Are you looking for new or used inventory? My MIL buys stuff at garage sales and church bazaars in her rural area and re-sells them. They are usually borderline antique vintage stuff. Her nephew buys estates from families and sells the contents. Usually from their rural area where the same family has been in the same house for 200 years with no garbage pick up. The attics and barns are full of stuff.
You might also try buying things in bulk and reselling them in small quantities. I sometimes buy things on ebay that I cannot get without a long drive in my rural area. The price is not so much less for the item, but it is much more convenient for me to get it in the mail than to drive 100 miles.

in addition to the usual legal sources, some sellers, just like flea market sellers, are the knowing or unknowing outlets for thieves. You've heard of identity theft, yes? In addition to the looting of bank accounts, ID thieves like to either open new credit cards or steal your card numbers. With that, they then order merchandise from honest online stores and have it shipped to someone they know. [Of course, they never pay the credit card bill, so the goods are stolen from the honest store.] That someone re-ships the goods to a different address, possibly in another country. If only 20 people are doing that to a single re-ship address, there will be over 100 new pieces of equiment arriving each week which the master thief needs to sell somewhere -- and eBay could be perfect for him since PayPal assures him he won't be taking any bad credit cards himself!! the tip off for this situation is likely a seller who is outside your country and sells so cheaply that even with customs and freight, the deal for you is the best available. Does the seller have good title? Well, the country he is shipping out of thinks so -- and, afaik, that's good enough for eBay. *** Yes -- there are legit sellers on the Internet and eBay. Look for a physical store in your country that requires you to pay taxes if you're nearby -- that means they have the required tax licences. oh.

it is very cut throat and many sellers have a shop aswell . they buy at trade and sell for nearly trade prices . you really need to go to stock auctions and get stuff dirt cheap . my friend buys pallets of electrical stuf with faults . checks it over and sells it on ebay . unless you sell second hand stuff you have to run it as a buisness and pay tax etc. my advice , catch onto something early , take a chance and buy in bulk , happy ebaying , dave

Yeah find good stuff in cheap countries, and then sell them on Ebay. If you need any help just email or something, easier that way I think :)

go to a poor country that sells goods at a cheap cost, then sell them for a shockingly more expensive price on ebay.
OR
buy a large amount of cheap things on ebay on the bid then sell them just below the RRP price and put them on bid so they get a lot of money.

Hi
Most eBay sellers have wholesalers or dropshippers and get their products from them.
You can learn about wholesalers and dropshippers from here:

I have also written an article about 4 ways to source products on eBay and you can read about it here:
