If you are an eBay seller,Car DVD Players, Five Questions You Have To Ask Your Suppliers Articles you might be shopping around for a "hot" product to resell that is in high demand, with a good margin of profit.

If so---look no further!

Car DVD players are definitely a HOT item on eBay. And if you choose your supplier wisely, you will make a tidy profit for yourself on every sale.

DVD players for cars have been a popular item for several years. But right now, it's vacation time and consequently, sales of car DVD players are soaring!

As people take to the road on long vacation trips, many want to install a DVD player in the vehicle, especially when they are traveling with children.

If you choose a wholesale supplier from China, for example, with excellent car DVD players backed by a full warranty; you will pay less than half the price of a comparable brand name product. This allows you a lot of leeway on pricing! You can sell your car DVD players on eBay at extremely competitive prices, and still come out way ahead in the profit department.

** What are two technical questions you should ask a supplier? **

Technical questions sort out the men from the boys as it were and will let you know if you are dealing with a supplier who is proud and enthusiastic about their product or just another wheeler-dealer trying to make a buck.

1. Is the player region free?
2. Is the software legal?

You should be worried if the supplier says the car DVD player is not region free, because this means that it may not work wherever the customer lives.

Be worried, too, if the software is illegal, because if it is a trial version, the customer will not be able to upgrade it, and the trial period will expire, leaving the customer with nothing.

Also, illegal or pirated software is just that....illegal. You don't want or need to break the law!

** What are two logistical questions you should ask? **

The next thing to work out is how you plan to get the car DVD players from A to B, or from the supplier's warehouse to your customer's door. Or your door if you do not have a dropship supply chain management system in place

1. Does the supplier have a Delivery Guarantee?
2. Does the supplier use only reputable couriers for shipment?

If the supplier does not offer a Delivery Guarantee then there is no reason for you to buy products from them, especially if you are dropshipping.

What if the item is lost or damaged in transit? If there is no Delivery Guarantee, you will be left holding the bag.

The same goes for suppliers who don't use reputable couriers for shipment.

If the supplier says they ship by Lazy Joe's Discount Shipping & Stump Removal Company---hit the back button and find another supplier post haste!

** What is one quality control question you should ask a supplier? **

You should always ask a supplier if they practice double Quality Control. This simply means that the products are inspected by QC both at the manufacturing plant, and then again at the supplier's warehouse.

If the supplier doesn't do this, you should not resell products bought from them because they are liable to be inferior, which would be very bad for your business!

By asking your supplier these five questions you are making sure that you, and your customer, are going to get the very best service and products possible.

After all it is your reputation on the line if your supplier messes up. Not your suppliers. So why give unreliable unethical suppliers the benefit of your business.
