Buying Wholesale Apparel for sale on eBay

Some people are just way too tight with their money and can't even afford a new shirt without re-selling it. Sure, re-selling is a means to make some extra cash on the side while still maintaining your style but if you're willing to take out a little risk and definitely don't mind trading in one of your old shirts for something brand new, then eBay might be for you.

It's easy to find wholesale apparel supplies on eBay. All you need is the time and patience to pick up some items off of the "Sale" rack. It's also important to know the basics on how to haggle (discussed in a previous post).

Obviously, you won't be able to find the same item that everybody else has, but rest assured there's bound to be plenty of t-shirts, pants, shorts and even dress shirts available. If you're really serious about shopping for wholesale apparel , then consider expanding your search from eBay to other online auction retailers like Yahoo or Overstock.com.

Back on eBay...

Now, with all that said, let's take a look at what it takes to get your hands on some really cheap wholesale apparel. Just keep in mind that there's a little more to this than just clicking the "Buy" button. Here are the 5 simple steps for getting some awesome wholesale apparel:

Step 1: Find sellers that specialize in wholesaling items

We'll start out slow by suggesting you do a few searches on eBay. You can simply type "wholesale t-shirts" or any other apparel you may be interested in purchasing will suffice. To be sure you're dealing with a wholesaler, make sure to click the box that reads "Only show the item if you are buying wholesale or if it is a business". This will pull up any listings that are meant for businesses only, which means they're more than likely offering cheap or wholesale apparel .

You can also look at eBay's homepage and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on " Business & Industrial ". Here, you'll find plenty of related listings. We suggest using this option because it is also less time consuming than doing individual searches. Just remember to check that only box before going through each listing.

Step 2: Shop the "Sale" rack

By default, eBay will let you search for "new" products. This is great. When you come across an item that you'd like to purchase, simply click the "Buy It Now" button and pick up your new item at your convenience. There's no need to pay any additional fees because you'll be buying wholesale anyway.

Now, after you've purchased your wholesale shirts, go back to the end of the page and click on the "Sale" tab under the listings of all items that are still available. Once here, use your search engine to find more items similar to those that you already purchased.

Conclusion

These steps should help you find a few good deals on wholesale apparel . Just remember that the higher the price, the lower your chance of getting a great deal. Your final goal is to purchase these items below their actual retail value. Remember to consider any hidden fees and shipping charges when making your final decision.

With this method, you won't have to worry about putting in any work or taking out any risky loans just to floss in public with that new shirt from Armani or Polo. Just remember to check ebay often because there are new listings added daily by sellers seeking to unload their overstock items. Enjoy!!
