Would You Like to Dramatically Increase Your Ebay Sales?
Cut out wholesalers and start importing low cost products direct from China!
Hi my name is Adam Gilbourne and thanks for reading my listing.
First of all I can assure you that you haven’t read anything like this on eBay before. I run my own export company in Shanghai, China and by using my company you can rapidly grow your business / eBay sales!
I am an English bloke born and bred (from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK) and I have been living in Shanghai for the past seven years.
In 2005 I started Easy Imex (Easy Import Export) – a company which allows you to import products direct from China – with no prior experience or knowledge. To date we’ve helped over 900 businesses and individuals import from China.
Easy Imex has a simple mission: Make it easy for small businesses and traders to buy cheap products from China.
We started off exporting mini motos/pocket bikes. However, since then we have moved into a wide range of products and exported just about everything you can imagine, from DVD Players, slushie machines, Computer components, Garden Furniture, Jewellery, Car accessories, Alloy Wheels, bathroom suites, Kitchen appliances, MP3 players, Dog nappies, Pool tables, Clothing, Beds and mattresses, hair clippers, tool box’s, Digital Photo Frames and not forgetting of course kitchen sinks!
Don’t let this small list deceive you. If it’s made in China, we can source it for you. So if you are wondering – “can they do the product I want” – the answer is yes we can most of the time.
Why use Easy Imex?
You get three important advantages:
Get you started right away – many people dream about importing, but never actually do it because of all the hard work involved. We do all of the hard work for you.
You’re protected from making expensive mistakes – Importing from China is a complete minefield and you’d be foolish to go into this without learning a lot yourself or having experienced team on the ground to help you.
You save huge amounts of time – it’s very time consuming sourcing products, working with shipping companies and trying to work with Chinese suppliers. Easy Imex take a huge weight off your shoulders. You can spend your time searching for niche markets and marketing products to your customers – not dealing with overseas trade problems.
Why do so many eBay traders use Easy Imex? Here’s what some members say:-
“I STARTED OUT DOING SMALL MIXED CONTAINER LOADS AND NOW I’M ORDERING FULL CONTAINERS”
“Easy Imex is incredibly helpful. They’ve been a huge lifesaver for my business! I started out only doing small mixed container loads and now I’m ordering full containers. They deal with every little detail of the importing process. Now I have more time to run my business instead of trying to communicate with Chinese suppliers! Huge help, I definitely recommend using them! Sourcing and importing products from China is a complicated task so I’m very grateful to have professionals doing it for me. Thank you so much for all your help!”

“EASY IMEX DO A BRILLIANT JOB AND TRULY EARN EVERY CENT OF THEIR FEES”
“When we first started on our “china experiment” as we call it we knew right away it would be naive to think we could do it all ourselves. We found Easy Imex online and quickly related to the no nonsense, factual approach they offer. Adam and Tom were quick to respond to our needs and guided us through the minefield sourcing and negotiating from the other side of the world can be. When we visited Shanghai we were met at the airport – chauffeured and taken care of wonderfully for our entire trip. We learnt and continue to learn so much from Adam and his team. Our account manager is fantastic and we would never have been able to achieve what we have thus far without her help. We think it’s imperative to have an agent like Easy Imex on your side – the language and cultural barriers alone demand an on the ground Chinese speaking agent not to mention the logistics of it all. Easy Imex do a brilliant job and truly earn every cent of their fees.”

