$800/week Etsy + AliExpress/Alibaba

How do you guys get your content ranked in Etsy which guarantees visitors who are looking to buy your product?
 
The key to this is to live in US or nearby. Shipping from EU countries to US lets say, it's a real pain.
 
Like WPRipper said, if you're in Europa this method won't really work. Anyone got a decent alternative?
 
You are probably not aware that religious discussion is against the TOS here as it is not expressly written in the forum rules but Dorothy is really just trying to keep her little corner of the world clean and is not riding the Ego train.

I'm 100% sure that she does not want to see one go hungry or live on the streets due to a lack of income stream.

I've seen enough of your posts to know you are a good guy but your assumptions here are incorrect.

I forgot about this thread and am just seeing the responses now. Thank you BTB! Vintage jewelry is one of my niches (and also a personal passion), and I hate seeing people who have a passion for collecting get duped.
 
So you are cool if the situation is as such:

I have a business partner that lives in china. He hand makes a bunch of cheep jewelry. I sell the jewelry saying it is hand made by my business.

Sounds like your saying this is a good way to go about it to keep to your "ethics"

Going to point out you sound like a catholic telling me not to sin or you, or your god will punish me.... Talk about an ego trip.... I'd feel bad if your actions caused a family to live on the streets because the person doing it had few skills in life and saw this as his only option.... Happy hunting

No, I don't have a problem with someone really making the jewelry and you selling it for him. I do have a problem with all the fraud that goes on in the jewelry field. There is a lot of fraud that comes from China where jewelry is marked 925 and it's not really sterling. The customer gets a rash or pierced ear infection and the seller has to refund when the customer takes the jewelry to get tested and finds out it's not real. There is also the type of fraud from China where the seller calls the jewelry vintage but it's mass produced wholesale junk like what the OP is suggesting. Blackhat doesn't mean lying to the customer. It doesn't to me, anyway.
 
Intrigued by this.

I also feel like this is the wrong forum to take a stand on deception and legality issues.

Lying to a customer on bhw will get you shitlisted. Customer deception is frowned upon here, so why do you find it intriguing?
 
A few questions:
- How much net profit do you try to look for per item, in order to reach that 800/week
- Do you use your own paypal account (John Doe), or do you use an actual 'business' paypal account? (John Doe LLC)?
 
I remembered reading somewhere in Etsy's ToS that they don't allow reselling. Which is a weird rule though. Like how can they tell if someone's reselling or selling their own thing? I plan to do something similar to OP except I won't buy from ali-express, I will instead buy from a girl I know who hand makes jewelry. Is this a problem?
 
How do the people selling brands like H Potter get away with not being Cease and Desist?
 
when you have found a product on Aliexpress how do you download the photo in high res? whenever i download it it is pixilated and in bad condition even if the original isnt.
 
Hey you mentioned buying the product from ali-express when you make a sale on Etsy, from my experience, ali-express take a long time to ship. Wont the Etsy get fed up of the long shipping time? Shouldn't you just buy the item, then ship off when you get a sale on Etsy?
 
i must u say, u wasted your time by sharing this lol
u must know that ali express take 30 to 50 days for delivery and in this time ur customer pay a punch of negative feed back on ur face
 
would this work shipping directly from aliexpress to the etsy customer? the reason is because im in the UK and the shipping costs would be too high to the US
 
Its illegal to blatantly lie about the origins of a product you are selling in both Canada and the US.

THIS METHOD PUTS YOU AT RISK FOR JAIL TIME.
