Not All Wholesalers are Created Equally!!

Okay, I debated whether or not I was going to share this with you because, to be honest, I'm embarrassed and I feel stupid!

I received an email that said "Digital Camera Blowout Sale - 8-12 Brand New Digital Camera Lot - $149.00"

It sounded good! At most I'd spend $18.63 if I only got 8 and $12.42 if I got 12. I figured no matter what I got, surely I'd be able to turn a profit and make a few bucks. After all, at that price, how could I not make a profit?

I was wrong! When the cameras arrived and I tore into the box, hopeful that maybe I actually got a good deal, I was sorely disappointed. I immediately recognized the camera as a cheesy camera I had purchased many YEARS back at Walmart for $19.95 and I was unhappy with it then. I did a search on eBay and immediately found the exact same cameras listed for a Buy-It-Now price of $9.95 and selling even cheaper on auction type listings. No matter how I looked at it, I had just thrown my money away. Sure, I could list them like I saw some other people listing them with an outrageous amount for shipping, trying to recoup my investment. But, to be honest, I wouldn't give one of these cameras away to anyone but maybe a little kid, and even then, I'd feel it necessary to apologize while doing so.

I should have known better but it sounded good AND I figured this would give me the opportunity to check out this supposed "Wholesaler" and so I could tell you about it. I really hoped to be able to tell you GOOD things about my experience. I was hoping to be able to definitively tell you there are good wholesalers out there. But, looking back, I should have known. The website is very amateur and looks like it was designed by a kid. That should have told me something. However, a website can be beautifully designed and well maintained and still offer bad "wholesale" deals.

I did contact the "Wholesaler" and let him know how disappointed I was. I asked to return them and I was told that I would have to pay a 35% restocking fee to do so... His customer service skills were also lacking to say the least. So, after some thought, I went through their support page again and asked for an RMA. I did this 3 times, even willing to pay their restocking fee just so as not to lose as much money. All 3 times, my support tickets were ignored.

That's why I'm here to tell you, while you may have to lose some money trying to find good "wholesalers" on your own... you don't really have to. Fortunately, I only lost $150 (plus shipping) but I learned a valuable lesson that I can pass on to you.

Don't throw your money away like I did! If you want to find true wholesalers and dropshippers, there is only ONE Source and that's Worldwide Brands. They have a whole team of people who check out every source before they are added to their site. Yes, there is a cost involved in gaining access to the list, but it's well worth the price of admission!

Read all about it at: http://www.best-wholesale-sources.com

It looks like they are running a special right now and offering $30 off (I don't know how long this will last) but, if you use the following URL to order, you'll get another $10.00 off just for being a subscriber of Auction Riches!

(In the meantime, I have a few cameras sitting here in a box. Make me an offer I can't refuse and I'll pass them on to you!)

You can trust these guys! I've been doing business with them for years and I know for a fact that they are upright and reputable.

If you have any "wholesale" experiences to share. Any good ones, any bad ones.... please feel free to comment below.

Followup... There IS Hope for eBay Digital Download Sellers

In light of eBay's new digital download policy that I posted about earlier today, Dave Lovelace has setup a special page just for e-Bay ebook sellers. He is offering access to step by step videos that show you how to create an auto-run data CD that contains digital product files such as ebooks, etc.

Don't worry, you don't have to duplicate, package, and ship your CD's yourself (if you don't want)! The videos will also show you how and where to outsource all of this very cheap!

Don't let the new policy put the "brakes" on your auction business.

Grab these videos from Dave and get the inside scoop on turning your digital products into physical CD's and/or DVD's.

Learn more here:

Dave has slashed the price just for e-Bay sellers to ease the burden caused by the new policy.

Digital Downloads on eBay to Be Restricted

It appears that eBay is going to be instituting a new rule effective March 31st that will affect anyone who sells anything that can be digitally downloaded. All digital downloads will have to be listed using the Classified Ads format. eBay's reason for this is because digital goods are often reproduced at very little or no cost to the seller and this creates the potential for Feedback manipulation.

