Dear hms_etrade
To answer your question,
- With regards to your query on sourcing, I would not be able to give you a list of sellers from Chennai however you can buy from Sellers who are offering wholesale lots on eBay. You can buy in wholesale and resell the products on eBay.
Visit:
http://listings.ebay.in/_W0QQfclZ3QQsocmdZListingCategoryList
for categories within which sellers are offering wholesale lots.
If you have any questions, you can use the "Ask the seller a question" link on the listings page and clarify your doubts.
A lot of our sellers also buy products in bulk from their local wholesale markets, discount stores, distributors, small manufacturers etc and sell them on eBay.
With regards to your next query about shipping and packaging companies, you can get in touch with courier companies nearest to you and get the best deals. eBay does not have tie ups with any courier companies. Most courier companies offer packaging as well.
And lastly, you can find out what products are in demand at the eBay Pulse. eBay Pulse gets updated on a regular basis based on demand and gives you demand by category of products. Its a great tool and will definately help.
Visit eBay Pulse at: http://pulse.ebay.in/
You can also use the Completed items Search from eBays Advanced Search section to find out what products have been doing well on the site.
