The Best EBay Wholesale Suppliers–The Truth Revealed
Everyone wants the SECRET to ebay power seller wholesale product sources,
but the truth may surprise you.
The truth–in my opinion–the truth is that eBay is a wholesale selling environment. That is to say, that most of the products sold on eBay are already at or below wholesale price. What that means is that, generally speaking, if you buy products wholesale, then you have already compromised your profit margin. In fact, you may have sacrificed it altogether. You can read more about his in my EBay Sourcing Secret post.
This is actually something that I first started thinking about because of the Salehoo forum. Personally, I think this is a significant point.
The title of this post is intended as an irony. The point is that many, probably most, eBay power sellers don’t purchase from wholesalers. They either purchase directly from manufacturers or from liquidation-closeout specialists in very large bulk quantities in order to drive the price down. The other scenario is that they make their own products or have a local source and are thereby the only supplier of their particular line.
The point of this post is that I want you to understand that if you buy from wholesalers, no matter how legitimate, you are likely to find your profit margin compromised because the prices on eBay are already at or below wholesale. Please don’t underestimate the value of this tip.
We happen to be members of the Salehoo online product distributor membership. Salehoo provides contact information to liquidation-closeout specialists, factory distributors, wholesale and dropship product distributors. If you want to sell on eBay, this resource might be of help to you. However, to sell on eBay, chances are that you will need contacts to factory distributors and liquidation close-out businesses. The message I’m trying to get across is that if you are looking for wholesale distributors of products you can sell on eBay, that might not work for you. You may need to look for product sources that offer prices way below wholesale. The reason,again, is that the prices on eBay are already at wholesale.
If you think you might be interested in a reputable online directory for liquidation-closeout specialists, factory distributors, and wholesale dropshipship distributors, we invite you to,

This is a good point about trying to sell wholesale goods on ebay. There are good ebay products suppliers, but in my experience it is hard to make a buck on ebay using dropship services like dropship design. I guess some people make it work, but its not for me. Salehoo can work. A lot of supplier listed. The forum is probably the best in terms of keeping up to date on distributors.
