Have you done some simple research?
Simply search up some items that interest you, or you think are hot, and do some checking to see how many other sellers have sold, and for what price.

Shipping supplies work very well for building up an account with little to no risk.

Since you are in the UK, you can try items from your local pound shop. In the sates we have "dollar stores" like Dollar General, Dollar Tree, etc. There are lots of ideas there.

Try hardware - you'd be surprised how people will pay for 10 nails, screws, washers, various fittings instead of 20, 50 or 100.

I did try researching on YouTube watching videos and tried google searching on Alibaba.com and other Chineses sites looking for buying in bulk order cheap items and still don’t get the idea a bit need little help.
I just sell high risk digital goods that eBay keeps removing and ends up suspending the account. But there’s okay money in it and I want more money and no suspensions.

The situation on eBay.co.uk is ruthless and prices are predatory to profits. I was thinking about selling on that platform, but after researching that market a little bit I came to the conclusion that a lot of sellers are following the model of sell 1 million item to make 1 million dollars.
The culture of the sellers' community really dictates the market model. I am not sure, but I think eBay.co.uk is dominated by Pakistanis, Indians & Chinese people who reside in the UK who drove prices down the toilet.

some will look into for sale bins in supermarket,drugstore and HD,LOwe.
Some buy Halloween items after it is over so they can sell them next year.
thrift shops are popular except everyone is there.

Finding the first item can be hard. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes easier. Just keep searching and you'll find something.

Yes it’s really hard to find a supplier. They have to be cheap to so there’s some profit in it. ATM I’m only going to the Chineses sites as I can’t find any suppliers in different regions.

Check what the Chinese sellers are selling. These guys usually have accounts with 3000+ in monthly feedbacks and they mostly sell cheap items.
