Ask me anything - I am well established online business owner

Which courier / shipping company will be good in Canada. On ebay there are many companies who are selling the products which have the worth of 2$ only. But for 2$ item they are offering free shipping.

Hows this possible? I ordered many items from ebay and they ship me that product in 2$ only with free shipping.

But i am surprised that hows this possible. Do u have any idea about the shipping cost?????????

you can only sell that price if you are really big seller. or you are shipping items from china. and also at this price quality would be really bad and you will get negative feedbacks for it.
but if you are not big seller with good amount of sales then it is not possible for you to compete them. because in this case you will earn in pennys and with that you get alot of customer related headache.
there is no way you could do this even in canada. i believe in canada even shipping without tracking would be about 1 usd.
so its not possible for newbies to sell on that price. you only can if you drop ship from china. and tell your customers it will take about 10-20 days.

Brother Mahmood,
Thanks for your time. I want to start a small business in UK but there is so much competition for islamic dresses for ladies. every other girl is doing it on FB and Instagram. how do i start from scratch?

when you sell something. then you check its market. you are limiting your self to very very lower category. if you want to sell then sell dresses dont be specific as if you want to sell islamic dressing.
you should just sell dresses and in that you sell islamic dressing british dressing everything.
if you are just starting best way is to do by ebay amazon. then slowly keep building your social media and then start your own website.

I am doing online business through Ebay and Facebook from last many years. Now I start my sale with play.com. This guy effort is good to give guidance but main problem is that you can do online business only in Europe or all over the world but not in Pakistan. First I start my business with Asian especially Pakistani cloth but there was no market for me because Pakistani or indian Customer are worst ever customer in online business point of view. For example I advertise one asian dress which making cost me about 2000 in Pakistan. When I put it in Ebay I got offer from PAkistani customer to sell them with just 5 pound which is just rubbish so I start only English dress and Accessories and now My business is running very well by Grace of Allah. During this month my total sales more then 30000 pound just for my ebay and amazon business. It is very easy business to do but you have to do a lot of research to add new item in your store to earn money.

you know what brother. this is exactly the point when you say difficult in pakistan to do online business. i say yes but i dont think its not possible. i believe payoneer can help you out.
on the other hand if any web developers are reading this post then why not some one make a website similar to stripe or paypal or skrill in pakistan. whoever provides pakistani customers money back guarantee would have instant success.

mujhay apki soch say ikhtlaf hay. meanwhile there are people who are themselves not participating in building a strong pakistan and they are busy complaining we have nothing there at the same there are people who are making future out of it.
khair yes i believe it not that straight forward in pakistan. but bhai take it this way you are talking about a place which has never been explored. one thing we know is that there are customers in pakistan. there are people who want to buy online. now a days pakistan has progresses alot most of people have bank cards now.
so in this situation whoever goes to little extra mile he will get rich in pakistan. making money can be simple. formula is provide the people services which make their lives easy. and you will make money.
now you know there is trust issue in online business. they why dont you make an online payment processing website like paypal. which is trusted by buyers. buyers will contact you and you refund them if they are right. its straight forward.
i seriously believe in pakistan there is alot of potential but there is no one who is providing pakistan audience exposure to other world. once anyone does that he will get rich.
i think straight away creating a website is not going to work. first of all you have to make sure you have customers who are willing to buy from you. only then make a website. for finding customers easiest way is to do it through social media. you will have to use your brains to build it too.

Hi Mahmood,

I want to start selling on ebay (UK) and amazon (UK) but pricing is a issue.. everything i wanted to sell is already there on a very cheap price.. and vendors prices are higher on alibaba, i specially looked for pakistani companies for gents shirts and textile to promote pak businesses but it didn't add up in terms of profit.


Any idea where to buy textile or clothing on alibaba or similar sites?
how much capital is required pound sterling?

any advice would be appreciated and it will help many keyboard warriors to earn some cash InshAllah :)

 

[ghori303]

thats why i said you can ask me any question.

My question is "When we will get rid of these Noora Brothers and Zardari Family?"

 

[Mahmood Sani]

when you stop being hypocrate and instead of blaming others for what pakistan is start blaming yourself.

i just inboxed you. i would say dont spend at the first go too much on stock if you just started to sell. dont spend more than 200-400. go on facebook. like different pages. and see which posts are getting responses there. do same on ebay amazon.
