    Hi all,
    Im just interested to see how many podiatrists or practices out there (australia and internationally) would consider using ebay as a medium to purchase items they would resell in their practices?

    Do many of you venture onto eBay regularly?

    I have plenty of suppliers and am looking at ways to start up online. Inititally, eBay is a safe way to get my stock out there but eventually I hope to have my own online store.

    Im ready to sell anything from sheets of PU/EVA/polyprop, to PMA pads/ silicone tubing, socks, heat mouldables etc


    What would be the liklihood of anyone like yourself purchasing from a new business. The items would also be non-branded, so there is opportunity to use your own brand on the products in the future.

    Once ebay is up and running, as mentioned I would be using my own website.

    Just interested to hear your thoughts....Im currently selling other items but thought Id include Podiatry into the mix.

    Cheers

    Theaussie :D

    Have bought many things via Ebay for the office, from sutures to wire drivers, but not so much resellable items, simply because the cost with shipping cut the margin down so low as to no be worth it. Things like Pedifix pads can be bought cheaper through the company than any reseller I have found so far. There was one guy who sold Spenco products at a fair discount, but he no longer has an Ebay store and the cheapest listed is now $19.99(USD), with most being $23-24.00.

    I have bought some worn uniforms which were very good value and which I was very pleased with.
