Where is the best place to get items to sell on Ebay? -

Such as wholesalers or anything else you can provide.

You can find some excellent deals on Craigslist.org. Search the various product sections and also check the freebie section. Determine what the items are selling for on Ebay, and then make your offers at 30-50% below that to compensate for Ebay and PayPal fees.Another resource is Freecycle.org. Everything in the Freecycle.org network is free, but I will say it is frowned upon to get items from Freecycle.org and then sell them. If you do this, I would make sure you don t make it known what your intentions are.You can also frequent garage sales, flea markets, thrift stores, etc.If you re looking for wholesalers:www.alibaba.com

Does Amazon Charge shipping per item, or the whole order? -

Okay I am going to order a few things from amazon. The shipping for each item is $2.98. I have about 7 items in my cart. Will it charge me $2.98 for each item. Or is the $2.98 the price for shipping the whole package.F.Y.I.-all my items are cheap, they are just cases. I also live in hawaii

The 1st poster is right.. there is another factor involved, are all of your items from the same supplier? If not, than it will definatly be $2.98 per item, as each item would be shipped seperately from a different location.When you order a lot of items from 1 supplier, there will be only 1 shipping fee because they can ship everything together.. this wouldn t be the case with Amazon, as they tailor to many, many different suppliers, including individuals that can sell their used items.

Amazon has an extensive table that shows you what exactly they charge for shipment. The charges vary by the product type. Please go to the website address given below for detailed information on shipping charges.The charges are by ITEM and per SHIPMENT. In other words, they charge a FLAT FEE ( Per Shipment amount) PLUS a per item fee for each ADDITIONAL item.Based on your example, assuming you are ordering jewelry, If you ordered 7 jewelry items @ $2.98 a piece, then your shipping charges would be $9.93 as shown below:Standard Per Shipment charge...................... $3.99$0.99 per each additional item: 6 x $0.99.......... $5.94Total Shipping Charges.................................�� $9.93

They are going to charge you by the weight of the box so it will probably be 2.98 an item. But seeing how you are getting them all together it may be a discount involved.

If you are buying used items from third party sellers, then you are charged shipping on each item.If you are buying them directly from Amazon, then you pay one shipping charge for all items.

How to use credit card on Paypal? -

I have already added my credit card as my backup funding. How do I use my credit card when making a purchase instead of Paypal automatically withdrawing the money from my bank account?

Don t ever give your credit card number to Paypal or anyone else. Always use a secure online account number for your credit card. Paypal is as irresponsible as anyone else would be with access to your money.

Before you make a purchase you are able to change from where you want to withdraw money, bank account or credit card. Just click on More Funding Options before you complete your order and it should be able to let you change it. Don t forget to add it first through PayPal or it won t show up as as an option. :)

EVERY time you make a purchase, you click the button that says you wish to use alternate funding.

How can I start my own clothing line?I cant sew or draw but i have a lot of great ideas? -

Single mum,there is a market for kids clothing in my country and i want to capitalize on it.I have no idea where to start or how much its going to cost me.If you have experience e-mail me @ trakim5@yahoo.com thanks

start reading at http://www.fashion-incubator.com/ esp. http://www.fashion-incubator.com/archive�� and http://www.fashion-incubator.com/categor��

Let s just think about this for a moment! If you can t draw then LEARN! Even if it is just to draw stick figures you have to have a way to show what your ideas will look like! You have to start out with a clothing line even if it is just one or 2 pieces to start with (there was one famous design line that first started with just 1 tee shirt as its first clothing line product).There is also something that I am trying to figure out here. Do you just want to present the ideas and then have someone else create the clothes? Then that is going to have to be some type of partnership kind of thing and you will have to have a partnership-type contract between the 2 of you.If you want to do the clothing line yourself then you really should start with a business plan. Basically you ll have to come up with the design, market it and show it to others and get buyers for it. There are also such things as investors and angel investors but you are going to have to convince them as to why they should invest their money with you.

Whats the difference in hardware needs between big business and small businesses? -

hardware like computers, telephones, fax machines...

a big business might have their own servers to run their websites on, big presentation screens, tons of networked computers, photocopiers, quality printers, etc etc

If your smart and your an online business, not much. They have huge servers, you can outsource servers for under $100 a month. You need professional telephone services get www.onebox.com. You need a professional address see www.HQ.com. You need a million dollar place to meet use www.HQ.com. If at home with the business write what you can off. Go to www.irs.com and ask an agent to send you in the mail ir direct yourself to the website to download what you can and cannot wrote off. You can 1099 your agents . Large corporations fill very large orders. So can you. Get a LOI (letter of intent) with full banking take it to and the bank that you have been using already that can be used (along with your satisfactory or great credit) as collateral. They will loan you the money for 30, 60, 90, or 120 days as long as you also have a one page business plan summary that explains in detail how your going to fill this order. Need live chat 24hrs online customer service use www.24-7intouch.com. Want expensive 4 color brochures and business stationary use www.stocklayouts.com. Need high end or semi high end things like office equiptment join a freecycle in your area. Otherwise use your credit (make sure it good) and fill out a Dell Premiere application and see how much credit you will get immediately. Also watch TV Shopping shows where they give you 3-6 payments to make on that item. Need a professional look shop at the local distressed assets company in your town. Marshals, Century21, Daffys, Filenes Basement, Burlington Coat Factory, etc etc. Even Walmart and Target. Need a great watch but a RENATO Beast from www.shopnbc.com or a RENATO Beauty for women. Very weighty substantial watches that wont break easily, look expensive, quality work, and will last a lifetime. Now often the only thing that stands apart are services. Outsource your services. You know a lawyer, guess what you now do legal consultations and have a Legal Dept . (Have a way for people to make appointments online and sync your lawyers schedule with the online one). You know a person that speaks 3 languages you now offer translation services and your business is Trilingual . (They scan and email the doc, you forward it to your friend, they type a translation, you accept payment, and they get emailed their doc translated). Etc etc etc. This isnt false advertising you have Outsourcing Services that work with companies in many industries . You think the BIG companies do everything ? NOT!Small business is responsible for 85% of USA income. Small business isnt small at all. The mom and pop stores, men in their garages and women at the kitchen table. Noone knows how big or small you are. All clients and customers care about is deliver on time what you promise in the most efficient, professional, and timely way with a smile. Period. Whats the difference? I dont know from where Im standing...

About as big as you can think of. A small business might ONLY need a cell phone to operate. Big businesses need entire infrastructures of IT and communication equipment worth MILLIONS.
