DHgate.com is a Chinese based selling hub, where factory owners & individuals advertise their goods. They are very good
for shipping pretty
much anything. But what I will say now, is if you are after branded Mobile Phones (Cell Phones) then you are probably going to be disappointed. Many people when they first start out in wholesale think that they can pick up
iPhone & top spec
Nokia's like N95's & N97's for next to nothing. These items are very strictly distributed & you usually will need a retail store in which to sell such items. So don't expect to pick up a
IPhone 3GS for $150 each. However, there
ARE some sellers on
DHgate that sell
Blackberry phones that are the real deal. I have also seem some genuine
Nokia &
Samsung models although these are usually mid-spec models. As with all trading online use common sense. If say a
Nokia N95 is being advertised at $99 new, boxed etc. then you can rest assured
that it will probably be a copy or a clone of the original.
Apart from consumer electronics
DHgate has provided me with some good products that I have
successfully been selling online for along time now. One of my favourites to sell on are the '
As Seen On TV ' range. This range is huge & you usually find this items on 'infomercial' channels like
QVC here in the UK. You can buy
Slap Chops ,
FURminators ,
Snuggie Fleece Blankets ,
Slendertone System Abs ,
Nicer Dicers.. just to name a few. There are literally hundreds of products you can sell from this range & the prices leave plenty of room for any profit.
If the above are not for you, well, there are thousands of other items you can sell on at
DHgate, these include:
Wedding Dresses,
MP3 Players,
Clothing,
Kitchen Fittings,
Home & Garden,
Sporting Goods.. there is anything for anybody on
DHgate to get you started in selling online. Even if you are a market trader or do Car Boot sales, you will find some great items to sell on for a nice profit. Another good thing about
DHgate is that
almost all the sellers offer 'drop shipping' services, and there are also many 'factory sellers' whom sell direct from the factory thus cutting out the middle man & making you more profit.
More great features on this site
include $2 items with free shipping included, a clearance zone, new arrival zone, 'most wanted'
categories, 'whats new' zone, and much more.
I haven't spoken about what
payment DHgate accept, so here we go.
DHgate offer 'Escrow' payments on EVERY purchase. Escrow is a
payment method where by you pay
DHgate for what ever item you have purchased and they then release the
payment to the seller when the item has been
successfully delivered to you or your customers/clients. They accept
Paypal, Google Checkout, Bank Transfers & Western Union. I always use
Paypal & Google Checkout for obvious reasons.
