Since this is a slow section, I posted my question in Off Topic but thought I'd mention it here as well. Some of you might have experience with
this:Do you have about $20K or more? If not, I wouldn't really consider it. I'm a small importer. Tiny. Maybe $5 million per year from China. I fight for good pricing and good shipping rates with a Chinese wife as a helper. People have no idea how outgunned they are on pricing in China by the big boys.
Lets take a for instance case. Novices will pay $35 to have 3-4 pounds shipped over here. I pay $2.75 and I'm only in the middle of the heap on shipping discounts.
My pricing on goods is not much better. I'm buying things 5,000 to 100,000 at a time and I'm only doing ok.
Don't get into ebay fights you can't win.
