It seems like everyone calls themselves (business) a wholesaler or distributor. Bunch of sheep dip. Out of hundreds of sites I have viewed 99% of the so called above they do not ask for resale certificates or any type of documentation which is a big warning sign or at least should be to the saavy. This means they are selling at above wholesale pricing and the customer would need to try and resell at even a higher marked up retail price.
Same for these websites that are preloaded with products (you keep the price difference) and for a monthly fee you can have one and make all kinds of money. Another rip-off because if you do any research on some of the products you can find the same product they are letting you sell for a wholesale? price for even a better price at retail elsewhere. You are trying to sell products (marked up in price already) to someone else at even a higher markup. The only person making the money is the one that is collecting that monthly website fee. Good Luck!

Real Wholesalers

WHOLESALE: The sale of goods or services in large quantities and at lower prices to someone other than consumers. Sales to a retail businesses, jobbers, merchants, manufacturers, industrial firms, commercial, businesses and institutions or relating thereto. Sometimes called middle-person, middleman or distributor. As opposed to RETAIL.
It is not easy to identify who the primary source of a product is, that's for sure.
This new idea came up that is gradually changing how goods and services are sold, known as the INTERNET.
I would suggest that WHOLESALE means somewhat different things to different people. It is my opinion that WHOLESALE has everything to do with VOLUME PURCHASED, then PRICE.
I operate a wholesale clothing business http://www.clothing4all.com and I sell at a price that is lower than Wal-Mart and Target and everyone else on the Internet. I am not a manufacturer and I do not ask for resale certificates.
I do not have to ask for a resale certificate if I am not collecting sales tax when the sale is out of state I am operating from. If you were a seller buying in California and want to avoid paying sales tax (because you are collecting sales tax from the CONSUMER or END USER), then I would ask for a certificate of resale.

What product are you talking about? Most major manufacturers can setup a wholesale agreement with you. Very few deal via the internet. Many have applications on the internet, but that's as far as it goes. The only way I found to buy wholesale (I do jewelry) is to fill out a product request form in one of the asian websites (i think i did taiwancommerce.com or something like that) and then have a representative contact me by email. After that it's a long drawn-out process involving letter of credit payments (or wire transfers if you're willing to take risk). Good luck

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/axfBa
Yes, Worldwide Brands. You will have to pay a fee and get a tax ID from the state you live but after that you have access to more wholesalers and dropshippers you could ever hope for. They are legit!

I have purchased stuff from http://www.liquidation.com
It's not a scam and the stuff I've purchased was exceptional (much to my surprise)
It's not exactly wholesale, but it can be awsome deals.
I purchased (2) Apple MacBook Pro's for $1400, sold them on E-bay for a $1000 each...A quick $600.
it works kind of like E-bay where you bid on things, not just one thing, but "lots" of things...20 Ipods, or 12 laptops...groups of things. it breaks it down for you and gives you a manifest of everything you are bidding on, retail values, and it's pretty easy to figure out what you can bid to make your money. It's free to sign up and they don't jamb you up with spam either.
you should check out the site and see what's for sale...I am sure you will be happy with what you find.

Here are two resources for you. A reputable wholesaler will not sell to you unless you have a resale permit.
