You need to decide whether you are a wholesaler or a retailer. It is not normal for a wholesaler to sell to end users and most retailers would object to you doing so, certainly if you were selling at anything less than full price. A wholesaler sells to any number of retailers and leaves the price competition to them.

Not necessarily so. Actually the wholesale business is a different company entirely. This is the first time something has forced a crossover. Most of my customers on the wholesale side are not online retailers, certainly not via Ebay.

This particular item sells very well at wholesale, I started it on Ebay as it was also selling well via our website. The other seller obviously located the product and started to sell on Ebay. NOT the other way around. It is a specialised item and as I have said, I am the sole importer into the UK.

The volumes on Ebay are tiny, but there is no reason why I cannot supply one of my own business in order to sell at retail. So, thank you for your comments, but I know very much what my businesses are.
