The problem with these wholesale source lists is that you are following a well-worn path. Many people before you and after you seek them out, all of them looking for the same thing... a secret source of popular products for cheap that they can quickly re-sell on eBay for huge profits.
Only problem is, there are no secret sources.
eBay, for whatever its faults, is the most competitive marketplace on Earth. Everyone would love to find a digital camera they could buy for $50 and sell for $100. So, hundreds of people try this every day. Especially with the economy the way it is now. But they cannot get the profit margins they want, so they quickly lose interest and move on to something else.
If you want to succeed on eBay, you need to find a niche. Don't look where everyone else is looking. Forget electronics, iphones and the latest gizmos and toys. Find a product that has a market, but not a large market. There will be far fewer sellers to compete with.
Contrary to popular opinion, you DO NOT have to be the lowest priced seller to make a sale - although you DO have to be competitive. Nobody is going to buy a clock radio from you for $40 if ten other sellers have it priced at $20. Find a product that is unique. Then write a good description and put some photos in your listing. Play up the strengths of your items, but be honest.
You don't even necessarily need a wholesale source. You can buy from smaller stores and re-sell on eBay for a profit if the item is unique enough.
The alternative is to buy something like HDMI cables in bulk and sell huge volumes of them, making a small (VERY SMALL) profit on each one. On a $6 cable, you will probably make less than a dollar. And you will have a ton of competition trying to beat your price by a nickel. Nothing that I personally would want to do, but it works for some people.
But buying lists or joining sites in search of easy to source products that can easily be re-sold on eBay for a 300% profit just isn't going to happen. At least not outside of FantasyLand.
