You don't need any kind of agreement to start a store.  When you go to actually "open for business", you will need to have either a valid merchant account set up or a PayPal account.

good idea but you need to find out if you can find customers for them.\n\nI guess the easiest way is to plan a few things first - what designs are likely to be popular, how much you are going to charge, which areas are you going to sell (locally, nationally or world-wide), how you are going to distribute your products, what about after sales service, etc.\n\nOnce you are through with the above, take a few good photographs, create a site on Yahoo Shopping, and go for it.\n\nBest of luck.

below wholesale.  Would be kind of hard. That is normlly the base.  Unless you get  stuff nobody wanted.

That depends on where that business is established. (For example you can make a Business consultation firm in a big city but it will be stupid to do that in a small town with very little or no companies at all).\n\nMoreover, are you referring only to products or services are welcome as well. You can import products or offer services that you are familiar with or passionated about (for example if your hobby is bowling you can open a bowling center in your area, or if you are a haircutter you can start importing a professional hairstyling brand).\n\nThere is no magic solution for anyone to start his/her own business… Each answer just like every business is different according to the needs and wants of one.\n\nYou need to find out what is missing in your region or area and provide it. Try to sell something unique or differentiated if you want to succeed.

Just type in wholesale with whatever your looking to buy and many sites will pop up I did this for handbags most sites have a $250 minimum purchase required

I have a few e-books and websites that I will provide to you for free.  I also have a list of about 700 wholesalers that would probably help you in starting your online business.\n\nOne word of advice though, don't go into debt when starting your online venture.  There's a lot of competition out there :)\n\nE-mail me admin@gotalkmoney.com for the list :)

first, you have to have a wholesaler's license. you can go to sba.gov to find out how to get one. and then I very much doubt you will deal directly with Microsoft, usually a company of that magnitude is going to sell their product to distributors, who will sell it to wholesalers, who usually then sell it to retailers like Best Buy. You may find a link to distributors if you go to a Microsoft site, though.

I would try, ask jeeves, put in  suppliers of wholesale products and see what comes up, unless you are looking for a specific items then put that in

There are several ways to go about it:\n\n1. Create your own ecommerce store = you need a domain name, a website created, you need to choose your shopping cart system, get SSL certification (for your https - secured ordering pages), payment gateway, merchant account. It can be difficult and expensive, especially if you do not know how to install various components. But you will not pay any fees for listing and selling a product unlike eBay, and it can grow with your business\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/internet/ecommerce.htm \n\n2. Use a turnkey solution = if you do not know how to install each component but still wants the flexibility and autonomy of having your own website, you can go to Yahoo Stores for example that will basically supply you every component you need. The downside is little room for configuration and flexibility\n\n3. Sell through marketplaces such as eBay = You can open an eBay store and list your products there. The downside is that you pay fees for EVERY product you sell. Plus, you have no flexibility in terms of product presentation and you are looked upon as "small time" (even if you do big business)

Good luck. Wholesalers usually require minimums, resale permit, etc. You could try Cabela's... but they're not wholesale. If suppliers did what you want, they wouldn't be wholesalers, now, would they?

You need to complete your registration. If you don't have a company just fill your name. After you are registered as a member you will be able to contact directly the suppliers listed on the website.\nBy the way, on made-in-china you will deal with exporters and manufacturers mostly, not wholesalers. If you plan to find sources for your retail business that may not be the best site, since minimum order quantity applies (usually by containers).\nPatrick\nwww.sinotrip.biz

Yahoo is great because it's free but almost no one shops there. eBay costs a bit more but you'll move product. My Yahoo Auctions are usually what I couldn't sell on eBay - move it over where its free and just keep relisting it

it depend on what country you are from and what type if company you are doing\n\nlet's say i am from Singapore,\n\ni will contact the Business Authority to get register for a license so that i can get a commericial license to sell things.\n\nif it's a web company, dun bother, just setup one and too register one commerical licence if you want to expand and provide service.\n\nif it's a porn company. whaha. that'a quite alot of regulation to ahere.

hi,\n\nTo start a web site:\n1. Name your site and see if the name is not already taken. If it is available you will have to register the name in your name. This is the domain name and you can check and buy domain names from yahoo by following the link: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/\n\n\n2. Once you have registered your name, the next step is to find a web server where your site will reside (hosted). There are various web servers available on the internet with a variety of prices and features. webhosttalk.com had some good discussion about hosting companies and the comparison of prices and features.\n\n3. Build the site. You can use MS Front page or take advantage of Yahoo web site develoment kits. These put you up and running in shortest possible time. Refer to the details at the link: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/sitebuilding.php
