WholesaleCentral.com is basically a directory of wholesale suppliers and products.  You are also able to use their “Wholesale Power Search” feature to search the site for specific wholesale products.  For a fee, you can list your items in their directory, currently $299 for 6 months.  Overall, this is a good place to start if you’re trying to find your place in the wholesale market.  Also, if you’ve ever searched for the term “wholesale” you’ve probably seen their site before.

When I started selling wholesale merchandise, WholesaleCentral was a great resource for me.  The directory is clearly laid out, and the Wholesale Power Search actually returns mostly relevant results.  It was good for researching potential products to sell.  You can easily zip through and compare several wholesale sources before deciding who has the best price and terms.

Once you have a supplier, be it from WholesaleCentral or another source, you probably want to start selling those items to make some money.  Once you’re ready to go, you can sign up to sell your items on their site.  If you have an acceptable profit margin, and can actually make a few sales per month, the $299 fee really isn’t that bad.  Over 6 months, it’s only $50/mo.  If you’re not making $50 per month in sales, you need to rethink your offering, or ramp up your marketing and advertising.

This isn’t an ad for WholesaleCentral.com.  When I used their services in the past, I truly got results.  The additional sales I received because of my listing with them paid for the fee many times over.  I encourage you to do your own due diligence, but SellWholesale.com officially endorses WholesaleCentral.com.
