Re:Designer stuff from china .

"Designer" like Louis Vuitton(high end luxury items) or like Ralph Lauren(mid-market department store items)?

In either case, the brand may be made in China, but the entire order is only sold to the brand. 

Any "wholesale" lots are counterfeit, or seconds, or stolen. Usually the first.

Quality will be low and it is quite likely that the items will never be shipped. In fact, they may not exist. You are dealing with criminals, after all.

If you do receive the product, your customers are likely to be reporting you to eBay for selling counterfeits. Which is a criminal offense, by the way.

"very low price from china. "

 

If it's low, it isn't designer, is it?

 

Designer products are not sold wholesale but cheap counterfeits are.

 

I used to have a business license and a reseller's permit which meant I could buy directly from wholesalers. My line of products were considered giftware or gifts.

 

I never had a physical store. I only sold online. When I first started back in 1997, not too many people had home based online businesses (there were plenty but not like it is now). A lot of the wholesalers back then would not sell to anyone who had home based businesses. Some required that you have a physical store of a certain square footage and a certain volume of sales before they would allow you to buy their products for resale.

 

Designers are the same way. They do not sell to homebased businesses and they only allow their products to be sold at retail stores that have a certain sales volume.

 

If super designer X usually sells their ugly handbags for $1,000 at one of the super high priced retail stores, they most certainly would not price their products low enough to be sold by a wholesaler for only $50 (or whatever price the fake wholesaler is charging).

Non paying buyers deserve unpaid item strikes.
