Jewelry Wholesale and eBay Auctions

eBay is a great place to find almost any item that 

you can imagine. Jewelry wholesale auctions are 

quite common on eBay, and in many cases, you 

cannot beat the deals that are offered here. 

However, there are also many con artists that 

operate through eBay, and you have to use caution.


Start by reading all of the fine details about the 

jewelry wholesale lots that you are purchasing. If 

you still have questions, send those questions to 

the seller through eBay’s website. Make sure that 

you keep all of your contact with the seller through 

the website so that there is documentation.


Check out the person or company that is offering 

the jewelry wholesale. Look at their ratings and their 

feedback. Has there been any negative feedback? 

If so, you may want to reconsider your options and 

look into other auctions. If the feedback is all 

positive, and the seller’s rating is high, doing 

business with them should not be a problem.


Make sure that you are clear about shipment costs 

and the shipment time frame, as well as the 

payment options offered. Usually, the buyer is 

responsible for the shipment costs, and this is 

added to the total and paid before the item ships. 

In the case of high ticket items, insurance may 

be required on the item as well. The seller seldom 

pays the shipping costs. 


If the jewelry wholesale is a high ticket item, such 

as jewelry that is bought in bulk or rare pieces of 

expensive jewelry, you should strongly consider 

using the escrow service that is recommended by 

eBay. If the seller recommends any escrow service 

other than the one that eBay recommends, you 

might not want to do business with this seller – it 

could be a scam. 


Beware of sniper’s on eBay! Sniping is against the 

rules at eBay, but a large group of people do it 

anyway. Sniping is automatic bidding, which is not 

against the rules, but the software or service is 

instructed to place the highest bid in the last 

possible minute of the auction – leaving no time for 

anyone else to place a higher bid. Again, this is 

against eBay’s rules.


Instead of sniping, place your first bid at the 

maximum amount that you are willing to pay for 

the jewelry wholesale lot. Each time the bid is 

raised, your bid will automatically be raised – until 

your limit is reached. This is not sniping, and it is 

a perfectly legal way to bid on auctions at eBay.

Jewelry Wholesale and Estate Sales

Buying jewelry wholesale at estates sales is  actually quite easy. In fact, in most cases, this is  the easiest way to get very rare or old pieces at or  below jewelry wholesale prices! There is, however,  a method to the madness when it comes to walking  away with an heirloom piece at a rock bottom price! Most people have estate sales when a person has  died. Unless the person was extremely wealthy, an  appraisal of all of the items that will be sold is not  done…and in most cases, the people holding the  sale are heirs that simply want to cash in. They  have no idea what the real value of what they are  selling is. Furthermore, these sales are often run  just like your average garage sale, with items  marked at incredibly low prices! You can literally  walk away with thousands of dollars of jewelry for  just a few dollars. Even if the jewelry is not that valuable, the pieces  of the jewelry may be of some use to you when you  are constructing your own pieces. You can  carefully take

How to Select Jewelry Wholesale Beads

When purchasing wholesale jewelry beads, you  must use care. You don’t want to end up with beads  that aren’t worth anything to you! Selecting beads  takes a lot of thought – we aren’t talking about  plastic beads that children use to make jewelry. We  are talking about quality beads used to make grown  up jewelry! Avoid cheap plastic beads. This may be suitable for  some pieces, but it isn’t very durable – or very  pretty. Instead, buy glass beads or Lucite beads.  These are not only durable, they are very shiny and  pretty. They do not have the ‘cloudy’ look of plastic  beads.  Inspect the beads for imperfections if possible.  Beads that are ‘lopsided’ won’t do. Beads that are  chipped, broken, or scratched are useless. Don’t  purchase these beads no matter how cheap they  are! Most jewelry wholesale beads are sold in bulk. In  this case, you probably won’t have the opportunity  to inspect the beads, so ask about the exchange  policy. Will you be able to exchange the beads that  are

Importing Jewelry Wholesale

If you are considering importing jewelry wholesale,  you might want to see what your other options are.  When jewelry is imported, there are additional  costs, such as high shipping costs, that you may  not be prepared to pay. There are also other issues  to consider as well. Customs is a major issue, because some materials  that come from endangered animals are outlawed in  the United States – ivory for example. When  importing jewelry, you need to be sure that all of  the materials that make up the jewelry can be  legally imported.  The possibility of not getting what you paid for is  another consideration that you must think about. If  you order from someone outside of the United  States – where the United States has no legal  jurisdiction – there won’t be anything you can do if  you are ripped off. If you are importing jewelry  wholesale, make sure that you are dealing with a  reputable company. Usually, if you can find the same pieces of jewelry  for sale in the United States, at
