How do I find a supplier/ wholesaler

... i would have thought the tricky bit was making money at it!
Actually no, if you have the right items at the right price it is still possible to make real money with little effort. However, the wrong goods at the wrong price and it can be a disaster.
hence my comment that finding a supplier is the difficult bit.
Personally I wouldn't sell clothes, it is a minefield of rules and regulations, and that is before buyers buy extra sizes 'to try in for size' and return stuff they don't like. However, I know of several people who make a very good living at it, but they do have to spend more time on it than I do with my easier items.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Completely agree - it was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment - i guess pointed at those who think its just a matter of "starting an e-business" and the money will come rolling in.0 -
