The Wholesale Forums

Hello

I am new to this site and just like everyone else, I am looking to buy and resell items. I am interested in brokering deals for people ie. I would offer to sell say 10 Ipod Nanos and when sold, I would contact a supplier and have them send the items to the buyer.

My question is regarding selling to people in other countries and the importing issue surrounding this. On some wholesale sites I have researched, when placing an order they want to know information like shipping ports and such like. What do I need to know about this?

Is it just a case of paying the supplier, giving them the address and then thats it over with?? Obviously there are import and VAT issues too - is the buyer responsible for all these charges?

Any advice would be welcome.

drop shipping sounds like a better option for ya

Yeah, I did give dropshipping a thought, but Id rather deal in multiple volume sales of say quantites of 10 PSPs, Nintendo Wii's, Ipods etc. I have the financial captial but just need some advice when trading internationally.
