2. Keep your friend close but keep your enemy closer. Always watch your competitors closely. Observe and learn how they form their title. Which keywords are they using. How many bonuses are they offering. What is their closing price range. Look for any opportunity to outperform them.

3. Find the dealer. Don’t stick to only one supplier, try to source for a few. Always compare their rates and offers. You want the highest profit margin when you resell the products on eBay. Brush up your negotiation skills to get the best trade from your suppliers.
