How To Buy and Sell Wholesale or in Bulk Lots on eBay

  • Free Tour of SaleHoo - here!

    Can you buy and sell wholesale or in bulk lots on eBay? Yes. In fact, eBay has a special section just for high-value or high-quantity bulk and wholesale item lots of every conceivable type. Many eBay sellers actually source a percentage of their product from eBay by buying just such lots, which they then break down and sell as individual units to eBay end-users and single-item buyers.

    For buyers, eBay maintains a special wholesale lots buying page for ease of access to wholesale lots of all kinds and in all categories. Buyers that regularly buy wholesale and in quantity can bookmark it for easy access and searching.

    To sell a wholesale lot, follow the usual item listing process, but when selecting your subcategory (after selecting a main category), scroll to the bottom of the list and choose "Wholesale Lots." You'll then be asked to select a subcategory for the wholesale lot, and will proceed with listing the item as usual.

    Please note that if you are selling a single wholesale lot, you should list the lot as a single item (i.e. one lot consisting of n units) and not as a multiple item listing, which would cause your lot to be sold piecemeal, one unit at a time to eBay buyers.

    "I would recommend SaleHoo to other motivated entrepreneurs interested in learning about wholesale and creating their very own business"





    My name is Mike and I have been a member of SaleHoo for several months.

    I was a bit skeptical at first about the site. Most of the sites that I have paid for in the past were worthless. The SaleHoo site is very different from some of the other sites. The prices in the SaleHoo resource guides are very reasonable. Some of the items are controlled by supply and demand and can be at retail prices.

    At first, I thought the site was turning out to be like the rest. I decided to look into the site further and found several hidden gems hiding within thousands of wholesale sources. When I run out of fresh ideas, I log into the SaleHoo forum to talk about current trends and product ideas. Overall, the site has kept me motivated and provided several good resources.

    I would recommend SaleHoo to other motivated entrepreneurs interested in learning about wholesale and creating their very own business. The results will depend on the individual person but SaleHoo has been a valuable tool for our business both financially and emotionally.

    "When I found SaleHoo it lead me to everything I'm selling today. I'm now selling Bluetooth headsets and tennis rackets and I'm making, on tennis rackets 100% profit!"



    Salehoo is awesome for me. I had never been able to find anything to sell and once I found SaleHoo it lead me to everything I'm selling today.

    I'm now selling Bluetooth headsets and tennis rackets and I'm making, on tennis rackets, 100% profit. It was a wise investment. I made my money back on the first item I sold. They are very helpful.They have live chat 24 hours a day and they will help you with anything. The forum on there, there is a bunch of people that will help you find anything you want to, everybody's friendly.

    SaleHoo membership is definitely a wise investment, so don't pass this up!

    "Having access to this website was the best investment I have ever made"






    I purchased a membership with Salehoo in January 2006 and it was been a blast since then. I have shied away from buying at stores to buying wholesale products on SaleHoo. Having access to this website was the best $50 investment I have ever made. SaleHoo provides the following:

    1. Wide variety of products (clothing, electronics, movies, art collectibles, games, jewelry, etc.) for CHEAP!!!!

    2. SaleHoo gives you daily-weekly tips on small business marketing plans and helps you to understanding the laws of importing products and customs duties.

    3. Do you not know how to register a business? SaleHoo tells you what to do and how to go about it.

    4. Dropshipping service, so you don't have to worry about shipping products. Let the companies deal with that! At first I had my doubts but once I got over my fear of being ripped off, I felt bad that I did not become a member earlier because of so much money I COULD HAVE MADE. Now, searching for new products on SaleHoo is my new found hobby.

    Products that I have done SUPER WELL at are Lacoste polo's, Air Jordans, and womens' handbags/purses. Thanks to SaleHoo, I am understanding business accounting class better and I can leave college next year to start life on the right foot.

    "After just my first month using wholesalers recommended by Salehoo, along with great tips from the Salehoo forum I was turning 300-400% profits on every item I sold!"



    I am a 17 yr old high school student from a small rural town in New Zealand and I have been successfully using salehoo for over a year. After trying for several months to find reliable wholesalers with quality products I stumbled across Salehoo and all my questions were answered.

    After just my first month using wholesalers recommended by Salehoo, along with great tips from the Salehoo forum I was turning 300-400% profits on every item I sold! Since then I have diversified my inventory and now have a steady business making good money each week, doing nothing more than sitting at my computer and making the occasional trip to the post office.

    You truly could not make a better investment with anything else, whether you are starting out in the importing game, or a seasoned player, Salehoo is the number one resource for all those people who are looking to get ahead. If a kid from down under can make it work then so can you!
