Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

I have been looking at buying stuff from China to sell on Ebay and have read all the reports of being careful about this. What makes this confusing is that people must be doing this to make money on Ebay etc so not everyone can be con artists in China. I have been looking at 2 sites www.agcpoli.com,www.duolengduo.com has anyone heard of them and do they use them. The prices seem far to good for branded goods so it must not be real. Where are people sourcing stuff from that are branded and can be sold cheaply on Ebay unless they are selling fakes as well with out knowing it. Some help would be most appreciated in the best way to go, or if anyone can give me tips/suppliers names so that I can buy here in the UK.

No member of this site will give you recommendations of suppliers (and if they did - would you trust the recommendations of a n anonymous person on the Internet?).

I suggest that you read this post and the links in it for tips for what to look for viewtopic.php?f=6&t=81285.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

There are several serious flaws in your strategy aowholdings.

If you sell major brand name goods as new on ebay then you can expect to attract the attention of those companies if you are undercutting their Minimum Recommended Retail Price. Retailers won't stock their goods if anyone can simply buy direct from the manufacturer in China and undercut the price they are legally obliged to charge. Using the same logic you're using, there is no reason why a buyer should buy from you if they can buy the branded items direct from China and avoid your mark up. You will therefore likely find that your operation is shut down by challenge from the owners of the brand names because you have no agreement to act as a supplier for their goods.

Equally the manufacturers in China will have strict agreements on where and how they may sell the goods they produce bearing the brand names of Western companies, and in selling to you they'd be breaking those agreements otherwise every other major retailer would be doing the same.

This is why the idea that you can buy Western branded goods at bargain basement prices from China/the Far East is largely mythical and you'll find that there is some catch, if it isn't actually just a plain scam.

Duolengduo.com and bywick.com both of them have a hight rate of trust, they are not new site but both are scammers, with same admin,and same sale manager, etc. Search on the net and you will find their victims
