Where do people get new products they sell on eBay?

Question

Do they use wholesalers, buy direct, or what?

Answer 1

As for items to sell, you can:

1. Buy bulk liquidation items such as those at Liquidation.com. The capitalization may be big, but the idea is to sell the items individually and profit from it.

2. Find manufacturers of items you want to sell and buy discounted items from them wholesale

3. Make deals with retailers in your area, and offer to buy their unwanted items for deep discounts. jayandmarie - the most successful ebay sellers - made deals with music stores where they will buy the entire inventory in the discounted bins, and then sold the items on ebay for 1-cent starting bid.

4. Look for possible partners on the Web, preferably outside of the US. Import items from them and sell them on ebay. There's huge profits to gain from this approach.

5. Check out deals from outlet stores. Focus on brand names, which you will find to be easier to sell. Some sellers have already made friends with the sales clerks and get first notice when they go on sale or when new inventory comes in

Answer 2

There are many different ways. When I was a seller on ebay, all my products were ordered from the company directly, just like at a retail store.
I also made handcrafted products such as ceramics.
Some people buy pallets from unclaimed goods or unpaid storage containers. There are a lot of ways to get new goods to sell on ebay.
