What Can You Sell?
Shopster has one of the largest warehouses on the Internet. There are more than 700,000 products from which to choose, organized into 25+ major categories and multiple subcategories. If you can think of a product or line of products you'd like to sell, you'll probably find it here.
The key advantages to the Shopster system are that you never have to worry about inventory, product delivery or sourcing. All you have to do is identify the products you want to sell, create your niche, and start selling.
The warehouse gives you access to following lines (as of 6 June 2006), and, when you select the products you want to sell, you can also choose from which country they will be shipped. This allows you to specify, for example, only products from Canadian suppliers.
