    can anyone recommend any good wholesalers to buy from?
    One of my students (year 8) at school has arranged for some car spares to be sent from China. He tells me he is earning 400% profit by selling them on e-bay.

    I've merged these two threads as they are both discussing the same issue and moved it over to the ebay board where you should find some more advice.

    Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

    You're probably better off asking on the ebay board.

    The only thing is, nobody is going to tell you their suppliers. They will all have worked hard to get their business off the ground and by telling you they would be creating competition for themselves, which nobody in their right mind would do.

    That said, I wish you good luck :)

    I'm not sure how my post got into this thread, I posted this on an entirely different thread!!

    I think the clue is here, see above

    I sometimes visit my local auction house and buy collectables and ornaments that I think I can resell at a profit. I usually check the listing at the auction first and then look for those itemson ebay to get an idea of what my top price should be when bidding.

    Have made some good money doing it this way. Same with car boot sales.
