I havent sold accessories in years personally. Once I saved up enough dough I moved on with other online ventures. If you still want to get into the business then the first thing you need to do is sign up with terapeak.com. Its basically an ebay research tool that allows you to see which products are selling well, how much volume is being sold, and at what price its being sold for. Pretty much every auction thats listed on ebay outside of the adult categories is crawled and indexed into their database.

For example...If I wanted to sell cell phone accessories, I would type in either iphone case, iphone 4 case, iphone 5 case, defender case, or droid case into the search box. It would spit back results showing every auction that had one of those phrases in its auction title. I could then refine the search more and only look at auctions that sold between $5 and $15. From there I could get an idea as to whats being sold successfully in the marketplace but could take it even further. What I use to do is look at the listings and see which one of my competitors were selling a specific item. I would take that sellers username and paste it into terapeaks competitor research tool. It would spit back results showing every single auction that seller listed, how much volume theyre doing, and how much revenue theyve grossed total within a specific time frame. Id simply sort those results showing which specific products he had the most success with and then look for wholesalers who had those specific products in stock.

Some of the sites I used to find wholesalers were dhgate.com, alibaba.com, and aliexpress.com. Then I had movie and game distributors I bought from like sdcd.com, and ingramentertainment.com. Some other accessories you can research off the top of my head are iphone screen protectors, iphone or ipod earbuds, macbook or kindle leather cases, or iphone rechargeable cases and batteries. They dont have to be iphones. Just an example.

Cell phone accessories are dead. I sold em when i was 13, I've sold mass stuff for years polo, jerseys, cell phone accessories, insanity, beats, You know those ads on the side of pornos selling penis extenders.. thats me.(make 30k off those no joke). I'll share my last item where the market isn't satuturated. High end knives like $300-700 dollar ones. Buy for $100-250 get a 200-400% markup. You welcome.

That's unfortunate. If I were you I would do what was suggested in post #9 of this thread. That sounds like a pretty good way to get traffic and sell inventory.
