Instead of selling products I want to start an online business that buys products from people at fixed prices depending on quality/age/etc. Most e-commerce scripts are for selling products, I don't have any experience with e-commerce but I am an experienced webmaster. I have read up about it but it's a very small niche as far as I can tell. Any tips or suggestions on how this would work? For example after buying the said product who would I sell it to, to make profit? thanks
When you selling a product , you can have more products from supplier/factory. If you have a business of buying product, you will buy many many products , endless products. What is next step for you go on and what is the profit ? Buying(wholesale) from A and selling(distributor) to B . There must be transaction you can make profit .
You can sell products being affiliate that does not require much involvement that you'll need to run your own e-commerce site.
This site - musicmagpie.co.uk buys cds online - actually I'm not sure where they sell them. It's pretty much a vital detail in a business. Buying stuff is EASY. Selling it - not so much.
See I was thinking about buying products (these will be new and used) and then selling them on ebay, craiglist, affiliates maybe, and to other retailers/wholesalers.
Yes its possible to buy and then resell it. But it not very profitable cost you need to handle the shipping fee. You can use a dropshipper if you want to maximize your profit coz they will handle all the shipping cost without you need to worry about it
What are some good dropshipping companies, just googled the word, never heard of it until now, and what are some guidelines to dropshipping I should know? thanks
