I’m working on my first import deal from China but not sure on what shipping method should I use? I have found supplier (on Alibaba.com), they look totally legit, take PayPal etc. so that’s all sorted! Products in question – children clothing, first order coming close to $500 (just as a test purchase). If all goes well, next order will be much bigger (close to $10k mark). Any ad...

At the moment I’m selling on eBay as well as via my own e-commerce shop. At the moment we only take PayPal but as shops’ sales are increasing I truly believe we should start taking cards as well. What’s the easiest/simplest way to do this? Should we take card payments on eBay as well? Or it’s enough to offer this service only for shop’s customers? Also, it would be g...

Hi Andrew! I was on TWF and saw Microsoft customer returns pallets for £300, with a claimed RRP of £6000-£11000. Do you think that these are good for a potential quick profit? Have you had any experiences with customer return pallets? Thanks, Durham Hi Durham, Thanks for your question! Ask yourself – does it sound REAL to you? A pallet “worth” £6000-£11000 full of Microsoft ...

Hi Andrew! My problem isn’t getting people to look at my listings on eBay; it’s getting them to buy!  I have some items with 20+ page views but my products aren’t selling.  I’ve checked out completed listings for the same and similar products and they are selling – at a higher price than I’m listing them at, so why don’t mine sell? I’ve even started ...

Dear Andrew, I have recently started my very own online shop selling clothing for over-sized people. I’m also selling on eBay. eBay is doing pretty good but to be honest, not much luck with shop so far—I have only got few sales and all of them were from my past eBay buyers. I have heard that PPC is something I should definitely look into. The problem is I’m totally new to all this, a...

Hi Andrew, I’m Conner from Ireland and on the Irish eBay there are not too many people selling PS3 accessories such as controllers, HDMI cables and  the likes but I was wondering  do you think it would be worth my time to start selling them or would all customers just buy off all the UK sellers?

Hello Andrew, Was wondering if you can help me out with my domain name.

Basically there’s a guy in America with **********.com, when searching ********* in Google there are several references to him and his site (including the name), which...
