Product Sourcing for E-commerce Sellers
Your margin is decided before you ever launch the listing — at the supplier you pick. We source for online sellers every day: we know which factories pass Amazon audits, which quotes are real, and how to get private-label MOQs down to where a test order is actually affordable.
Sound familiar?
- ✕Your Alibaba 'factory' is a trader with three markups stacked in.
- ✕The winning product you found costs more landed than the competition sells for.
- ✕MOQs quoted would tie up your entire budget in one SKU.
- ✕Quality photos exist; quality products don't always follow.

+Can you source from a competitor ASIN?
Yes — send the ASIN or listing link. We identify the likely manufacture cluster, come back with factory options and the realistic landed cost to your marketplace.
+What's the minimum to test a product?
Many of our sellers start at 100–300 units. We negotiate trial MOQs specifically so a test doesn't consume your whole inventory budget.
+Do you sign NDAs for private label?
Yes — mutual NDAs and supplier agreements protecting your designs and listings are standard before any specs go out.