“TRYING TO BUY FROM CHINA ON YOUR OWN IS DIFFICULT AND RISKY
“Like most people I was skeptical and concerned about handing over hard earned money. So I went to China to check out the quality of the goods and to meet the team at Easy Imex. It was a great experience and I was immediately put at ease. Trying to buy from China on your own is difficult and risky. Knowing the contract is one Chinese company doing business with another Chinese company, safeguards you and your goods, should there be a problem. I wouldn’t have bought anything from China if I hadn’t come across Easy Imex so I would now be paying double prices for the same goods here in the UK.”
Nick Young, Paisley Mobility Products, UK
http://www.paisleymobilitycentre.co.uk
While sourcing products from China sounds easy enough yet there’s a mind boggling array of problems which confront new importers…
It’s difficult to assess the quality of suppliers if you’re not on the ground in China. And it’s not uncommon to get stung with shoddy products or poor quality packaging. Outright frauds are very common – where phoney suppliers, with nothing real to sell – scam you out of your money.
Not only this, communication breakdowns are common because of language and cultural barriers. As China expert James McGregor said “The expectation in chinese business dealings is to be cheated”.
It’s because of the genuine difficulties that Easy Imex grew rapidly from just one staff member and zero customers in 2005 to 945 members and 13 staff members today. We’re now registered in the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, USA and China.
What we are offering the winning bidder of this auction is a twelve month GOLD MEMBERSHIP to our export company EASY IMEX in order for you to be able to successfully import goods from China with no hassle needed! Forget wholesalers, start importing your own goods direct and take the full chunk!
How Does Our Service Work?
It’s very simple.
You tell us the products you would like to import and your account manager will go out and find qualified suppliers for you. For example you tell us you would like 100 dog beds, in colour blue made from “X” material.
Easy Imex will do all the hard work finding qualified suppliers and then send you a landed price quote. This landed price quote is the entire cost to get the products made in China and then shipped from China to your door. It includes EVERYTHING you will pay: freight, insurance, customs duties, taxes, quarantine, permits, our 3-10% commission and any other associated costs.
This means you know exactly how much it will cost to import the products. You can test whether it’s worthwhile importing from China or not – without spending large amounts of money.
Now, here’s the best part of our service.
If you want to go ahead with the order, we will do EVERYTHING for you.
Easy Imex will arrange the purchasing of the goods, the quality control, and then everything involved getting goods delivered halfway across the world and to your door.
What Do You Get as an Easy Imex Member?
As a Gold member you will receive the following:
Door To Door Export – Import Service
Between our employees and myself we have over 20 years experience in exporting and importing from China. We can provide a range of services depending on the nature of your exports. We can export FCL (full container load) and LCL less than container load. To most major ports in the world using China Shipping or other major shipping lines. We arrange the entire process from exporting your goods from China to delivering to your door.
Product Sourcing & Factory Verification
How do you choose a capable manufacturer from the thousands often available? Perhaps you’re not sure who to trust or where to start? Maybe you’re just fed up dealing with middle men on sites like Alibaba & Global Sources? (or have been ripped off by the many fraudsters which proliferate here). Do you need a product custom made in China? Regardless of your sourcing request Easy Imex can help you!
Is this a quality factory? Did they produce goods of a decent standard? How reliable are they? What are their prices like? These are questions Easy Imex answers for you.
In China, you can find suppliers of almost everything imaginable. Yet finding the right supplier is not as easy as it seems.
Not only are there thousands of suppliers to choose from – you must background check these suppliers, then determine if they are trading companies, manufacturers – or even real at all.
And once the supplier is verified you must assess each factory’s pricing, lead times, product quality and prior track record.
Not only is this a large amount of work, but you’ll soon discover cultural and language barriers can leave you scratching your head – at times tearing your hair out!
It is one thing to source a product and get a price. It’s another to source a product from a reputable manufacturer, with genuine experience and all the relevant certifications and getting them to understand your exact requirements.
Easy Imex has the experience and local understanding to eliminate any guesswork from this process. Leaving you free to focus on running your business – where you get best use of your time – not international trade problems.
“IMPORTING FROM EASY IMEX HAS NOT ONLY HELPED ME SURVIVE IT’S ALSO OPENED MY EYES TO OTHER MARKETS”
“Easy Imex for the last two years of our trading have at all times delivered quality gym equipment at the right price and on schedule.
The very first delivery when I received the shipment I was relieved and extremely satisfied with the overall service. The constant contact and updates were very reassuring especially when you part with your money before you receive your purchase.
The service has remained the same for the last 8 transactions long may it continue! Over the last two years my business in the building trade has rapidly declined. Importing from Easy Imex has not only helped me to survive it’s also opened my eyes to other markets.”
Paul Woodham, Leeds, UK
The Only Type of Quote Which Matters – The Landed Quote
Once we have sourced your product, the next thing you need is a quote. Now, it’s one thing getting an FOB price (the cost of the goods in China) or ‘China price’ but what you really want to know, is how much is that product going to cost you by the time it lands at your doorstep.
With EASY IMEX, once we have sourced a product for you, just tell us what quantity you think you would like to order and we’ll then calculate a landed price for you, giving you a breakdown of all the shipping, handling & delivery costs and import taxes & duties. This means, you know exactly what your orders going to cost you before you’ve even placed the order!
When you are ready to place the order this couldn’t be any easier. You’ll get an invoice from EASY IMEX for your goods and we will handle everything from there. We’ll verify the manufacturer, arrange all the sales and purchasing contracts so you don’t have to. You don’t need to worry about ‘is it a real factory, or are they fraudsters’. At EASY IMEX we have completely removed that risk from dealing with China!
“WORKING WITH EASY IMEX HAS ALLOWED US TO FOCUS ON PROGRESSING OUR BUSINESS IN THE UK WITHOUT HAVING TO CONSTANTLY CHECK ON OUR MANUFACTURERS”
“When we travelled to Shanghai to meet with Easy Imex and conduct a quality control trip, Adam and Jin greeted us personally at the airport and took us to our hotel. During our stay Easy Imex was extremely accommodating, working round the clock to meet all of our requirements. By the end of the week we had secured contracts with our current manufacturers and production of samples was underway. Very impressive work on their part and we would certainly recommend Easy Imex to any start-up or established company.
Working with Easy Imex has allowed us to focus on progressing our business in the UK without having to constantly check on our manufacturers. They take care of all shipping requirements taking the hassle out of importing. It is like working with a company in the UK”

