Do you think there might be a market for selling firewood over the Internet or would shipping be prohibitive?

You could sell anything over Ebay... if people will bid on human and animal souls or french fries, I'm sure they'd bid on firewood. And if you've got an account selling other things, then it's not like it's gonna cost you anything else.

how about selling on ebay

Sure, just let the feasible region describe the number of items you're going to sell, what they weigh, or how long it takes to make them.  None of those things can be negative.  With a little thought you should find dozens of examples.

So far it is more important to have the financial resources to succeed over the internet than having the best services offered to the public. That's why small businesses are having a difficult time succeeding over the internet.\n\nHas it occurred to you that there are over 200 million listings under the key search words ONLINE DVDS and FLORISTS, but the most successful ones are found on Yahoo's home page, email sites, etc? You must have the financial resources (or a good tie-in somewhere) to pay for premium advetising space and have long-term exposure to build name recognition for your business.\n\nI live in Shreveport, Louisiana (population of 400,000). Based on my estimates, online DVD rentals generate over $20,000 per month in this area. Netflix generates most of the revenue because they knew how to use the internet towards their advantage. I believe there are many small businesses that can succeed over the internet if the right services are offered to public, but right now Yahoo and Google are not offering the services needed for small business owners to succeed over the internet.\n\nI am building a web site platform called SeeMeOn.Com that will offer the services needed for small businesses to succeed both locally and abroad. The public will have a choice to search for information and services only area businesses can offer or search abroad to find more information and services from businesses outside the area. Due to a large number of businesses that are trying to promote their site over the internet, only a limited number of businesses will be able to offer their services abroad. I know it may be unfair, but it is necessary to create a healthy online market for small businesses to florish over the internet.\n\nI know you may be skeptical about this idea, but as more people are working harder and having less time to get things done during their busy schedule, you can expect the internet to play a more viable role in helping the public find information and services in their area. With a local web site platform you can purchase a gift certificate from a local golf shop or health spa as a last minute gift, know what self-development courses or sports clubs will be offered to you or your five year old that you'll forget, learn a about a product or service before going to your local store to make that purchase and much much more.\n\nIf you are interested in learning more or become partners with us in a very lucrative enterprise, please send your email to rascoe627@yahoo. We will keep you inform of any future developments. \n\nThank you for your time and I am looking forward to hear from you.

Something like that is best found locally.  If it were on eBay then the shipping might be more than the cost of the cheap table.  Check the local newspaper want ads or just ask around.  Yard sales also might have one.

Either Ebay or Yahoo! Classifieds or Sell.com would be good places to sell something online.

Sure. If you sell good quality to the right people. If you're knocking out faux bonsai by the ton, I doubt you'll last long. But genuine plants sell for large sums to the right people. It's difficult to promote such a niche item, but if you put the work in (posting on relevant websites, joining mailing lists, going to trade shows, etc) then you can do quite well. It won't let you give up work soon though.

I am acquainted with several good realtors in Georgia; however, neither has web sites - they are too busy to slow down to initiate one.  If you have a web site - I have advertisement space available.

Sure for a small($5000) shipping in handling fee.\n\n:)

You'd really have to be more specific for any of us to help you.  Like, what kind of products; are they illegal to be sold online; are you the company, needing advice?\n\nPlease fill us in (as much as you can without any trouble).  :)

Sometimes there will be items listed for a really low price, but the shipping will be 10x what it really costs to ship the item... People do this to avoid paying large listing and final value fees (as shipping costs are not factored into the equation for figuring out fees).\n\nIf it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I have been selling home decor items online for about 6 months, with a friend's help (she does most of the work, I do the books & finances).  We have experienced several frustrating situations: many damage claims with UPS and FedEx, even though we have researched best way to pack our product; ebay has been making many changes to their site, which always affects the listed items in some way; and also the fees incurred to list items and to have a store is really ridiculously high. There is a fee for everything!\nOverall, we have enjoyed it-the shopping for inventory is the best! After 6 months, we are finally beginning to show a profit. We hope to expand to other auction sites soon.  Next will come a "brick & mortar store." My friend  just dreams of having a "real" store!

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?

I have a distribution center in Texas where you can send everything and from there it can be delivered to your customers. If your volume is high I can open a new Distribution Center in California.

selling items shouldn't be a problem\nbuying things can be as some fake items are listed but depends on what you are after really

Check the local yellow pages. It has been my experience your local supply houses can sell more cheaply than an out of town or Internet supplier. The problem stems from the fact you can buy only what you can use in your business. Therefore you pay freight out of proportion to what the supplier pays to bring in a truckload of the item. Simply an economy of scale.\n\nThe only exception to this is when buying blank t-shirts. \n\nAlso the fact that your friend is artistic is not enough to start a screen printing business. The most important aspect of a business is selling. Nothing happens until someone sells something.\n\nIt has been my experience (30 years) very few artisitic types are also good at sales.\n\nGood Luck
