I want to earn a second income. Something I can do part-time so I figured an online home business. Something to sell on eBay perhaps.

Does anyone have any pointers on getting started or what to do first hand?

What is a good product to sell?

Should I skip eBay and just sell directly from my own website?

Yes, I do have another question:

Where can I find information on getting wholesale deals? Who do I talk to?

www.rapidauctionprofits.com – For those who are curious, here’s a behind the scenes look at my home based eBay business. You can start from anywhere though, I started from a dorm room.

Hello.

I have built a couple of connections in China and the person I know owns a factory in suburban Beijing. The factory manufactures backpacks, hand bags, and other accessories. I live in the U.S. and want to start my own home business online.

My understanding is that it is a major advantage to be able to offer customized products specified by my client, namely, customer provides the design so that the factory can manufacture accordingly. They, of course, make pre-designed products as well. My role is basically a business agent or representative in the U.S. and make money by selling those products. Another major advantage of this business idea lies in my direct connection with the manufacturer therefore I can get factory price without middleman (well I am the middleman).

Now my question is: how do I put this idea online? In other words, is there an Internet website that allows me to build online stores and sell my products? eBay and Amazon pop into my head in the first place but most of these online sellers are B2C. Although I do not mind at all to start it this way but my objective is to do business with suppliers or manufacturers in the U.S. (or other countries). I did a little research on alibaba.com, a Chinese B2B website and would like to know if there is such a web service in the U.S.?

I might not have the time to build my own website,not to mention maintaining it as I have a full time job that I do not want to forfeit. But if you by chance know a way to do it with ease and you think it is a must to have my own website, please share your justifications. Thank you.

At last, I am trying to open a home based business online instead of a "company".

Thank you for reading my situation and offering your opinion.

Currently I sell a few things on eBay, but I am not making enough really. Could do alot better I think. Just looking for some ideas on what else I could do online like eBay to make extra cash? Thought I would see what kind of response I would get! I don’t want to get into the online thing of doing survey’s or the like. Let me know if you have any ideas please. I would appreciate it a bunch. Luna

Either on eBay or otherwise… I have lately been getting into jewelery making and handmade items, but other than myself, it would be great to get my family involved in it as well. I don’t know much about wholesale sources, or drop-shipping, so any ideas, tips, or anything learned from experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
