Where do the sellers on e-bay find all of their stuff?

Everything is available on E-Bay. . I understand many people go to flea markets, re-sale shops, garage sales and so on and some of it was used by themselves. But, I would like to know where the sellers get all of the brand new items. Can you get a contract from stores for their closeout items or end of season items that didn't sell and they are consolidating the inventory? Any suggestions would help alot. I really would like to become an E-Bay seller.

Once in a while, I get a spam from a wholesaler that offers to the stock merchandise in their warehouse, and I simply act as an agent for them. Some of these Ebay sellers will post the merchandise on Ebay, and when a sale is made, the seller forwards the invoice to the wholesaler (in another state), the package is sent out, and the seller makes a commission. I don't know the name, or website address. Best I can suggest is do Google, Yahoo, Ask searches to see what comes up on "Ebay wholesale," or "mail order catalog wholesalers"

Another option is to seek out the wholesalers in your area. If there are swapmeets in your area, its a good indication there are wholesale warehouses somewhere within a 20 or 30 miles radius of your residence.

Another option is the scan your thrift stores to find collectable items you can post on Ebay.

Hope this helps

I used to sell on Ebay. What I do is buy from wholesalers on Ebay. There are people on Ebay that sells only wholesale for people like me to resell. They have new items as well as old items.
