UK Sources

Below is a list of wholesale sources I have researched for our UK and other European readers. Most of these companies are located in the UK but many will ship throughout Europe and some will ship overseas. Some of them do not have web site addresses --you will need to telephone these companies for a catalogue and price list.

It may surprise you but an easy way to find wholesale sources in the UK is through the online yellow pages at http://www.yell.com/ucs/HomePageAction.do. Once you get to the page try typing "wholesale" into the search box. After you do that you will get a list of wholesale categories. There are over 75 different categories on the list. For example here is a display of just the first few --but the actual list of links you get will be much longer:

Besides online wholesalers, one of the very best places to find merchandise to sell on eBay is at one of the many wholesale trade shows held throughout the year. Here are two links where you can access trade shows by type, country, product and date:

The first one, EventsEye links to trade shows all over the world, while the second one lists trade shows in the UK only. Please read the section on trade shows in the Complete eBay Marketing System before attending one of these so you get the most out of the experience.

Here is our list of UK wholesale companies. Some of the web sites will look like a retail website and only show retail prices. When you encounter this, simply use their Contact Us form to ask for wholesale information.
