Salehoo

     When you're just starting out in online auction selling, one of the most difficult things is securing the right suppliers. There is information about wholesalers and dropshippers all over the internet, but it can take a tremendous amount of time and effort to find what you're really looking for. Why? Some of the information is outdated. Some of the suppliers don't want to deal with small orders from home based businesses. Some of them don't deliver what they promise or they send out fake goods, putting auction sellers at risk. For many people, especially beginning sellers, it's worth getting some third-party advice before sinking too much money into an auction campaign. But before you join a wholesaler directory, you need to ask yourself:

1. Does it have a wide variety of products ?
2. Are the suppliers trustworthy and reliable?
3. Do they support small businesses placing smaller orders?
4. Is their supplier list fresh?
5. Do they offer a money back guarantee?

     One directory that meets these requirements is SaleHoo. SaleHoo is an online sellers' community offers that offers an edited, frequently updated directory of online wholesalers and drop shippers.

SaleHoo's list of almost 6,000 wholesalers and dropshippers have been screen by the staff and tested by the community of 40,000+ members.
