Is It A Good Idea To Resell Wholesale Refurbished Electronics?

The short answer to this is yes. There are many outlets through which you can sell refurbished electronics that make investing in them very worthwhile. Let’s take a look at a few suggestions both online, offline and in your local area.

Selling Wholesale Refurbished Electronics Online

By far the two biggest online sales platforms in the United States are eBay and Amazon. Having a presence on these platforms is seen as essential for many resellers. It’s not hard to understand why when you consider that combined, the two marketplaces clock up 290 million unique visits every month in the United States alone. That’s a lot of potential customers, so it’s no wonder so many sellers operate on eBay and Amazon.

Amazon allows refurbished goods to be sold on its Amazon Renewed site. However, to qualify to sell on it you must provide proof of at least $500,000 worth of sales receipts in the last 90 days. If you’re already an established seller, you must have an Order Defect Rate (ODR) of 0.8%. For those wishing to sell refurbished Apple products, the sums are even more eye-watering. Amazon requires proof of $2 million of receipts over the previous 90 days. So, unless you have a very low ODR or you’re a high volume seller, Amazon is a non-starter for a lot of resellers unless they’re selling new electronics, which you’ll also find on goWholesale’s website.

eBay is a better bet if you’re interested in setting up on one of the bigger name online retailers. eBay doesn’t have the same restrictions as Amazon when it comes to selling refurbished electronics on its platform, but this does come with a note of caution. It’s no secret that the site has seen its fair share of rogue sellers over the years, passing off broken or even counterfeit goods as refurbished. As a result, many buyers are understandably wary of buying from new sellers. So unless you’re an established seller with a good feedback score, expect to put some work in building up a good reputation on the site before you see sales in large volumes. It doesn’t take long to establish yourself on eBay. 

You will need to provide excellent customer service, timely deliveries, be accurate with your product descriptions and consider providing warranties on everything you sell to give customers extra peace of mind. Treat your customers well and you’ll build up a great reputation over time and see your sales increase as a result. With enough time and effort, you could even earn the coveted eBay Top Rated Seller status and become one of the most trusted sellers on the site.

Of course, eBay and Amazon aren’t the only names in town nowadays. There is a wealth of smaller eCommerce websites where you can open up a store and sell to a growing number of customers. Sites such as BigCommerce, Shopify and Wix are great places to sell your refurbished electronics and can be integrated with social media and your eBay and Amazon stores. Best of all, the smaller eCommerce sites usually offer time-limited free trials so you can take them for a spin and see if they’re a good fit for your business before you spend any of your precious budget.

As well as the bigger marketplaces and the smaller store hosts, you should also consider opening your own website. This will give you control of every aspect of your business from advertising to customer service to methods of payment to when to trigger special offers such as flash sales, voucher deals, 2-4-1 deals and much more besides. Setting up a website and linking to social media and other online sales platforms such as eBay and Shopify is cheap and easy and can attract more customers and drive up sales. Plus, having your own site means nobody else is taking a cut of your profits when you make a sale.

Selling Wholesale Refurbished Electronics Offline And In Your Local Area

Of course, selling online isn’t the only way to reach customers. While it’s true that 220 million Americans now shop online regularly, there are still plenty of customers who prefer to buy in person or from local websites. If the finances make sense, you may want to open up your own store offering not only refurbished electronics and new electronics sourced from goWholesale, but also a repair service if you happen to have the expertise or can employ someone who has. A store can attract customers who prefer to buy face-to-face, and can be twinned with your online operations.

If a store is not for you, you should consider selling through local classifieds and sites like Craigslist, OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace. For a small financial outlay – or even for nothing – you can sell to customers in your local area and build up good word of mouth. Also, selling through sites like Craigslist tends to save on postage and packaging as most customers tend to pick up their goods in person.

As well as Craigslist and local classifieds, you should also consider renting a stall from your local flea market. Stalls are relatively inexpensive and having one means you can reach customers on tighter budgets, as well as bargain hunters who don’t care about cosmetic conditions. Flea markets are ideal for selling refurbished electronics.

Refurbished Electronics – The Environmentally Friendly Way To Sell And Buy Electronics

Finally, when considering whether selling refurbished electronics is a good idea, there is the environmental aspect to consider. Nowadays, many customers are rightly concerned about the environmental impact of the goods they buy. Refurbished electronics are much more environmentally friendly than brand new electronics. Emphasising this fact to your customers across the multiple platforms you use can attract customers looking for a more eco-friendly way to source electronics.

Is it a good idea to resell wholesale refurbished electronics? With a huge range to choose from and so many ways to sell them to customers as well as their clear environmental advantages, the answer is an emphatic yes. And for the best and most affordable refurbished electronics around, you should look no further than goWholesale. We’re very much looking forward to doing business with you.
