Just start of with say 10 items and see how it goes don't worry to much that there's not many on ebay thats a good think , if you don't have a go you'll wish you had , everyone wants something thats niche , so go and get some bought & sold.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I see

So there's only one seller of these things on ebay in the UK. Well, if his/her stuff is selling well, I would go for it. Just work out exactly how much it'll cost you to buy a pallet with shipping, customs and all the other boring stuff that's added on. If you can afford to wait for sales (I only say that in case your sales take a while to pick up) then what are you waiting for? :T :T :T

thanks for the support truman!!:)

So if i were to put all the fees into context here there is...

Initial Item Cost
Item postage to me
Customs charges
Ebay Listing Fee
Ebay FVF
Paypal Fee
P&p to customer

Potential returns


anything else i've left out?

Other thing to remember is the UK seller is not going to like it. If it was me and demand was not huge I would cut prices until I squeezed you out again or you squeezed me out. So be prepared for a fight.

Yes im prepared.. and anyway i think i can find a way of making my product slightly different to them but still the same effectively. ie. wallpaper but a different colour

Mmmmmmmm, Truman, I'm not sure about that, people will think I look like Jim Carey

I think that's all the fees and charges, check though, I've never imported so there may be other charges?
