Success with eBay selling comes from a drive to find reliable and unique sources for merchandise. The key word in the last sentence is “sources” with an “s”. I know some very successful eBay sellers who are using several suppliers to keep their eBay Stores stocked with below retail merchandise.

The internet is filled with so called wholesale suppliers, but when you look at merchandise pricing and research closed auctions on eBay  you will quickly see there is a slim chance to turn a profit. So, how do the successful eBay Power sellers find unique inventory to resell? They simply seek out little known sources for merchandise. By little known I mean suppliers who are almost invisible online.

There are tons of wholesale liquidation suppliers who have a website, but do little in the way of internet advertising. There are many wholesale suppliers who have long-standing accounts with customers and have no need to spend thousands of dollars in search engine marketing, pay per click advertising etc.

If you can find some of these liquidation wholesalers who are reliable and trustworthy you can score big selling on eBay!

I want to share a source that I have known about for almost ten years now. It is a company called Simon & Simon Offprice Apparel based out of San Francisco, Ca. Simon primarily supply’s wedding and formal gowns to small and large retail stores Nationwide, but always has a few “odd lots” of liquidation merchandise.

As of writing this post, I viewed some of the offers from Simon & Simon and found handbags, wallets, belts, home décor and other merchandise. Some brand names offered for sale are: Mudd, Perry Ellis, Sean John, Geoffrey Beene, XOXO, Gymboree and more!

If you are buying and reselling shelf pull apparel on eBay, suppliers like Simon & Simon can provide some additional unique items to round off your eBay inventory. I have purchased from this company and have had in-depth phone conversations with Gail, the owner. She has been in the off-price industry for years.
