I need to what are the most interesting items from srilanka ?

[theteamsetguy]

Do you mean what items will sell? Just because something is interesting doesn’t mean it will sell.

Hello and welcome.

This is a tough question to answer specifically as not many Americans are well-versed in Sri Lanka’s exports. But i can answer generally.

The selection of what to sell needs to be something a seller can easily source: something economically available, that can be shipped internationally without customs issues, and is in plentiful supply. Preferably something not being sold by everyone else.

What to sell will require a working knowledge of the American market, in selecting an item(s) that will interest its buyers. And be able to sell at a price-point that makes good financial sense.

It is not an easy thing to find such an item to sell. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

Whatever you decide, my strong advice is to avoid drop-shipping cheap stuff from China.

Wishing you much good luck  in your endeavors.

Not coconut products.

     In addition to the advise provided by fashunu4eeuh realize that less than 1/2 of eBay's sales are from the U.S. buyers. China probably has the most lucrative market buyer base and probably explains why they holds 4 of the top 10 ecommerce sites, by revenues, worldwide.

You are in Sri Lanka. 

The rest of us are in the US. This is the US board.

You are asking us what are the most interesting things in Sri Lanka?

I find this post quite disruptive.

If you were in the USA, as a student, or a new immigrant, or a family, what would you miss from back home?

I know my immigrant family (Scotland ) are still buying marmalade, IrnBru, oatcakes, and tinned pies although we came here 70 years ago.

I looked for Sri Lankan groceries - I found curry leaves, herb and spice mixes, tea (obviously), Maliban brand biscuits, treacles and jaggery, various bottled fish, pickles and chutney.

The men in my family occasionally wear  our national dress- kilt, sporran, velvet jackets, or imported tweeds.

Would emigrant Sri Lankans be interested in buying sarongs and sarees? Choli?  Or just fabrics-- how about batiks?

If you found those suggestions useful, you might also include part of your Description in Sinhalese as well as English.

Sellers with initiative.

Jack fruit seeds

Seeds and plants are prohibited on ebay.  Other countries prohibit them via customs as well.

Here's a link that can better inform you:
