Thank you Scott. I will have a good read but not tonight ! I have been looking at so many suppliers offers on alibaba and trying to figure out what might be a good product for importing for Ebay that I am now worrying myself to death about picking the wrong thing for the wrong money ....lol
Just out of interest do you think my plan of importing CD-R DVD-R and Blue Ray disks for Ebay sales is a good initial experiment ? Offering cheap and cheerful shrink wrapped and better quality media cake boxed 25's and 50's ?
Thank you
Daniel

What research have you done to see if it's worthwhile importing these? I'm probably telling you what you already know but have you looked at the average selling price of these on ebay? I'm sure a lot of sellers are sending these from Hong Kong and their prices can be hard to compete with as the buyer will be liable for duty/VAT whereas if you import them you will pay it and then factor it into your costs. If you want to test the water I would order a few samples which should slip through customs without duty and see how they sell. Good luck!

HI
Important to shop around also important to get comparisons on costs of goods between CIF and FOB as trust me on CIF from China you will be hammered in UK as freight is sold at minus levels on CIF so the consignee makes up the difference in UK
Happy to help at anytime
Cheers
Paul
