How viable is it to sell this wholesale stuff on ebay? I've heard a lot of different things from friends and I live in London so I worry the online market here would be oversaturated and I'd be stuck with a lot of stock clogging up my house

Drop shipping is easier and more profitable.

been thinking about getting into drop shipping for a while. Any advice or free books I could read? know any good suppliers?

Do you actually drop ship?
Do you have any experience selling online whatsoever?

Trial and error. Some stuff sells, others doesn't. Electronics usually sell the fastest but have a lot of competition.
Excel is incredibly useful to keep track of sales and price check items.
Ebay and paypal fees combined are 13.4% +20p.
Excel Formula for calculating a price - =SUM(A1-(A1*13.4%))-0.2
I try to sell items between £1-40. The bigger the price, the larger the mark up to make a profit. Also, in case item is lost, damaged or buyer wants a refund, you limit your potential loss.
I tried Alibaba. Took too long, couldn't resell all the items and they took up a lot of space.
