If you are a jewelry maker, and you are looking to get the most for your money when you are purchasing beads and supplies, the best way to go could be to buy wholesale. This allows you to buy in larger bulk and to order at more affordable prices per bead. Ebay has many sellers who sell beads for wholesale prices. All it takes is an eBay account, and some simple searching.
Instructions
1. Log on to ebay.com. If you don't already have an account, register for one. If you have an account, go ahead and log in.
2. Decide what kinds of beads you are looking for. Are you looking for gemstones? Glass beads? There are all kinds of beads.
3. Type "wholesale beads" into the search box at eBay. It then will probably proceed to ask you which categories to eliminate from the search results. This is where you will decide if you want glass, gemstone or Czech beads, for example.
4. Click on the category of beads in which you're interested. There will be lists of beads and sellers that you can choose from. You can browse auctions by which are ending the soonest, lowest to highest, distance, best match and highest prices, too.
5. Record the prices of some of the products that you see. The ones that you are interested in, you can add to your "watch list" by clicking, "watch this item." This will allow you to come back later should you decide to make a purchase.
6. Make a bid or purchase your item once you have found beads that you would like. Most sellers require Paypal accounts or credit accounts. This allows you to make quick purchases without having to wait for a check to clear and waiting for them to receive payment. If you have a good shopping experience with the seller, you might want to note the seller's name so that you can come back should he/she have other products for sale in the future.
