EBay Power Seller Product Sourcing Secrets

 
Filed under EBay, Wholesale dropship Tips



One huge,  so-called eBay secret is where eBay power sellers get their products. EBay product sorucing is a big issue, and a lot of money is made just selling answers to this question.


All right, let’s talk about eBay power seller product distribution sources. A little research on Google revealed this:

There are a multitude of sources for where “power sellers” are buying their products. Just like any other retailer or reseller, many othese companies and individuals have arrangements with wholesalerwhich enables them to purchase things at cost and mark them up. Others have sources for factory seconds and refurbished items. Still others use dropshipping tactics to eliminate warehousing and other costs.

Resellers will typically have tax ID’s in the state they are doing business, which is generally a prerequisite for buying at wholesale. Often, buying power is afforded to those companies that buy in bulk, allowing for significant discounts. eBay is essentially like any other reselling or retail media, except auction-style.

The sentence marked in bold is very important. In order to take advantage of many of these sources, you must have some sort of minimal business identity, and if you are reselling, you’ll need a sales tax permit.

What are some examples of sources? Have a look at this listing on Yahoo!:

Yahoo B2B Wholesalers

Here is a lead to potentially hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of wholesale sources:

That should give you a run for your money. I think I have now given you potential contact with thousands of suppliers. I don’t know; I haven’t counted, but I hope this helps you find products to sell online!

Online wholesale directories may also be of use. We think the Salehoo directory and forum is a reliable product distributor resource. Salehoo does not sell goods, merely provides the contact information.

    Just in case you see this–I visited your site. I suggest you remove the keyword stuffing in the right column. Not really wholesale supply, but more power to you.
