Hi,
I’ve been selling on ebay for some time now, going to various markets and picking up items for £1 then selling them on ebay for around £16 or more. It’s now time to branch out and establish this into profitable business. This requires a good wholesale supplier. In my naivety I rushed and bought some items via an online wholesaler only to discover after my purchase that numerous other sellers on EBAY were selling the same thing, some for as long as 6 months prior to my purchase. Needless to say my markup was virtually nothing as they were too many competitors.
Having learnt my lesson I’ve realised I’m going to have to source my own wholesale suppliers and negotiate prices myself, ensuring more profitable markup and less product exposure, meaning fewer competitors.
I have been selling women’s clothing on ebay, starting out with NEXT clothing, which does rather well on there. I go and pick up the bargains at NEXT outlets. This also revealed a market for plus size ladies as well as Big Cup bras (D – KK), these also seem to sell pretty well. I want to expand into all clothing not just for women but don’t know where to start.
I was reading one of the best ways to approach this is to contact say the manufacturer for NEXT clothing, ask for their list of wholesale distributors, then call them and ask if they’ll sell to a small business. Is that how it works???
I’m soo confused and alone on this this but I’m determined to make this work. Please help, also if you have info on any wholesale networking events they’d be appreciated. I’m based in London, UK. I’ll work with international wholesalers, I just don’t know who to trust.
Thanks
I can’t imagine that Next’s suppliers will sell items intended for Next to a small business as there will be a clause written into their supplier contract which states that they must not do this.
You’d be far better off making your own contacts with clothing manufacturers and getting them to sell other items to you. Part of this process is being resourceful and looking up / making contact with suppliers. I would suggest though that the place where you need to look for clothing suppliers is predominantly China as this is where most are made.
You could probably be sued for reselling Next’s (or any other company’s) products specifically in this manner, so I wouldn’t think it’s a very good long term business venture.
I would like to run my own business, selling jewelleries fashion stuff at the market and also online.
I was looking for wholesales in China, but the postage is really expensive and difficult to make any profit.Can anyone recommend any good wholesales, interested in any Europian country or even Asia if they are really good. many thanks for your help!
I would suggest you China as a good option as it can provide you finest quality with cheaper rates. You should get in touch with any Chinese supplier or a manufacturer and request free quote from them try http://catalogs.indiamart.com/ to find Chinese or other Asian Supplier and contact them for free.
I like to build a web page to market and sell products with drop shipping wholesale supplier. I registered for my own domain. which web hosting is the best to build a web page?
I’d recommend you iPage as the company gives great discount offers on the hosting services & domain registration services. They have special services, like the iPage unlimited bandwidth or the free domain registration services. This is a great features which can save you lots of money and time. http://www.webhostingbreak.com/ipage-discount/
I’ll be selling things online and wanted to know names of wholesale suppliers that are known for giving free samples before you make a larger purchase?
I check pretty much everyday for free samples lol. I’ve gotten everything from coupons to free posters to free baby stuff. There’s a few sites I check, but I like to use http://www.freefreebies.org It tells you about freebies, samples, giveaways, coupons etc. and exactly what to do to get them. Hope that helps 
I’m looking to purchase wholesale items/closeouts/overstock that stores did order but did not arrive on time. I could purchase the lot of items. I want to know where and what I need to do. For example, The Bay, Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire, Zellers, Sears, Future shop, Best Buy and Etc. All big name stores purchase items from suppliers, some items do not arrive on time, and they do not need no more and they will sell to customers or buyers.
Those types of items, as well as returns, are sent to auction houses, where they are auctioned off.
They are also sold to companies that sell them by the pallet or truckload.
Those types of places are not all that easy to find, but I can help you out if you wish to purchase brand new merchandise at low wholesale prices for resale or for your own personal use. See the link below.

We are building quite a few tall columns for fencing with bricks, and I just wanted to see if anyone knew of a cheaper or wholesale supplier. Right now the cheapest I can find is $0.35 per brick which is at Home Depot. We will need between 25,000 an 35,000 bricks. The price through them is fine, but if I can get it cheaper of course that would be best. We are in the Cleveland Ohio area. I am willing to have them shipped to me, but only if it is cheaper than Home Depot including the freight charges.
