Wholesale Pallets

My OH is now addicted to ebay so I was wondering where the best place to buy a pallet of wholesale items to sell?

I've found a site called xcatreturns but that fact that the site looks like a child has designed it has put me off a bit.

Does anyone have any recommendations where I can get anything? Im not looking to risk too much. Approx £100 worth?

    A lot of stuff will be returned goods that need repairing by the buyer.

    i've looked into this before and found that in 90% of cases its not worth doing. Most "excatalogue" wholesale pallets are ex catalogue mainly for the reason they didnt sell in the first place. A lot of the items on the pallets are poor and nowhere near worth the RRP quoted.
    however there can be some good items to be found on some of them - just research a bit first and check on ebay what they're selling for and see if you can compete.
    a warning with clothing though - many ex catalogue wholesalers selling clothing with the labels cut, which can be a problem when selling on ebay as it will lower the value & also you may get bad feedback from people thinking they're fake
