EJ Bantz & Dan on IMPORTING from CHINA as product sourcing!

EJ Bantz is a full-time eBay seller and carries many products he imports from China. n686272011_5727His success is great and only eclipsed by his willingness to share with others and desire to see others succeed as well. The best place to find EJ is on his new PORTAL site EJBantz.com or his facebook page where I find him often, LOL

I have truly enjoyed getting to know EJ through the eBay Radio Super-Secret-Chat-Board and it was wonderful to meet in person at the eBay Radio Vegas Convention! Was a lot of fun. EJ is so willing to share – and we just didn’t have enough time to thoroughly pick his brain in Vegas so we plan to do that tonight!

Dan is the owner of Quality Shipping Supplies (formerly LabelDog shipping supplies) – where I’ve been purchasing most of my shipping labels for a while now.

One of Dan’s new partners is Jeff Plitt of Plitt International, and he has written a book on our subject.

Jeff ‘s company specializes in providing expertise to people and companies, large and small, that want to take advantage of the opportunities in China.
After many years of experience working with the Chinese, Jeff decided to write a book, Sourcing From China, a Guide for Small to Medium Businesses, detailing the process from beginning to end.
Jeff talks about everything from deciding if China is right for you, to finding factories, to negotiating prices, to sampling, to placing orders, to getting the product through customs, to finally getting it to your warehouse.  Skid quantities, container quantities, shipload quantities, Jeff walks you through the process. You can purchase the book on Dan’s site Quality Shipping Supplies,
So the plan for tonight is to open up the floor and let YOU ask the experts. Have you ever considered importing? or thought about it? here is your chance to ask your questions!
