I want to get started selling on Ebay and I have been trying. I've noticed that there are a lot of people that have brand new infant clothing with tags still attached from store such as Gap, Gymboree,ect. Where do they get these items from and how much money do they really make off of them? Can anyone help me?

anything like gap or or bannana republic is just overstock that gets sold in bulk out of the warehouse at discount prices...same stuff that ends up in marshalls for 75% off sales
any of the designer stuff like burberry or prada are replicas coming out of chinese factory for very low prices....i get good quality burberry wallets for $20. Usually the gucci and prada stuff is a little more...about $40 for a handbag. They're not real but depending on the source they can be pretty good quality replicas. (burberry even decided to move the real factory over there now)
All kinds of websites out there to get started but ultimately you need to develop good relationships with trusted suppliers. A little mandarin goes a long way as well.

You can make money off of them. But to do so you either need to devote a lot of time to shopping for those clearance sales in order to get good deals so you can make money. Otherwise the way to really make money is to become an established business and research wholesale distributors that you can buy in bulk. Then you can have your virtual clothing store on eBay offering all kinds of deals to your customers while making a few bucks for yourself. :-)

I get stuff off clearance racks. Kohl's is especially great for clearance. End of season is a good time to buy. I found a pair of Levi's once for $2 and sold them for $20. Happy Ebaying!

gegesmom,
you should start out small. go to the clearance racks in those stores you mentioned.
just don't tell them you will be selling on ebay.
some stores like the GAP won't sell to you if they know that it will be sold on ebay.
javits100,
i've been looking for some burberry stuff. would you send me your ebay id? thanks!

some people have them as a gift that people have given them and i do believe some other people do steal them. i do believe they make money because if it's new u get better money for it!!
