I do not think that out of the THOUSANDS of Posts that I have read on this site that there is one that is as IGNORANT as this one.
Do you really want us to believe that you are selling on a Hot New site that ONLY you know about? With THOUSANDS of members here scouring the internet 24/7 looking for the same thing.
Let me tell you something, Sites like Ebay, Amazon, ect,ect, go out and look for US (sellers), they NEED Sellers with good products to sell on their sites so that they can make a commision. So you have a new site that wants to keep itself a secret,,,Bull$hit,,,,Is it possible that what you are really looking for is other members here to send you a private message offering to trade you their "secret" sites for yours?
There really is NO PLACE for idiots like you on this forum,,,Either Pack up, or GROW up,,

First of all I was not saying that no one knows about it cause obviously I wouldn't have traffic what I'm saying is that it was not mentioned on this forum, second of all I'm not an idiot, I started selling on ebay last July and from July to End of December I sold $64,000 worth of stuff, idiots wouldn't sell that much.

I have months with ebay fees more than that and I know sellers who think my numbers are pretty gosh darn small. Everything is a matter of perspective.
Your view is pretty narrow and your attitude sucks.

So what your saying is you made about 640,000 gross sales in a month if your fees were that much, second of all I don't keep any inventory at all, third of all out was my first time ever selling online so I think it's not bad for a first timer, sorry if I appear to be ass hole, I'm planning on starting to buy inventory and selling online but I was suspended from eBay indefinitely for having 1.07 in item not as described so I'm trying to get my new ebay account a little older,

Everyone's numbers are different and we all have a unique perspective. Personally I could not care less about how much money gets collected. It is all about how much you get to keep. My huge months gross are normally my least profitable months, but it all depends on who's money I am using. I gladly will sell a million or two and only keep 8-12% if I have no skin in the game. If you are selling like you have and not using your own money, KUDOS! It is best to make money with no money. ROI is infinite that way and minimal risk.
Anyways, I wish you luck. You seem to want everything and give nothing. Take time and build relationships, offer support to others and maybe you will get the same in return.

Are you dropshipping on ebay? That's what I have been doing, first get paid then use the person's money to buy the item and manufacturer and they ship it to the customers.

I like more control than. Drop shipping is great but you risk slow tracking, not as described and inventory issues come up regularly. It sounds like you have experienced some of this already.

The suppliers I use have 2 day shipping and some bigger items have 5 day shipping, so I never had a problem with shipping speed or tracking but your right, not as much control.

LOL, Every bid cost money.....It's so dumb and yet they make Quibid look like people are paying far below retail price. Every time someone bids....the clock resets to a specific time.

There's literally like a billion clone websites. People still fall for that nonsense just like MLM/Pyr.am.id schemes.
I remember when they first started like 10 f*cking years ago. I spoke with someone who got in on the scheme early before everyone jumped on the idea. They made a godd@mn fortune sca.mm.ing all the n00bs of course.
