What should I know when selling phone cases on eBay?

[anbingshop]

Hi eBay community

I'm planning to start selling phone cases on eBay Australia this year. My plan is to import them from China and starts selling domestically within Australia. 

For selling phone cases, I'm wondering if you guys can share your experiences, and methods for:

1. Shipping the phone cases to customers. What options you are using that is safe, reliable, cheap and effective?

2. Set pricing for them?

3. Helpful and important information/tips that can be applied to me as a new seller?

Thank you very much for your help!

To add to what everyone else has said, phones update quite regularly, so you are likely to end up with a lot of stock you can't sell. People with older phones don't generally buy new cases. They may have bought one when they bought the phone. So, in 6 months, you could have a stack of cases for older phones that no one wants.

Phone cases, women's clothing and cds/dvds are saturated categories, so avoid like the plague.

Every man and his dog along with half the sellers from China sell phone cases and impossible to compete against their prices.

You will make more money selling water out of a tap...
