i will search a dropshipper and invest some bucks.. then report the results :)! it's firstime in this business, any other suggestions ?
 
steer clear of western union..they'll ask you for the confirmation number, they will pick up the cash, and be gone and you will have nothing

up to you though but i lost $1000 with something similar to your arrangement

Hey I was thinking of buying some macbooks from this one person on Alibaba and thought I would ask some advice about a few things. The person who has them is a gold and trustpass member and also in china. The options they give for payment are moneygram, western union and wire transfer. I asked if they accepted paypal or any of those other more secure payment methods but havent gotten them to write back yet. Anyway do you think its safe using western union with gold and trustpass members? Even if it isn't I'd rather not since Western union tends to charge more then other payment methods. Also I'm not sure if these macbooks are replica or not, given that their from china I'm guessing chances they are.

Hey guys first post. Some guy from the UK wants me to list items for him on Ebay and sell them. They're mainly notebook laptops, HP and Apple. I keep 10% and he does all the shipping. He said when he gets to know me, I can be his dropshipper in the USA

I'm thinking this sounds way to good to be true. He agreed to accept payment through paypal after I deduct my commision and fees ofcourse. What do you guys think? WHat should I do to track my steps in case this guy doesn't ship nothing and I'm left paying Paypal back for the stuff?

Also, about taxes does ebay report your yearly earnings? if not, I'd be a fool to mention it to them. At the same time I don't want the IRS to get me for tax evasion. I always wanted to be a mobster, lol, so I might get my wish. But serious EBay sellers how do you deal with taxes?

Great thread by the way :)

#1. You're in the USA you must pay taxes on every dollar you make. Or the IRS will make your life miserable.
Yes ebay tracks every transaction. And any money you make or pay.

Now as for the UK offer,,,,
He agreed to accept payment through paypal after I deduct my commision and fees of course.

You have to buy them?
Then you list them on YOUR ebay accounts or his ebay accounts?

Do you have his phone number and spoken with him on the phone?

How do you know he won't sell you empty boxes?

At first I thought his intent was to use your accounts to stuff cookies on ebay. But the longer I thought about this,,,
there is all kinds of criminal shit he could be up to, and setting you up for.

Organized crime in the UK is HUGE
Be careful, get references especially business references that can be verified.

I'd say slow down until you verified this "to good to be true" offer.

Thanks for the reply. He wants me to list his stuff using my Ebay account. I have to pay the fees to list etc. but I deduct it from my sale and also my 10% commision. I'm going to tell him paypal locked my account until customer receives their shipment. If he's honest it shouldn't be a problem. I'm not going to cheat him, I'm just trying to protect myself. No don't talk to him on phone just MSN messenger
 
Dammit, I'm virtually broke at the moment. What's the minimum amount of money I would have to spend to buy a the replica Ipods? 500$ or a 1000$ I can wing it. 1000 or 2000$ I'm going to need a personal loan why did I see this now when I'm sort on money.

I'll check out these companies. Damn, I'm tempted to sell my car in order to fully try this.
 
I can't edit my threads darn. Reading this more I see a risk and that ICE story is scary. I think 1 simple tiny label at bottom of a very very long ad would cover that. My issue is making sure the supplier gets that apple symbol on the back of these things. If I had to do it myself I'd need to see an actual apple unit and figure out how to get a decent looking symbol on it. Damn goldmine though I'm asking the seller if he "accidentally" put an apple on the back...
 
permansus there's a lot of competition out there. Ebay isn't very friendly about replica stuff. You're better off hustling in the street :)
 
How do you ensure you don't get in criminal trouble for having replica stuff?
 
We fish should make our own thread. Seems like these Black Hat old timers don't want to help us. :) From what I heard, don't say Apple ipods, Gucci Bags etc. Instead say MP3 player, designer bags

With that said Ebay will still find a way to mess with ya. They like to bite the hands that feed their greed
 
They like to let you really rack up some sales. You end up buying 100 of an item. Everyone starts to make money off them. Then bang Ebay shuts down the moneytrain.
 
Wow this thread is old, gald to see people are still adding to it. Anyway I have been selling one ebay for awhile, and sold mp4 players recently. Basically ebay removed my auctions because I said "not an apple itouch". They said it was keyword spamming. My question is, how do u get your auctions exposed with ebays new most relavant search results, without getting your auction removedfor saying it isnt and apple product. Is anyone still making money with this method?

lol well...there are some for as low as $50 (that is for the new ipod nanos) However gives you and idea of price range.
 
I don't have a website, I'm not a dropship company. I figure i can make a little bit while helping keep the cost to you guys cheaper and also trusting the person. Bottom line is i live in NYC, stuff is cheap here so you can buy 5 dozen up front from china for $1000's or you can call me say i sold 1 on ebay here's the address ship it off and heres your paypal money. Honestly if i get the replica for $20, maybe i charge you $25 so i make 5 bucks for my trouble of getting and shipping it, you sell it for $80 bucks - what a win win. I can get you pics of everything. Let me know.
