Check out Facebook—there’s this girl using the name Maja Klicek Paola. Once you see her profile, you'll totally get what I was talking about! I managed to track down where she sources everything, but like I mentioned before... the whole sales and shipping setup doesn't actually make any sense—there's zero profit coming from the shipping side of things. Honestly, I'm at a loss for words. You have to hand it to her, though—what she's pulled off is pretty incredible. I honestly have no clue how she does it, but wow...🤷

Would you mind sharing which sites you usually order from? I'd love to do a little digging and study them up myself!

Are you ordering your inventory here in the States too, or are you importing everything? How’s business treating you lately? Once you’ve really found your groove, what kind of monthly take-home are we talking about?
As for the legal side of things—I'd probably register as a sole proprietorship or some smaller setup to keep it simple—my mom was mentioning that if I went the full corporation route, the tax hit would be way higher... though I'm not 100% sure on the specifics yet!

From what I can tell, everything she’s peddling is just counterfeit designer gear. She probably avoids shipping to her own place—sending everything straight to the customer instead—because I’ve read that if they suspect reselling, they just start cracking open packages when the volume gets too high.
Alright, I get the whole discount thing, but honestly, there's zero logic in paying $180 for a T-shirt including shipping just to flip it for $220—especially since you end up getting hit with all those extra little fees if you're registered... and yeah, I am definitely reporting that.
Are you ordering through Taobao too? I'm honestly at a loss—trying to figure out how to make some extra cash on the side. It's just me and my mom working, and it's just not cutting it. I thought this would be a breeze, but man, it is incredibly complicated. Just awful... 😕

Do you happen to have any more intel on this? Like, where should I go looking—maybe some specific sites—or who’s actually worth contacting? Every single site I check seems to charge the exact same shipping fees, which obviously scale up with weight... but honestly, $27 just to ship one single T-shirt? Bitch, please.

For instance—I found these sweatpants from a vendor in China $28, and they're listed here for $67. Once you factor in the shipping costs, there's zero point in buying them... you'd basically be paying extra just to lose money.

Hi there!

I have a few questions regarding importing stuff from China. I’ve been browsing sites like Taobao or MisterTaobao—you know, those platforms that handle shipping to the US—but I'm hitting a wall. Some items priced at, say, 100 yuan end up costing nearly as much as something from $33, and once you factor in the shipping costs to get it here, the math just doesn't seem to add up! That said, I saw this one girl who seems to be consistently ordering their products (likely through an agent) and she's selling them for double—maybe even more—the original price and making a killing. Does anyone know the secret? What am I missing?

I've been wrestling with this for a while now—and honestly, I'm feeling a little lost—but I just can't figure out where the catch is!🙂🙂🙂🙂🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
