    explain this ebay scam to me please

    http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ort=3&since=-1

    he has hundreds of items for sale for $0.01

    some are ending in just a few minutes. I looked at his feedback and he gets about 100 feedbacks per day, all positive!

    how can this be?

    why wouldnt someone just buy all his shit and resell it?

    how is he making a profit? just off the shipping charges??
    HEY!!

                  I used to buy wholesale stuff and sell at or below cost - some even for 1 cent. Shipping and handling would make me the money.

                      Any good resources for drop-shipping companies that would work well for this?

                              Nope, sorry. I wasn't involved in drop shipping. Actually, I believe that eBay doesn't allow that.

                                  ok lets take that binder for example.

                                  say it costs $5 to ship, had to cost atleast $10 to buy because i see them online at prices like $29.99 but im guessing he went wholesale.

                                  thats $15 right there! He is doing all this for $2 profit??

                                  can it be?
                                  HEY!!

                                      amazon allows it, most products i buy on there are drop shipped to me.

                                              probably not, but let's just say he closes 100 auctions a day at $2 profit each... for very little time involved with automated listings , etc ...... not too bad

                                                  You said it.. it's all in the numbers... you count on the few things that actually go up in bid price to even out the profit. Basically if you make a buck or two on a few items but make 20 profit on a few as well it makes it balance out a bit...

                                                          nyko dvd remotes cost more than 3 usd to produce in china as ive known the factory years as was in games field.

                                                          its either stolen or hes just really broke.

                                                                          Would you mind hooking me up with that wholesaler?
