Well...hundreds of other people have the same idea. The average sell through rate of all items on eBay is about 30%; however, in the handbags category, the sell through rate is so much higher. It’s hard not to see the potential of a good business opportunity…which is also a problem.

The designer handbag business is huge. In 2008 the industry was worth more than $2 Billion USD. This fact has attracted many crooks as well. Counterfeit goods manufacturing funds terrorism, child labor abuse, organized crime and other unthinkable acts. Don’t ever sell them. Don’t ever buy them - even if the seller is upfront about it. It’s simply not OK.

Understandably, the legitimate sources of discount designer handbags are closely guarded. Yet there are many websites offering you discount designer handbags. There are even more “wholesale lists” selling out of date and unverified information.

Unfortunately, the chance that you will get ripped off at least once is high. The fact that you got a source of discount designer handbags from a list that you paid for and want to trust doesn’t mean anything.

So how can you be sure you are not going to get ripped off?

Before you buy from any wholesaler or source of discount designer handbags, do the following:

* Make sure they have a phone number and call them.

* Check their address with the local business license office of the city and state where they claim to be working. You would be surprised to learn how many of them are not entirely honest about their business location.

* Ask if you could come to the warehouse to inspect the merchandise, even if you are not planning to do so. Transparency is what you are looking for.

* Request a ‘sanitized invoice’ from your source to prove that the merchandise came directly from the designer manufacturer or from a dealer authorized by the designer manufacturer. Chances are you won’t get one.

* Make sure they are listed with the Better Business Bureau and check for any complaints.

* Google them to find out if people are complaining.

* NEVER pay with Wire Transfer or Money Order, no exceptions. ALWAYS pay with credit card, PayPal or Google Checkout. This is for your protection so you can ask for the chargeback if you were defrauded.

A legitimate designer handbag wholesaler:

* Will not require you to pay an "account setup fee". There should be no additional fees, other than the fee of the merchandise itself and the shipping costs.

* Ships authentic designer handbags always with two things included - authenticity cards/tags and dust covers.

* Offers you a money-back guarantee on the authenticity of their handbags.

* Should not wholesale Louis Vuitton, as Louis Vuitton places very strict guidelines on whom they wholesale their handbags to, making it nearly impossible to purchase Louis Vuitton at wholesale.

If you follow this checklist, you can be pretty sure you won’t get scammed.
