Default Where to start?

Hi I am trying to start a small business of selling designer clothing on ebay. But the problem is, I don't know how or where to start. Ive looked around the forums for some basic info. Now I need to know what to do. Should I just start with buying somethiing from the designer section of this forum or should I go straight to a wholesaler. If you recommend starting from this forum, can you recommend a good person to do business with who does designer clothing? Any tips on selling on ebay? I have had some previous experience with ebay.

Thanks

Keyword = Research

Look at the types of things that you wish to sell, if you are only looking at selling on ebay, search them, see how they are selling, what the listings are like, how well they sell (you can use advanced search to search completed listings), see how much they are selling for, if you do not use an auction template get one, it makes you stand out and look more professional.

Regarding the supplier, look at what you can get at what price, see if you can make a profit on it from ebay (though there are other means of selling such as your own site). Make sure that it is a reputable seller that you are buying from (there are certain things which you should be wary of stated in multiple threads on this site), if you are unsure of a wholesaler start a topic and ask if anyone else has dealt with them or has an opinion (and btw, many sellers on this forum are wholesalers).

Nobody will give you their suppliers.
i myself sell designer cothing (amongst other things)

for people to buy from, id reccomend taking another look in the marketplace. spend a few days and you'll see who the reputable sellers and suppliers are.
