Where to find items to Sell on Ebay continued...

• I am back to further discuss..."Where to find items to sell on Ebay?" Outside of what I have mentioned in my Blog, there are numerous ways to find items to sell on Ebay! My husband and I have just recently acquired our Tax ID number which will allow us to buy wholesale and sell at retail. We are from Ohio and went straight to; The Ohio Business Gateway (OBG) Website and acquired ours online. This took 10 minutes. I am not sure how this works in other states, but am sure you can be directed from the IRS Website at http://www.irs.gov/. After acquiring your Tax ID, you have opened up the doors for more opportunity. I have seen alot of hype on the Internet where people or companies try to sell "wholesale" lists or directories. Don't waste your money! The majority of these wholesalers that they give you, can be found on the internet through research. A couple of years ago, prior to receiving my Tax ID Number, I purchased from a couple of Online Closeout Warehouses that did not require a Tax ID. One of them was http://www.countrysidecloseouts.com/. I did really well with them, until they started selling on Ebay. It seemed that they were competing against their own customers. Just be careful! Personally, I have chosen other ways to purchase items to sell on Ebay. Research, Research, Research, is very important! Whether you are looking for products to sell or Companies to buy from. Ebay has probably been our biggest, foremost, resource center, when determining what to sell and what not to sell. In my next post, I will be discussing Dropshippers.
