Some of you might already know this wholesaling trick. Just recently I opened my ebay store and it sure was a success.I did about a week of research on item to sell on ebay and found an item that nobody sells.
I immidiately contacted the maunufacturer of the product and to my surprise they willingly agreed for me to sell their product.I was selling it left and right and for about a week I was able to make enough profit to be able to order more products from them and triple up on my order.
I was making it big for about 2 months, was able to put enough money aside for another venture.
Just on my last order I have mentioned to the person taking my order that Im selling it on ebay.BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now i just listed some of those items and did my usual check to see that i properly listed those items,Guess what? now theres 2 of us selling that same item and the other one is the manufacturer.They sell it $0.25 cheaper and free shipping too,i was so bummed.
Learned another lesson. NEVER EVER mention to the manufacturer where youre selling the product your buying from them.
I know that most of this manufacturers are already selling on ebay but theres still a handful out there who doesnt really care about ebay,I guess they make ennough selling it on their own website.
