    If you’ve followed us through this series about how to become a bulk reseller, you’ve now learned how to cost out bulk, figured out where to store your merchandise, created an inventory management system and have a detailed plan in place to pack and ship your items. Now comes the finale: where and how to sell your procured items using the online auction marketplace.

    We’ve chosen online auctions as the focus of this entry because of their ease of use, widespread availability and simple setup. Of course, there are other ways to sell your bulk reseller items (both online and off), but that's beyond the scope of this particular article.

    First, find a couple of auction sites and browse to see which you enjoy using more. Although eBay is still the top online auction site, weigh your options carefully before settling on one: look at the listing fees (the cost to just place an item up for auction), end of auction fees (normally a percentage of the final auction sale amount), payment fees (to accept checks, credit cards or other online payment methods such as PayPal), and any other incidental fees that will drive up your costs. Many of the smaller auction sites may not have as much traffic, but they can save you a pretty penny in fees.

    Next, take some high-quality pictures of your wholesale items. You’ll be able to reuse these pictures with every auction, so the more angles, colors and sizes you have, the better. Then store the photos on a freebie storage site (Xdrive offers a free trial and 5GB of space, whereas PhotoBucket is completely free but has file limitations) to save yourself more auction fees.

    Rule Number One: Do not attack full-frontal. Goliath is bigger than you. If you attack him full-frontal he is going to squash you like an ant. It will almost certainly be a costly exercise (especially for you) and potentially a disastrous one as well. He has more money than you; he has m

You can also look at the seller’s history to see if they’ve sold these items before, and what price point they’ve sold for previously.
