are you thinking to buying on alibaba and selling on ebay ?
DESCRIPTION
Are you thinking of a sideline business and wondering about importing small quantities of goods from Alibaba to flog on eBay/ a small website? The slide above shows one example of a produce source from Alibaba selling price on eBay. The profit seems very good for a sideline business. However, there are various aspects to look at. I found a forum discussion and listed few important points to research on before you jump into this.TRANSCRIPT
BUY FROM
SELL ON
Summary• Work out the fees of Selling on eBay• Be the cheapest Seller• Find a good, niche product • Buy thousands to get cheaper price per
unit costs• UK-based sellers, even if you're making
just a quid per sale, HMRC would like 20p or even 40p of that.
The suppliers you're looking in Alibaba are trading companies in China, not factories. You are therefore paying their mark-up too.
