Looking for wholesaler

The main issue I think you need to consider is the cost of goods. See in this case, if you can find a cheap wholesaler near you, that would be best unless you are planning to sell mass quantities, in which case I would recommend looking at manufactureres elsewhere around the globe, mainly China - I'm sure you can find cheap T-shirt manufacturers there, import them to where you live, and print them locally..

I don't know a wholesaler but I do know a place where you can design and market your own T-shirts: Spreadshirt

You could maybe tie that to eBay - shouldn't be too hard. 

I did this as a bit of a joke earlier in the year. Surprising results

We have a client Design A Shirt that can help you out. They are located in Tempe, Arizona. The owner is John Anton - let him know you were recommended by ThoughtLava. John is a great guy - very creative and flexible.

The most reliable source that I have found is http://www.ebparadise.com They offer a list of wholesellers and factory direct links from companies all over the world.

They charge a onetime membership fee of $20.00 but it's worth it.  I was able to get authenic NFL Reebok jerseys for $18.00 each direct from the factory.

I noticed that they also have other products: apparel, electronics, automotive, etc, etc, etc.

I would definately check them out!

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, habanero, this is a question that you will never get an answer to, or at least an answer you can use. Why? Well, a couple of reasons....

 1. Anyone who has a good, genuine wholesaler won't give up the name to anyone. Why create competition for themselves, right?

2. This type of question, no matter where you ask it, will attract scammers who are selling different types of "wholesaler directories" that are full of nothing but broken links and junk.

 I'm not a "scammer," but I have been a professional eBay seller for 6 years and have done my homework when it comes to wholesalers. I will tell you, if you want to find a genuine wholesaler, visit the URL in my signature.
