selling questions
 

I want to buy alot of new stock from different manufacturers but I'm scared to do so because I never know when I will be suspended by ebay.

I know alot local sellers where I live and they sell about 3000-6000 items a month on ebay with their accounts and they import alot of different items and put them into small warehouses.

I want to do the same thing one day and build up a stable account with ebay and not worry about being suspended and sell alot of items on there without hiding and being suspended and starting from begining all the time.

What do you do with your inventory. DO you buy alot of stock and then hope for the best or you just buy as you go.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Firstly what kind of items are you selling? Are the brand named goods that are often ⊗⊗⊗⊗d, because if so, you will have issues selling a lot unless you show your current inventory to ebay/paypal.

HI:
I guess I do both...
I buy everything in my Category that is a good deal, and I use powersnipe..
EVEN if i cant use it now, i store it, one day, i WILL sell it..
--AND, I actively sell, list, and sell, list...
--Some items i just moved this month, i bought about 1-1/2 -2 yrs ago,, but I remember paying like $45-$50 for it, now getting $200+..
SO, if you have the room, and the cash flow, I would suggest not passing up a great deal.. :)) That is IF you have Faith in YOURSELF..:))

Sounds like you may have a cash flow problem, otherwise the inventory just laying around wouldnt be a big deal. My advice is to start slow, set a budget and sales goal. If you easily hit your sales goal, adjust your budget and buy more inventory. Never out buy your sales when first getting started. gradually ratchet up your sales, open new accounts etc. Baby steps is the best bet for yah i think! just my opinion.
