TRUE Wholesale Sources are the Key to a Successful eBay Business

By Johnathan Z Moore

Starting a eBay business is a relatively simple process. Account setup is even a simple procedure. Typically, the initial products you sell are found around the home and garage. At some point your initial "stock" of products is gone, and your internet "Garage Sale" is over.

Now, you have reached the crossroads of your eBay journey.

Scenario 1: Do you drive around all weekend (wasting gasoline and time) looking for garage sales, trying to find some items to sell from your eBay account? Although some eBayers do find some great bargains to capitalize on eBay, this is not the method I would recommend to start off with. Do you check the search engines, take Google for example. If you search "Wholesalers", you will come up with over 22 million sites claiming "Wholesale" status (here is a tip, the majority are not wholesalers). You take a stab, and sign up with someone calling themselves a wholesaler. Now you notice that you are purchasing items from your wholesaler and finding it listed cheaper on eBay, how is that possible?

The reason is that many proclaimed "Wholesalers" show many products for sale, but they are not the true "Wholesaler". They are a retailer, that set up a nice website, and sell to you at a small discount, but they are not the true "Wholesale" Source.

Scenario 2: Do you do business with a "True" wholesaler, that works in conjunction with the manufacturer of the products. Maybe you will even find sources that will Dropship a product for you. Dropshipping is a fantastic way to conduct your eBay business, you never have to stock product, just collect the profits.

Keeping an inventory of product is not the path to take when starting out. Dropshipping is ideal. With dropship, you list the product (not purchased yet), sell the product, notify the dropshipper, they will ship out the product from their location directly to your customer, your job is to count the profit.

In the two above scenarios, the former will say that you cannot succeed on eBay, it is just a myth. The latter sees the magic and power of dealing with "True" Wholesalers and Drop Shippers and goes on to Powerseller success. eBay is powerful and exciting.

Do your homework and be a student of the business and you'll have Powerseller status in no time. Please do a Google Search for "Johnathan Z Moore" and read my other articles for success.
