How to sell unbranded goods

[eternity4u]

Recently i have been doing alot of research about unbranded mobile accessories.

I have never gone in this side of market. My items are mostly are aromatherapy with license.

I have been told that mobile unbranded accessories are good to sell. I know people who have have legit wholesalers businesses where i can purchase these.

So i can get the invoices too.

All the items i have checked are non branded.

Are these items good to sell? I have been checking other sellers accounts. They are selling these type.
Chargers for DS Lite, Samsung etc etc

I know that you need to establish a good account to sell these.
Would like some insight of this.

Thank you

Not sure about the UK but in the US Ebay, they have category limits on cellphone accessories which is around 4 items a month. So in order to sell large quantities it's going to take time....assuming the UK has category limits in that area.

Also, you might have problems if you use the words "Apple", "Samsung", etc.

Its one of the most crowded categories to try to break in to. Your listing will be drowned in a sea of other sellers.

Also, you will be competeing directly with the chinese. They sell these items dirt cheap. Theres no way you can compete with them.

LOL Good luck competing against 99 cent Chinese accessories.

It is possible, not all buyers want to wait , and I'm speaking of buyers within the US , so they do pay an extra $2 to go with a U.S. Seller.

I have one mobile accessory that is unbranded that I get from the dollar store and I make .75 cents to 1.25 profit from this one item

I sell it as 5 day auction, and it sells 100%

To make any money you need to really sell a lot of volume , but with motivation you can get your account limits increased rapidly selling unbranded goods

The reason I been selling dollar store items is because they are mostly unbranded or a low cost brand that eBay likes and my limits have jumped on the 2 accounts I'm running these items to 490 items on one account and 420 items on another and this is within just 2 months of selling

So it seems eBay favors these type of low cost $5 unbranded items

And if you find the right ones for cell phone items than you could make a profit , there is US wholesalers that you can purchase from, there the same items as the dollar stores, you just need $5000 to get an order and than you can get even higher profits, and if you do not want tracking than you can make an even higher profit
