Goods from china are relatively cheap compared to other
countries. Websites like www.alibaba.com www.aliexpress.com , www.dhlgate.com and others provide a window to the Chinese market.
In fact, on Alibaba, you can choose to buy from other countries other than
china as Alibaba is an International marketplace where buyers and sellers can
meet.
A common market for new entrants into this business is to
import electronics as they are in high demand and non perishable. These include
cheap android phones, wrist-watches, tablets, laptops, phone accessories,
computer accessories, etc. Another commodity
that sells fast is zip-lock bags. Whether they are from china or South-Africa,
it doesn’t matter. What matters is the bargain you are able to make on
purchases, reduction of shipping costs and of course local demand for whatever
you are importing.
Other goods in high local demand are chocolates, biros,
memory sticks, memory cards, ink cards for photocopying machines, A4 paper for
printing and photocopy, footwear, baby clothes etc. All these can be gotten
online at a bargain especially if you buy in bulk. Make sure to use the ESCROW
payment option so as to guard against fraudulent traders.
The ESCOW payment option is one in which the online company
e.g. Alibaba collects the money for each trading from the buyer and does not
pay the seller until the buyer has received the goods. This helps transparency
and helps you to make sure that you all goods you pay for will be delivered to
you.
