The two things that I would tell you are;
1. that there are no easy-quick big profit margin items or categories out there. Anyone that claims to be able to tell you otherwise, I would take with a grain of salt. eBay has been around long enough that almost anything under the sun is sold by more then a few people, and as they are competing against each other, the profit margins are the place that take the hit. You may actually want to do some research on eBay and explore the community boards there to find out more. eBay does offer some market research about what is selling and trendy but again the profit margins are small as everyone gets in to those products to sell.
2. wholesale lists can be a good/bad thing. Just be careful about the location of the distributor of the goods you are wanting to sell. There has been a lot of inferior chinese replicas attempting to make it into the North American marketplace and the makers of HiPhone or other knock offs know that there are sellers looking to increase their profit margins and not knowing all the signs of inferior replicas so they drop them through spoof sites and the seller over here gets stuck with the headache, legal issues, and financial penalties of selling fake stuff.
Not to rain on your parade, just a piece of advice. eBay can make you a lot of money and enable you to be independent, there are roughly 700,000 people doing just the same thing. Just don't think you can make it big quickly.

Cheers.

Im not just trying to advertise or anything.. but my products sell very well on ebay, when sold single. I just dont have time to sell one at a time.

With the YE discount I give to people on this site, you could probubly make a fortune. The jeans are all from liquidations and closeouts, therefore they are store quality in poly-bags. How can you go wrong at $3 a pair? You could easily sell them for $6 at a flea market or ebay.

Theres no pressure, but if your interested Pm me.. or email me at Sales@rickyceezimports.com

Welcome to the forum BigWill. Keep doing research if you're going to try and make your fortunes on eBay. It's been around long enough that it's quite saturated. That's not to say that money can't still be made, it's just a lot lot lot lot harder to set yourself apart from the millions of others on eBay.
