Hello guys!

Im looking to set up an ebay store!

Im new to all of this kind of stuff and I need advice!

How do i start? Do i open an ebay shop or do i start by using my normal ebay account first?

Im wanting to find Legit dropshippers that have good prices and good sellers!

I dont have much money (Hence the fact im starting this business) and im looking to start buy selling small things like Mobile Accessories eg. Mobile Phone Headsets, Covers, Carrier Cases etc

Id like to find a company that I can buy the products from and they post them directly to the customer, once Ive sold them on ebay!

I just a bit lost at the moment, and I need pointed in the right direction by someone!

Looking forward to hearing your replys!

David

Well Dave, I may be able to help. I've got a line of MP4s and related products, with more being added regularly. And I can dropship for you.

I don't do ebay, so I can't help you there. I can help with a regular online shop, though.

And the MP4s can be sold in other ways, as well. You can sell them to friends, or on the job if you are working. Talk them up at church, the bowling alley, bar, etc.

And the little 'shuffle type" have a clip to hold them to clothes and are great for during workouts. Might be able to interest some gym folks in them.

Stuff on ebay is so low, and of dubious quality, go elsewhere and you can get more money for the same item.

If you're determined to do ebay, get into their sellers' forum and read what else they have to offer. There is plenty of info right there on ebay.

Sorry, I've been typing that for years. There is only one link - the one below that says The Wholesale District, etc.

I have many customers in the UK. Both for the dopshipped goods and I also do web hosting and have probably 50 hosting clients in the UK. About half and half with .com and .co.uk addresses.

Your site says right up top that you are a Retailer.

This is a wholesale forum.

If you want to buy at wholesale for your retail website, you are welcome to find some sources.
