I need help with eBay Money making?
I don't know what to do at this point. I want to make money with eBay, possibly with a wholesaling way. And no Clickbank stuff, I don't want it lol. I did go to a AliBaba.com and found a sweet PS3 console wholesale deal, but all they take is wire transfers and Western Union payments, which I cannot make as I am 16. I want to do something in wholesale as I am running out of stuff in the house to sell and I have some other ideas but for now I need organization. House stuff to sell is limited and unreliable, where as a wholesaler with an essentially unlimited amount of stuff from which I can buy as much as I want if I can pay for it. Long Story Short: I would like to know of a legitimate wholesaler who sells respectable PPS(Profit Per Sale) and doesn't have to be, but something related to gaming as I have been told to sell something related to a personal passion, and that is it lol. It doesn't have to be, but if it has a good(as mentioned before) PPS I can work with it. No Google Bots or spammers please, I want replies from someone like me, just a regular person selling on ebay from home, who sells wholesale items. And if you are worried about competition if you are a power seller, don't worry lol. I am no threat competition-wise, I would take 3 figures a month if I could get that lol, I just need to get out of a personal debt to one of my parents and some more money to send to Japan and improve my life and the people's lives about me. Thank You and God Bless!

Well, you're lucky you couldn't make the Ali-Baba deal - sounds like a scam to me ( and I AM a powerseller). Never, never, EVER pay with Western Union - you ought to know that by now. I doubt that you have the cash resources to access wholesalers and you'd need a retailler's tax number to get any good ones, so I'd forget that for now. You might want to look around and see if there's something unique to your area that you might be able to buy and sell, though. For example, many people are making good money because they live next to one of the Disney Worlds - they take orders, go into the stores, buy the stuff and mail it out to the people that can't make it there or want to buy something they missed buying before. Disney licences them to do this. For gaming ( which I wouldn't touch for anything, btw - too many scams), you could look for LOTS on ebay itself, but I doubt you'd make much. There are also liquidation outlets that sell returned games but, again, you'd have to invest thousands of dollars and the quality is going to be iffy.

um....i think you can try www.buybuybuy.com and www.craiglist.com, both site have people selling and buyng stuffs cheap. I heard Bbb has a very strict rating for its buyers too. and um...you should also try to contact some inventory liquidator. or just google the word ' liquidation inventory', good luck!

How much for a call to Japan cost per minute by landlines, and how would I have to hit in the phone number?
I'm making a call to Japan from the United States, and I need to know how much money I'd have to pay per minute. And if it depends on my phone company, then what's the average amount of money per minute? Also, when I hit the phone number into my phone, what other things should I add to it?

The site below will explain how to make an international phone call. How much it costs depends on how you make the call. You can buy a international phone card & get rates as low as 6 cents a minute and lower.Japan is 011-81, then the number. If they have a computer you can call computer to computer for free. All you need is a service like Skype or AIM, yahoo messenger, or windows live.

Why are we still in Europe, South Korea, and Japan?
Why are we still in Europe, South Korea, and Japan?
Why do we have over 100,000 troops in Europe? The russian ground forces are in total shambles. The European nations have a larger population and economy when combined than the US. Let them defend themselves, the cold war is over!! It would take the Russian government a decade or more to even assemble a force that could take back its old satellites, much less invade Europe. South Korea has five times the population of North Korea and at least 40 times the economy. Can't they defend themselves? China is no longer backing North Korea so don't use that argument. They are happy making lots of money and don't want a conflict. And of course japan can defend themselves. The US last year spent 50% of ALL the world's military spending. No wonder when we spend over $100 billion a year defending countries that can defend themselves. We need to just focus on OUR interests. The founding fathers would be ashamed that we have become the world's police.

Japan, to some extent, wasn't allowed to defend themselves which was what made them such a force in the electronics industry- the money they would've spent for their military went into electronics. Our initial purpose for being there is likely not the same reason why we stay. Get over it.

I agree. Personally, I'd sit our soldiers and tanks and helicopters on the border(s), secure our ports, and defend this nation and let others fend for themselves. I'd continue participating in the peace corps and have UN troops, but no more American troops on foreign soil unless we are attacked. Had we focused exclusively on Afghanistan Bin Laden would have been killed and the Taliban would be gone and we'd have been home by now. Instead, we leave the screen door off it's hinges at home and defend other nations capable of self-defense. And what is the UN for if it doesn't take over the serious role of peacekeeping?

