Hi,mylotters,how are u there?did not wrrite discussions for a long time ,but today i have something to talk with u,about the business type.
firstly,I would like to share a happy thing with u,it is that ,I made a business on internet recently,the total amount is 145$,although not a big amount ,but it is still a big encourage for me.and what's more ,I made this business with a Italy friend,an internationly business, and she gave me a good comment.
Any way,maybe this is a good beginning of my internet business.and here I would like to dicsuss with u about the better type of business and the trend of busiess type??(here ,what I mean the business is selling)
For my experience in China,I remember ,the most early type of business is selling on the road,yes ,the most traditional type for me.and then,there are some stores appeared on the side of the road for selling, after a while,a supermarket appeared,later international business appeared just because of over-production of sth,as the internet grows,the internet business is growing,and it is really a popular fashion ,espeacially for young.as u can see there are so manny types of business,no matter the traditionals or fashion?here I wanna ask for ur sugguestions for each type of business ?the following are my points of some types.
For the traditional type,(selling on the raod ,store,super market,)advantage:the buyers,could see and feel the real goods,and even change discuss with the seller for the quality and prices face to face.the disadvatage :the scope of buyers is limited ,only for local people and few visters,the market is limited.what's extra,the type of the goods is also limited ,can not satisfy the more and mroe needs of different ages and habbits.

You are right and there is a lot more, lol.
I wonder how come no one haven't respond so far...
If you sell online, you put your product on sale and you can go to sleep. The buyer will be able to pay you and you will be able to send him the product later with the post office.
Plus , you don't have to pay the rent every month for having a physical store. You just pay a small fee for putting the product for sale. You don't need workers in your store , you don't need to fix things in your store, the buyer cannot physically take and run away with the product, you can make friends abroad.
Your product is available 24/7 until you remove it or someone buys it.
Most of the time you can make the sale in a way people will be able to fight for it, offering a higher price each time and the one who wins is happy and he paid even more than what you wanted.
You have the feedback system on Ebay.
The bad things is that you need to learn a lot of material before you get started, there are many obstacles and books you better read and follow carefully if you don't want to make mistakes and get banned or just give up.

Wow, It's a lot of time since I have last been here, on mylot.
I'm not an Ebay seller, I had started to read a book about selling on Ebay a little before you started this discussion.
How is your bussiness now ?
Can you please tell me how you started the bussiness ? Where there any problems you had to think about ?

Hey,
Yes,of course I met some problems since I started my business.But now,I do not sell on Ebay,because Ebay is origin from US,some rules are not suitable for me,for example,the money collection,it is not convenient for a small city.Also because of the limitation of on line goods' quantity.So I gave E-bay on line selling.Now ,I am engaging in Ali-express,which I am managing well.that---A small quantity wholesaling&retailing website is a branch of Alibaba.
The thing I have to think about is :response every inquiry in time,shipping time,feedback,money collection,US rate,packing,new products developing,etc.Many many things.
Haha,any way,I am doing it well.By the way,I sell good to Israel also,really!!hahahahaha!!!
Take care !!