Using Classified Ads, sellers get 30 day listings at a fixed price. This solution will allow us to continue to sell our downloadable ebooks on eBay, but no feedback will be able to be exchanged.

I haven't used Classified Ads yet although I've heard of people getting great lead generation by using them. I tried to list my first item in Classified Ad format a couple of weeks ago and had a problem getting approved by eBay. The system told me I was eligible at the same time it told me I wasn't. (I should be, I met all the requirements) Customer Service told me they were dealing with a problem so perhaps it had something to do with them switching over to the new rules. I'll see what happens when I go to list something in Classified Ads again.

Of course, if you want to continue to sell your eBooks on eBay without using the Classified Ads section, then you will need to offer them on CD's or diskettes and actually mail them to your buyers. (does anyone use diskettes anymore?!)

I'd love to hear any of your comments about your experiences with Classified Ads.

Take a peek at Sky High Auctions

You probably hear a lot about courses that you absolutely 'must' buy, and you 'can not do without'. Yet it is incredibly difficult actually deciding which ones you actually NEED.

Well, I can tell you, if you are at all interested in earning a living from online auction websites, such as eBay, then this course, Sky High Auctions, is the best, most comprehensive course available, at teaching you how to earn piles of cash from online auctions.

It has only just been released today, but I've been one of the lucky few to have been given a copy prior to launch so I'm going to let you know about what it has to offer you.

I've gone through the course and it is amazing what I've learnt and I can tell you, this is one of the few products that I've ever seen that vastly EXCEEDS my expectations.

You can find out more right now at:
http://www.auctionriches.com/go/skyhigh

I've learned a great deal from it and am still going through and devouring the material. Here are some of the things that you will learn from Sky High Auctions:

* Find out all about a psychological technique to ramp up bids on online auctions so that they are maximized in any auction that you run.

* Did you know that eBay has created dozens of tools for you to use in order to maximize your profits? A lot of you might realize this, but are you using them? I show you with step by step video lessons how to use these tools and so you can get to earning a full time living on eBay as soon as possible.

* Beginners - Learn the 6 simple steps to how eBay auctions work.

* At the end of each lesson, I give you practical exercises to follow, so that you are taking action on what you learn. You just can't beat learning by doing and seeing the results (in cash)!

* Learn by doing - What you absolutely must know! We share everything that you need to know before selling your items on ebay so that you DON'T GET BURNED, and also include detailed information about where to source your products from.

* Incredible titles and descriptions - Ever been stuck wondering how to go about wording your items listing? Wonder if different wording makes a difference? The answer is YES it DOES make a HUGE difference. Great headlines = more visitors to your auctions. Great descriptions = more bids. More bids = more money. Learn the secrets to incredible eBay titles and descriptions here.

* Keeping track of 10 or more items at any one time on My eBay becomes very messy indeed. Large scale listings require the appropriate software and systems in place to ensure that you don't get hopelessly confused! Luckily, there are now lots of specially-designed tools out there to make your life a whole lot easier! I show you what the best of these are and how to use them!

* Discover step-by-step how to create professional listings in bulk, track the status of sales, generate customized reports, assign individual start times for each listing or group of listings, manage buyer communication and more!

* eBay reports that sellers boost their revenue by 25% in the first three months of opening a store! That's true, but that's only the average. The best sellers boost their revenue by 200% or more. I show you how!

* How to become a trading assistant. You've learned a lot about eBay so far. You've opened a store, or are close to it. You're selling items every day: if it hasn't become a full time job, it soon will. Now here's something else to throw into the mix: you can sell your expertise on eBay...

* The BIGGEST secret to making MASSIVE return on investment from online auctions is to get customers to buy again and again from you. Sometimes you'll want to create loss-leading products in order to get customers into your 'funnel'. I share with you some cutting-edge, essential strategies to getting customers to keep coming back for more. Pay attention to this advice!...

And there is sooo much more than all this. There are over 16 hours of step by step video lessons, written versions of the lessons, interviews with lots of eBay powersellers who spill their secrets and a whole lot more.

I couldn't recommend Sky High Auctions any more strongly.
