Thanks for your comment and I do suggest you keep trying Saj or indeed Alex, but just from my point of view the points you have raised are part and parcel of having your own business.

Like anyone who runs their own business, you can make all the profits but you take the risks.

On point one, may it not be a good idea to illustrate that if using a drop ship that you clearly communicate with your customer the process, any rational human being would appreciate this and there will always be the irrational! But if you have a good product and communicate… this is business 2008 stylee!

On point two, again, running your own business is about risk taking, putting out fires at the beginning and dealing with things in one of three ways!

Reactive (get the fire hose out), Proactive, dealing withe causes before the effect and strategic where you have your businesses bases covered and can sleep easy at nights!

Now point 3, “The recession 2008″, well do you, and anyone one else realise that you would not even know about the recession if it were not for the media! Here in the UK it’s currently entitled “The Credit Crunch”!

Yes the general state of the economic world is in tatters, but it has been like forever!!!

Politics is for people who want to be famous but are UGLY! They are all a waste of time and you better not get me onto that subject!

Now, personally, I see the “recession” as a golden opportunity!

Some will “get it” some won’t but while everyone around you is looking all glum, moaning and whining… caouls you maybe be cashing in!

Something to think about!

Now, as far as the 4tierannhialationmethod, I do think that this is a fundamentally good product, but again, business is business, and there will always be a risk, it just depends on how you handle those risks, reactively, proactivley or strategically!

1. When sourcing products from alibaba, many of the “drop shippers” seem to be in China - do you have any problems with your Ebay customers if the product takes some time to reach them - and are they ever worried that the product is not coming from yourself?

2. When sourcing and listing products from a shop (such as your watch example), what happens if they sell the watch just before your buyer wins the auction? Even worse when selling a car from a private individual - that the seller accepts an offer while the auction is under way…. I am legally committed to selling the product once it was been successfully bid for….Ebay would probably ban me…or remove my kneecaps!

And one general question - This new recession has got me worried - I checked out a few of your product ideas on Ebay - both sales and prices over the past 2 months seem to be well reduced - what is your experience right now Saj?

Any thoughts or experiences from you talented folks?

Warmest,
