Hi - i'm new to this forum site but i've been trading on ebay for a few moths seliing sim cards (taking advantage of the now well know buy sim cards for 99p each) old mobile phones and been making abit of profit to pay off my dad as i borrowed money to pay for a new pc i built. Now i've payed off my debts i want to start a small buisness or somthing along those lines that i can make a few bob(abit of money) on the side whilst not having to put in hours and hours of work a day as i have limited time. My ebay account is fine and i'm happy selling on their and i'm no powerseller but a feedback of 29 in a few moths with 100% rating is fine by me. I've heard of dropshipping - what is this??? and does any pro ebayers or people like this have any good ideas of things to sell ( i specialise in mobile phones etc. and computers etc. as i have good knowlage of these things) any advise would be welcome as i've read previous threads saying there is not much profits in the above. as i said - any help is welcome

thanks

Hi

Welcome to the forum.

The following thread should answer some of your questions about dropshipping: http://traderonlineforum.com/index.php?showtopic=10

As for what to sell, as you have already seen from other posts, there is little profit in highly competitive products such as mobiles, computer equipment, console games etc. Find a smaller, less competitive niche - that is where the money is.

Of course, that is the hard bit but trading in products that you have an interest in is always a good start.
