    before starting an idea - RESEARCH

    See who else is doing and see if it's a good niche to be in. If it doesn't look safe then drop it and try another option.

    And to me they seem fairly priced - Just be careful the amount of competition your going to have with ranges of prices and commercial brands and the reputation you will need to build up on Ebay.

    Anything can happen in the online industry - it's probably worth over 1000 billion lol

    Happy new year

    I meant as in - research "skin care products" and is the product yours, if it is: Write what's so unique and what factors it has which can help them - People are crazy over their health.

    ya
    well i have done some research on it
    because i have been raised around a nutritional comapny
    my parents own one
    and they have a skin care line
    so i would buy from them at wholesale price
    and make my own labels
    because i know whats in their products, use it, and love it

    also i made the catalog for their company
    and i had to research
    but more never hurts
    but ur right
    i need to add on how it not only helps the skin, but the inner body health

    Do you live in the U.K

    If you do then go to "Dragons Den" and they will help invest in you and through the funny to watch badmouthing are a few good tips that come through.

    - But I wouldn't advice that lol

    It sounds like a winner to me but I know nothing about health care lol

    Instead of selling on ebay - why not set up your own site and sell through that for 100% sell price and people who come on to your site will be potential viewers as they are searching for a certain type of product.

    It will be very hard to price an unknown brand. You need to get brand recognition in order to create sales. Do you have a pricing strategy yet? Are you planning on being a discount brand, an average consumer brand, or a high end brand? Do you have a business plan developed?
