...i've been seeing this on seller hub for awhile, out of boredom i hit the link...lol, has anyone else seen this? Is this a joke? not only they not have anything worth your time or money, the photos are a bunch of items thrown into a box, and called "bulk wholesale" - if one my suppliers ever sent me stuff like that I'd send it right back for a refund.

I can't see a link like that in my Seller Hub, but thanks for the 'heads up' in case it turns up!

every time you enter seller hub the message they display changes, current I think 3 different ones display, but which one will be different every time. https://www.ebay.com/str/bulq?_trkparms=%26clkid%3D3928011195274536460

I went to the site. While there is certainly nothing I would be interested in, it certainly meets the description of "bulk" (in large quantities) and "wholesale" (the selling of goods in large quantities to be retailed by others).

really? I have been buying bulk and wholesale for years, never once got anything like that. The prices on things like shoes idk, maybe good price, don't deal in clothing. But everything I've even bought in bulk has always been packaged well never just thrown into box randomly like used good will donations lol.

Aren't those Bulq listings return pallets and/or shelf pulls? Sounds like they could be a mix of a whole bunch of random garbage with maybe (if you're lucky) a few good things at the bottom of the box.

idk really, the listings I did click (which admit was only like two i clicked on) descriptions doesn't say anything just gives a chart of the contents manifest... so if they are shelf pulled idk, doesn't say that in the listings I looked at but could explain the lack of packaging for the items (such as boxes for shoes, and instead loose)

I know a few fellow sellers who have gotten clothing lots from BULQ - they're returns, overages, shelf-pulls, whatever, but it wasn't 'thrown in a box' - the actual brands vary and condition may be an issue.

"Aren't those Bulq listings return pallets and/or shelf pulls? Sounds like they could be a mix of a whole bunch of random garbage with maybe (if you're lucky) a few good things at the bottom of the box."

they can be return or shelf pulls but they are not mixed together, each pallet contains the same condition items.. you can search them by new shelf pulled, damaged shelf pulled, returns and i believe 1 or 2 more ways. Been a while since I brought that way. they are sorted by categories too, like cosmetics, automotive, hardware, etc.

yes, they are not necessary packed good, just thrown in a big box.

Not sure about the ones listed on sellers hub because i didn't look there but when you buy directly from bulq they give a list of what is in there, the original selling price and the price they want now and if it is free shipping or not. then after so many hours of not selling, they drop the price again. They keep dropping the price until someone buys it.

i am just guessing that the ones on seller hub are ones being resold by people buying these bulk lots? Like i said i never looked at the ones here. but i know a guy that just walked through a warehouse full of these that were brought and now those people are reselling them at about 50% of the listed value. I asked why he doesn't buy directly himself and get the bigger discount and have the shipping taken care off and he wasn't aware how to. He does now.

That whole site is kind of clunky, but the merchandise they got was not the sort of tangled mess that some of that appears - some in bags, some not. One who ordered home goods got duplicates of some things, other items not salable.

On the whole, I decided not to use BULQ mostly because of the stuff didn't sell first go round, I didn't me selling it the second/third time around.

ETA: to late to edit but they purchased adult women's clothing. Folded and piled inside, not pretty, but not tossed around and not like the bins at the Goodwill where everything is a snarled mess. I don't know about the home goods - didn't ask how they arrived.

Made an entire video about it cause I couldn't believe how **bleep** this "partnership" is. What is eBay thinking?

Lots of ranting about the liquidation biz in general

The new sellers will be all over this. Hopefully it doesn't end up pushing people away.

I've got about 40,000 items in my storage I could throw in a box like this if eBay wants to hook me up with a partnership too. Can even take a 40-50% cut.
