    Hello,

    I have recently gotten into wholesale buying/reselling. In light of the fact that Amazon is currently not accepting applications for accessories/apparel sellers, can anyone recommend another good site besides E-bay? I'd rather not deal with their high fees.

    :D

    Thanks!

    Try using Shopping.com as an alternate venue to sell your products. Your prices would have to be extremely competitive in order to succeed on this site.

    There are many shopping sites based on country wise. Try them too. Like if you want to sale in US then there are sites which offers deals to US clients. There are many sites for each country. If you need better sales think about affiliate too that will help you earning without much work.

    EBay's fees are high but you'll have to take into account what their service offers. You'll immediately reach a few million customers and have a selling platform that's been optimized for SEO. Ebay's fees are also cheaper than what you'd pay to build a site from the ground up, advertise, and pay to maintain the shop by yourself.

    Also, a key point to consider is the more sites you list your products, the higher your sales volume. You don't have to only stick to one venue like eBay. Try various channels and see what works best for you. Good luck!

    There is many shopping site. The most popular is a selling site the more your competition will be aggressive and your margin will go down. If you margin goes down you need more places to offer your merchandise. Don't stick with only one market place, but many. Invest time in your website SEO, in the long run it will be the more profitable and less expensive.

    Ebay is great, i know the fees are high but once you start selling more and become a powerseller fees drop.
