    I am debating buying some things from Alibaba and selling on ebay. has anybody on here done this? And if so? how easy is it to deal with them? And is using western union easy? also, why do they insist on doing everything in US dollars, it makes it so much more expensive

    Hello everyone.....
    feeling refreshed and raring to go,I've listed several items on Ebay this afternoon and I'm starting how I mean to go on.

    My first big tip if you want to call it that is:
    If you haven't got near your target for this year so far,then you really nead to change your direction.It's almost certain that what you are focusing on is either hard to market,hard to source or hard to sell ! There is no harm with selling something someone is already successful with.One problem you do not have to overcome if you do this is educating the market to a new product,this can be time consuming and costly.
    I've made hundreds of mistakes over the years,and one of the hardest things to do is admit when you are wrong.Be honest with yourself,if you are not making the big bucks you want to make,have a think about changing your direction.

    Speak to you all later ;)

    I've done it.....be very careful,read reviews on the company or companies you want to trade with.You must do a completed search on Ebay on the products you are interested in,9 times out of 10,they'll be for sale cheaper directly on Ebay and with free postage....(and that's free postage from China)
    Please believe me ! :eek:
