to (D) - but that's why there is little competition. Less competition actually means more $$$. Who really are these guys in the (D) group? Well, they are regular citizens in those countries that actually produce the things you can buy. Some of them are managers that have the ability to get you deals in bulk for cheap.

Now, something you have to realize. Is that (D) wants to make profit, but as mean and degrading as it this may sound, they don't understand the key points in business that (B) and (C) do, and that's usually why they Are in group (D). It's just how it is. (D) will sometimes try to be (C) by cutting deals with us English speaking folks, because of the assumption that we all have a bunch of money. Most of the time, it's a great deal too! However, if you want to maximize your profits, you have to get down to their level, and make the same kinds of deals that they do with other people in group (D). People in (D) trade things amongst themselves based on their economic prices and the value of their currency. You want to do that, you want to convert your money to theirs, and buy things at their prices.



Now, with some simple research, you can find your contacts in group (C). This is usually pretty reliable, and you can make some good money selling pretty much anything you want, however, you have another middle-man, and they make profit every time you buy, which means less money for you. It's all about getting to (D). All of the really successful people that sell things online is going to group (D) to find their products, and it's not impossible if you don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend.

I got my contacts through (C). How? I used to live in China for a couple months. I went to one of the best places to find deals on things, several things, which is the massive market in Yiwu. Heres a small video I found on Youtube.


That's (C) - They have their contacts with (D), but thats how they make money. Well, it took me a while to realize and find out how to go directly to (D) after I spent a couple months already buying and reselling from (C). Am I going to tell you? Well, maybe if you paid me, since I'm writing massive eBook right now about the topic anyways. If you have any interest in paying me for my bit of "know-how" then feel free to PM me.

I just wanted to make a long winded post to show my understanding of reselling wholesale products on the consumer market place, such as eBay.

I recommended him Drop Ship, Light Bulk, Liquidation and Import Wholesalers from Worldwide Brands! - Home Page as it is Ebay certified solution provider and Ebay developers program member.

you got a thanks of me

and 2ndly i'd use www.alibaba.com...just check each persons rating and historylike wiv ebay before you deal

do not waste time on dropshippers or silly paid programs like salehoo, you do need too

its like paying to find out where you can advertise for ppc..., or where you can buy your bread and eggs!

This is actually a pretty good website, I ordered a lot of 60 from them about two months ago. This is one of those websites I recommend to people new to wholesale who don't have a whole lot to invest.

thanks but my question is, how did someone go about finding that?..or like fajeeb said, finding legit under the radar dropshippers?....not the ones that advertise themselves as dropshippers where theyre really middle man and there is no profit.

That's so true..

Oh and on the differences between the Chinese people, and Chinese people, too.

Some good sites to try are

Wholesale - Buy China Wholesale Products from Chinese Wholesalers on DHgate.com

and

DealExtreme: Cool Gadgets at the Right Price - Site-Wide Free Shipping (Page 1)

I've used both of these when I was running my ebay business and never had any troubles with either of them.
