Thinking about adding ...

[chariot_badges]

I have an extra account.   It is aged.   It has a respectable number of favorable feedbacks.

I'm thinking about doing CPR and bringing it back to life.

The small auto parts store I got is doing ok, it is almost where I want it to be ... almost.

I'm thinking about opening the other store and selling the stuff that people use every day. 

Dish soap, toothpaste, foot powder, deodorant ... stuff.

It can be gotten for about $1.50 on average for each, and from what I see there is sufficient margin to make it worthwhile.

But, I remember seeing seller lament about eBay requiring proof of purchase and when insufficient proof is submitted the account gets shut down.   Permanently.

So, what's the deal on that?  If I buy a pallet of misc personal care items, how do I prove that the jar of make up I sold was purchased and not stolen?   Do I need to make sure that the makeup is individually listed on the invoice? 

I want to be proactive with this? 

How do I do that?

My wholesale adventures involved purchasing gaylords of shelf pulls, etc. in apparel. You have to be very careful where you buy because some places advertise "brand names" and send you a bunch of cheap chit and Amazon throw-backs, so some research is needed to avoid these places. I never did pull the trigger on purchasing skids of returns/overage, etc. from large chain drugstores though I did eventually work with someone who did pretty well with that sort of thing, but it was really rough work.

Mostly, it's important to vet your sources - there are lots of places.

I've done other bulk lots but its been here and there.
