I have now changed my business model entirely and am wholesaling to other people on eBay/Gumtree, cash on collection, so no more idiotic PayPal to contend with. Even by "wholesaling", I am making 233% on every lot sold, and am now making money far faster this way. It's just that I found a real wholesaler far cheaper than the ones that everybody else uses, after months and months of searching, and sell them for slightly cheaper than the "real" suppliers do (after taking into account shipping fees/customs fees/etc. that they would pay on top when importing from China/Hong Kong). But it has now paid off big time and I make 1000s of pounds every day now. So although I am selling for under half of what I used to individually, I am now making money far faster; about 3 times more than what I used to make before each day.

And the best part is, I get to say bye-bye to PayPal and their "parting ways" nonsense just as you decided to quit your job and make selling full-time... those jackasses won't be missed.

Interesting! I have been on the search for wholesalers to make my selling more profitable in the markets I am in...however, I never thought to dig deeper and find a niche wholesaler that no one uses yet.

The whole US market of a specific product being supplied thru u... $$$$$$$$$$$$!

I don't know if you were talking about me, but I simply posted my solution to the "problem" outlined by the OP, where I made my profit bigger by finding the right supplier and changing my business model; my "novel" solution where I make more money even though the "margins" are significantly smaller than before. It does not make me any "better" I wasn't trying to promote myself, so you do not need to make that type of comment to people. I found that quite insulting.

Gotta love the interwebs. You can make as much as people will believe.

Catch 22.

Post your business and get comments.

Not all will be reasonable.
