Why Is It So Freakin Hard To Find Good Wholesalers?
Graham Waite
If you are at all serious at building your ebay business in to a life long means of income at some stage you are going to have to find a wholesaler to provide you products to sell.
You might imagine this would be a easy thing to do, but I am afraid I have some rather bad news for you. You are not likely to get killed in the rush for wholesalers looking for you to sell their goods. No the harsh reality is on the whole most wholesalers would rather deal with large retail businesses and not online ebay businesses.
What can you do about locating wholesalers who are willing to supply you?
I have found that the very best way to find good wholesalers is to do plenty of reasearch first. One way is to search using google with your keyword such as "computers wholesale" or similar search phrases.
Another often ignored source of wholesale merchandise is infact the category on eBay itself for wholesale lots. Just put this in the eBay search engine if you are not to sure what to do and you'll find it.
Another effective way I use myself is to use source products is an online whole sale source directory the most popular being found at World Wide Brands at http://www.auctionwealthsecrets.com/directory. This is a source that I use almost daily at it saves many hours of research. Check it out yourself and you'll see what I mean.
If you live in a city where they hold tradeshows these can also be an excellent source of information and products. As trade shows are exclusively for business owners you will get the chance to meet suppliers face to face. This can help you build realtionships that would be much harder if conducted over the phone. Once again make sure you are clear on what you want so you don't look like an amateur and blow all your hard work.
What can also work is calling suppliers from the phone book or business directories. Many people find this quite intimidating at first so if you are easily intimidated maybe an initial email or postal contact to break the ice first is best. Don't forget if calling suppliers out of the country you are in, to consider possible language barriers and how they might be overcome.
Don't forget as your business relationships develop with wholesalers you may find they offer you better deals than at first. Like everything in business as the trust by both parties builds so will the opportunities for greater profits.
