If you're just getting started in e-commerce then you should be aware of the fact that many wholesale sources out there aren't real wholesale sources. Many of them simply label themselves as a wholesale sources for marketing purposes. The REAL wholesale sources usually don't do business with the public. If you want to do business with these sources you're going to have to register your business. If you live in the United States you're going to need to acquire a TAX ID from the federal government and a RESALE CERTIFICATE from your state. Some wholesalers, however, will require you to have your own storefront in order to purchase from them. But some will be willing to deal with you. Hope this helps!
