Sell to wholesaler....?

[bluekelly4590]

Hello Ebay sellers,

I have come here anytime I have had questions or wanted feedback and sincerely appreciate the information and education y'all have provided. So, here I am again,

95% of my sales are skincare products. My sales, like so many others are horrible, I have been subjected to returns where someone emptied out a jar and filled it with something else and while reporting this to Ebay she is still active so I am not comfortable with information I have obtained from customer service. I trust what y'all have to say.  I have been approached by a wholesaler to purchase items (the ones priced on the higher end for skincare items). Before we agree on a purchase price they want to know how many I have, etc. They have only been registered on Ebay as of June 2019. Their feedback is a total of 28 positives, however the items that were purchased did not have what the item was. While I understand they do not want to show information that may be "interesting" to other sellers I was hoping to know more.  Based on what I have said would you feel comfortable in selling to them? To my knowledge 99% of my sales are to individuals or they have appeared that way. This is my first encounter of such.Just let me know what you think. I would very much appreciate your 2 cents on this. Also, I am skittish due to the fact that Ebay has created a return policy that is ripe with abuse and sellers are losing a lot of money.  Thanks again any information is greatly appreciated.

Personally, I would thank them for their interest and tell them you are unable to make a deal as the price is as low as you can make it. 

Follow what your instincts are telling you.

When someone asks me "how many do you have?" my standard answer is "I have some, how many do you want?"

The last time this happened (earlier this year) they ended up buying almost $5,000 of my stuff.

Thank you so much! They may be perfectly honest, but that it why I reached out. I just have doubts with so little feedback and a general unease about the situation. Again, thank you for taking the time to help me, it is sincerely appreciated.

Thank you so much for your help. It is sincerely appreciated. Once again, the community comes through for me. I know the customer service reps are trying, but sometimes I am unsure if I have received the correct information. The last time I called CS (last week) , she put me on hold 3 times to go and check to see if she gave me the correct answer.
