ITT: People who are familiar with ebay/online product sales
Well /biz/, I've come up with a scheme. I've recently come across a number of chinese websites that are selling various products for very, very cheap with 100% free shipping due to e-Packet. My idea is to make an ebay store and offer their products at price hikes of around 3-5$. I would initially sell them to friends/other people I know personally until I can generate enough buzz/ebay rep that randoms start buying from me. Due to the fact that I have fuck all starting capital (about 40$ in my bank account & unemployed, recently moved and applying for jobs like fuck but my current status as a high school dropout isn't making that easy.) and also because it would put my risk at basically 0%, I thought I could put the products up on ebay without actually purchasing them in bulk from the chinese merchants. Instead, once I've received payment for an order, I would just go an order however many of that product directly from the chinese and have them ship it to my customers address.
My questions to /biz/ are as follows:
Does this sound like a decent idea? Are there any issues that you see with it?
Could I potentially get in any kind of legal trouble if the chinese merchants somehow figured out what I was doing and went to chinese/international authorities?
