Buying and selling wholesale goods is frequently viewed as a sort of ‘get rich quick’ scheme, where sellers can make enormous profits from very little investment or work। Three months after they started, people just don’t understand why things haven’t gone according to plan! There are four myths in particular that seem to lead would-be sellers astray time and time again: Myth #1: Ebay is the best place to sell your wholesale goods.Now this is a particularly popular one. As the world’s biggest marketplace, eBay has made its fair share of millionaires. What you don’t hear about so commonly, is all the people who struggle to make a profit from eBay because 100 other people are selling the exact same products – for more competitive prices.

tsimpson,

Thats what I currently do with daggerdepot.com. I only advertise on google base (free) and draw in at least 1-3 sales per day. It's not much, but I still make more $$ than I would have on ebay since there are no fees involved (except paypal). However, since I do make some $$ on ebay, I do still use it some. Plus I can advertise Dagger Depot in my auctions.

Yeah I've tried eBay. I have also found it very difficult to make any money. With that said I think the best way to buy wholesale and sell retail is to put up your own website then drive traffic to that.

I have tried the eBay wholesale route, and you are right, it is very difficult to make anything on most consumer goods. I have had better success with selling collectible items and used clothing, books, and housewares. The fees keep going up and make it even harder to turn a profit, though. I am about ready to give up on eBay.

Very informative and practical content. I had experimented ( as you have written ) with the different international sites of eBay where there is less competition and yes the results were WOW.

Let's have some more...
