Or Try Dropshipping, maybe the best way to start when you have no Funds to help you.

You might find some cheaper items available from China, but as always due diligence is necessary before making any purchases...

Have a look in the marketplace. Plenty of things worth buying there. Just make sure you do your homework.

Start be selling things from around your house. Things you no longer need or use. Alwaya a good way to build funds & feedback.

What do you want to sell? You will have to spend some time researching your products/the market etc. Its not as easy as giving you a list of items that will sell. What sells well for me may not sell well for you.

What do you mean, everything seems to cost alot of money! In wholesale you can't expect to buy a product dirt cheap then sell for retail making big bucks. Many of the sellers on here are also trying to make abit of profit. Remember that!

I'd suggest you look again at the marketplace.

Dropshipping is really quite easy to understand. You sell a product for x amount. You buy the product from a dropshippers website. They send the product to your customer. You keep the difference between what you sold it for and what you bought it for. Simple!
