Things to sell on Amazon

[tanissmith]

Any ideas of where to purchase wholesale things to sell on Amazon?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know but I make more on ebay or Craigslist than I think I could on Amazon, though. I might have to look into it,

I have never used Amazon, only Ebay and Craigs List.... is it worth it?

My brother tried to do that a few years ago and ended up getting some fraudulent wholesale items from China, so be careful.

I think some people buy in bulk to get free shipping, etc.  Then they turn around and list those items for a higher price on Amazon or eBay.  You can also use a search engine to learn how to drop ship which is selling something online and then paying for it and having it shipped directly from the wholesaler to your buyer.  There is risk; however, in drop shipping because you might find that the item you sold is no longer available for purchase.  It's also incredibly important to provide a tracking number for your buyer as a way of covering your own rear end.

I am a member of a group teaches you HOW to make money selling items on eBay.

We have software and coaching.  It is fun to do......especially when my phone goes "KaChing" when I make a sale.

As sherryinutah mentioned, it is important to provide the tracking number.   We teach you how.

Thanks for the ideas, so far.  I have sold books only so far but yes I do make a bit of chaching.  I'd like to know more about the selling group but I know it's hard to stay within the rules of posting to let me know what that group is.  Hmmm...

You just have to look around for warehouses and discount stores in your area. We have a couple places out this way, but I don't sell them on amazon, because by the time they took their cut probably wouldn't make any money, but garage sales, you can find good finds and sell on ebay.

Are there any outlet or overstock stores in your area? Especially outlets unique to your area might be a great source of products to sell. Also, thrift stores and rummage sales would be a second choice.

I use to do that.  Just google whole sale companies and contact them to be a whole sale distributor.  Pick a niche and go with it.  Be very careful on the shipping.  I found myself not charging enough to ship and not making any money on it.  Research being a drop shipper.  You sell items for other companies and they ship the items to the customer.  Its pretty cool!  Good luck

Thanks for all of the tips.
