I am 26, and run my own company
some points to think about
-wholesalers- you do not have to pay to hook up with a wholesaler- I laugh at those that do, as the services that you are paying the "wholesale provider" are available often for free - for example, several of my distributers will drop ship at no extra cost
the small buisiness bible , if it were written , should include the passage- Partner: he that stabs you in the back and takes your money, while saying that it is your fault...
I have known personaly six small buisinesses that went under specificly because
of partnership disputes - I personaly know none that work well with partners- and only one that is barely getting by- so be very damn careful who you partner with- does not matter if its a friend, brother, or anything else- its a killer waiting in the dark
it basicly seem that the idea is to list products that you think will sell, then if they sell have em drop shipped to the customer- at face it seems like a good idea, but considder that listing fees on ebay may not be all that great, and having done some selling on ebay i can state that the market is glutted- with everything you can possibly think of to sell- and you cannot compete with the non buisiness guy out there who just wants to clean out his closet- and just happens to have what you are selling (he shows up a lot) if you have the capital to survive for a while it may work, but, expect it to take a long time... and remember, in god we trust, all others pay cash......