Splendidly put. I agree with you 100% percent on all but one issue. Japan. The reason we're in Japan is because they have no military. The reason they have no military is because we took theirs away after world war II to make sure a military faction never again took control over the country. And a big reason that Japan has come so far so fast, is because they are able to concentrate their money on their economy without spending much on defense. If we were to take our troops out of Japan we'd have to make sure they actually could defend themselves first, plus we'd be losing an invaluable position in case we ever have to fight a war anywhere in the pacific or Asia. (ie China, North Korea, etc) It's a good idea to have a few staging area's around the world where we can set up shop if we have to.

I think its more of strategic positioning to protect american interests rather than them protecting this countries. The U.S provides all of the weapons for the countries they have bases in. Your question should be how much money is the U.S making from supplying europe and the rest of its allies with all this arsenals? They are there to make sure the other countries dont penetrate the arms market.honestly from korea to Philippines to Poland and Mexico its all U.S weapons.

How do I file the tax return if 50% of the profit need to give to my partner in Japan?
I started an online businees one year ago and at that time I don't have any money so my relative who was willing to support me and give me the start up money about US$10000 for starting and we both agree that if we make profit, I only take either 50% or maximum US$5000 monthly. And the rest of the profit will T/T wire to him in Japan. How can I report this tax, do I need to pay taxes on the money I wire to this partner, can I claim that is an expense. Please help me. I don't want to be illegal but I also don't want to pay too much tax.

If you established a partnership, money you send him is not an expense. It's a partner's distribution. It will reduce his basis. It is not taxable to him unless his distributions exceed his basis. The money you send him is not taxable to you either. You should be filing partnership tax returns to report your income and expenses. You need an accountant.

Religiously speaking, can sending a paypal money request make me vulnerable to be cheated by the payer?
Religiously speaking, can sending a paypal money request make me vulnerable to be cheated by the payer?
Ok, sorry if you've seen my question on this already, but.. I sold a car to someone in Japan (I know that has scam written all over it, but it is a luxury SUV which can not be purchased in Japan which is why it's easy for me to believe it would be purchased by an international buyer) So I need to send a Paypal money request to the buyer, but I am wondering if that would open a window or give any information to the recipient which could be used to cheat me? Just so you know, it's not the prince of Nigeria, and I have not been prompted to pay anything in advance or return. I will not ship the vehicle until the money is safely in my bank account. I just want to know if any of the information shown in the request could be used against me. Thanks. Thanks for your answers. If I get cheated, I'm holding you all responsible and sending you all Paypal money requests.

If you send the request through the eBay/PayPal system there is no personal information provided to the buyer. I have a feeling you are going to find doing the customs paperwork a lot of trouble and when the buyer gets that, he will know your name and address.

7 :
No, a request won't give them anything but your e-mail address. But yeah, this has scam written all over it. People who can afford to buy luxury SUVs not available in Japan go through registered brokers and shippers -- there is a lot more to the transaction than simply putting it on a boat (it's going to have to have equipment modifications done to be legal to drive in Japan, customs details are numerous, there is import duty to pay, etc.). They don't buy them off e-bay. Watch out for spoofed PayPal e-mails saying the money is in your account -- they're easy to do and very common. Wait at least 30 days from the time you transfer the money from your PayPal account into a real bank account and it's confirmed to be in there before you do anything. And good luck... Peace.
8 :
Yes you can get scammed - very easily. It happens all the time Once you send your request, they will send you a fake Paypal email linking you to a fake Paypal site, where you enter your information and you've just given your login details to the scammer who will empty your account within minutes Do not trust any emails you receive from Paypal as these are very easily spoofed. If you get anything about a payment, close the message then go to Paypal.com and login to your account. If there is no money in your account, then it was never sent no matter what that email said. Also Paypal will never ask you for tracking numbers - so any email asking you to send the tracking/shipment number before your account is credited is always a scam For a car, DO NOT accept Paypal. Have this person to an international wire transfer from their bank to your bank. That's it. It's too easy for newbies to get scammed by spoof Paypal emails and fake sites.
