Finding Wholesale Sources Is It Really That Freakin Hard?
As you start to build your eBay business you are at some time in the not too distant future going to need to find wholesalers who can provide you adequate volumes of products to expand your business.
You probably think that couldn’t be that hard, but it might shock you some what when you realize that wholesalers are not going to be kicking your door down with offers. No sadly for the budding on the web entrepreneur getting started can be a major headache as wholesalers would much rather deal with their multi million dollar retail accounts and not eBay businesses.
So where should you begin when trying to find a reliable wholesale source?
I have always found that when you need anything it comes down to doing your homework first and that means extensive research. One place you can begin is the google search engine by putting in words like ” ipod wholesale” or “electronic goods supply” it could take a while and tread very carefully there are a lot of sharks.
I’m quite suprised that not that many people look on eBay for wholesale goods even though there is a entire category dedicated to wholesale goods. You can find it by putting in words like wholesale and wholesale lots which came up with over 37,000 listings in the eBay search engine when I searched.
The most easiest method I’ve found and the one I use most often is to use a reliable online wholesale source directory my favorite being the World Wide Brands Source which you can get information on at http://www.auctionwealthsecrets.com/directory. I find this an invaluable source and it has contributed significantly to my eBay success.
If you live in a city where they hold tradeshows these can also be an excellent source of information and products. As trade shows are exclusively for business owners you’ll get the opportunity to meet suppliers face to face. This can help you build realtionships that would be much harder if conducted over the phone. Once again make sure you’re clear on what you want so you don’t look like an amateur and blow all your hard work.
What can also work is calling suppliers from the phone book or business directories. Many people find this quite intimidating at first so if you are easily intimidated maybe an initial email or postal contact to break the ice first is ideal. Don’t forget if calling suppliers out of the country you’re in, to consider possible language barriers and how they might be overcome.
As you work with suppliers you might find they improve terms with you as they start to recognise your business is valuable to them. As the realtionship is building don’t be afraid to ask for a review of terms as this will boost your profits.
