Where Can I Find the Best Wholesale Directory?

Can I really buy wholesale?
Are you new to Internet auctions such as eBay? Are you often a little worried about contacting wholesale companies listed in say, a directory of wholesalers or through Google, as you believe these companies will only deal with big retailers?


Largely, and certainly in the last few years, this has happily not been the case. As online auction sites such as eBay have become more and more popular, the wholesale supply industry has moved with the times and most, if not all, are now pleased to sell to sole traders, as well as much larger companies.

Don't they have 'limit levels' or something?
You will soon know if a wholesale company only deals with bigger companies, because they will have quite large 'minimum order levels', both in value as well as stock levels, so unless you intend to expand or set up a large company, it's best to avoid these ones. There are many others though who WILL sell to you, so let me show you where they are.


Knowing where to buy wholesale at really good discounts, with either NO or very LOW minimum order levels, is essential if you are to succeed in trying to make money selling on eBay.


I thought they only sold to 'trade'.
Most wholesalers WILL only sell to 'Trade', but of course if you are buying to resell on an eBay online auction or similar, then you ARE a trader by definition. Having said that, it's always best to be honest and upfront when dealing with wholesalers. Tell them you're buying to sell on eBay, or other Internet auctions. After all, you're trying to build a relationship with your supplier, and once you have a good relationship with them, you will tend to find they can 'cut you a deal' now and again, if you need it.


So if you're thinking 'I'm only small fry, why would they deal with me?' then think again. Don't forget, they need you as much as you need them. At this stage they don't know if you're going to be the next eBay PowerSeller or not, do they? It's the same as your dealings with potential customers, you must be positive, you must be businesslike, but most of all you must be HONEST. For example, if you aren't sure if a product is exactly what you think it might be, ask for a sample first.

Where do I find these wholesale suppliers?
When searching for where to buy wholesale, the easiest way is to find a wholesale directory, which will list all the wholesale companies by category, and will save you heaps of time. Another good thing about these directories is that most of them will have done some pre-vetting of the companies before including them, again saving you a lot of hassle.

 As the directory of wholesalers is designed for Internet auctions, the companies in there are all more than willing to deal with 'sole traders' such as yourself, so that sorts out that problem too, doesn't it?


In case your next question is 'OK, but where do I find a wholesale directory?' I can answer that too. Have a look on the right hand side of this page, and very near the top I've put a little video which should answer a few questions for you.
