So you've decided to be a seller on eBay.
You've purchased a few eBooks on how to get set up. You've done all your research. You've selected a couple of products you think will sell well. Now all you have to do is find out where you can source these items cheaply. But where? Are there any wholesale tips as such?
How can you be sure the supplier you have chosen is reliable and trustworthy? There are so many scare stories about scams on the internet. About people paying over good, hard earned money to wholesale suppliers, and never seeing hide nor hair of any product. Can you be sure this won't happen to you?
The good news is YES, you can!
SaleHoo is a leading Directory of Wholesalers, and for a very modest lifetime membership fee, offers exclusive access to a huge comprehensive directory of Manufacturers, Drop Shippers, Wholesale Suppliers and Liquidators. The companies listed in the directory have all been pre-selected too, which means they've all been 'checked' out.
SaleHoo is split into two sections, with the suppliers' database on one side and a very active Private Members forum on the other. It appears that the forum is used extensively by the members to keep each other informed of the best suppliers for certain products, and a section for members seeking specific products.
The information shared between members of SaleHoo is quite open it would appear, and I suppose this is because it is a closed site, not open to the general public, so feelings and thoughts can be freely aired!
The wholesale suppliers' database lists thousands of companies all over the world, and is broken down into categories for easy navigation. With so many to choose from there is every likelyhood a supplier could be found not far away to supply the items you want.
Each member is able to write a review on a company when they've used them, so as well as the forum you can have access to written 'evidence' of the suitability. Many of the reviews are written by eBay PowerSellers and SaleHoo company staff when they have ordered different products to test the companies out. The idea has been to vet as many suppliers as possible, so that members can be confident they are dealing with bona fide companies.
The general opinion is that the up to date information supplied by SaleHoo is well worth the membership fee, which as mentioned earlier, is for life. Once you have joined and been on the forum, you will get a mountain of very useful information, and in no time at all you'll be able to source the products you want and get started on eBay.
You can access SaleHoo here, or elsewhere on this blog, so have a good look over the site before making a decision. If you're serious about sourcing good quality items to sell on eBay, you couldn't be in better hands.
