Your welcome

you can import these from china for way less, that prob what the seller is doing, they have sold 88 so have clearly bought in bulk, thats what you need to do, maybe you can import a small amount say 6 i have seen chinese companies that will do this! lastly use the completed listings function, then you can see what they are selling for next time, oh yeah and a bit of research on ebay too.

also why dont you just do a buy now instead of waiting for a listing to end, that is what you competitor is doing, so take heed!

google is your bestfriend! i looked into this and googled it, you are less likely to be scammed on unbranded goods, just double check the company by googling the adress and company names adding reviews etc and also use the fourms, there was someone on here selling lingerie etc maybe talk to them, it was little miss pink i believe.

The other person's probably just clearing their stock, sometimes this happens and get under cut on ebay. There's not too much you can do about it. If your dropshipping I would be happy as at least you didn't buy the stock and now risk not being able to sell it at profit.

Also got 0 feedback because im new so i can only do auction type listings.

[jayjrc]

sell really cheap items to boost your feedback, that will also help with trust, i never buy from somebody with little to no feedback alot of other ebayers are also this way

[Alphasales]

Right i get ya, so basically i have to find chinese dropshippers they are the best value? looks like im off back to research after 2 weeks of preparation.
Many Thanks

no not chines dropshippers! your customers wait would be 2 weeks if not more, try small bulk if you can afford it, it would be cost effective for you