Purchasing, Negotiating & Sales Contracts
It’s imperative that you negotiate well, and purchase at the right price. And you must remember how important the sales contract is in future negotiations.
The purchasing and negotiating process can be long winded. However, if you know your stuff: material prices, manufacturing costs, tax back policies in China then the whole process can be done much more effectively.
Put in simple terms, if you get to speak with the right person at a factory and they recognise you know what you’re talking about then this process can happen much faster and you can achieve significantly better results.
At EASY IMEX our team of Account Managers have years of experience doing just this. Essentially, using EASY IMEX we become your office, your staff, your eyes and ears in China. This means, you can (if you want to) leave all these time consuming details to a team of experts leaving you more time to focus on your primary business.
Why You MUST Have a Sales Contract
When you place an order with a factory you simply must have a contract. If there’s a problem with your order, getting the factory to take responsibility is impossible without a contract.
EASY IMEX creates all the sales contracts on your behalf – ensuring those with real authority are signing off on them.
As a Chinese registered business, Chinese manufactures tend to abide to our contracts more than they would if it were with an overseas company, as our contracts are valid under Chinese law.
If a factory knows you have zero presence in China, you’ll be ignored should something go wrong.
Being on the ground in China – Chinese factories treat Easy Imex differently from the beginning. Why? Because they know we will turn up on their doorstep, waving our contract about if necessary. They know we will hold them accountable, something many importers fail to do.
A well written contract is an absolute necessity. It offers you strong bargaining position, and holds the factory accountable to the standards you have set. If you do not have a solid contract and problems occur – you can guarantee the factory are going to deflect blame.
“I STARTED OUT DOING SMALL MIXED CONTAINER LOADS AND NOW I’M ORDERING FULL CONTAINERS”
“Easy Imex is incredibly helpful. They’ve been a huge lifesaver for my business! I started out only doing small mixed container loads and now I’m ordering full containers.

Thank you so much for all your help!”

Quality Control – an Absolute MUST!
Buying from China isn’t like ordering from your local supplier. The quality of the goods isn’t guaranteed. However, if you take the right steps, you can save a fortune buying from China – without compromising on product quality. Most importers fail to take the necessary steps to protect themselves, which is what Easy Imex does for you.
Members of the Easy Imex team during a quality control inspection.
In real estate they say location, location, location. When importing from China we say: quality control, quality control, quality control.
The biggest mistake you can make when buying from China is not arranging appropriate quality control. For many reasons, Chinese manufactures can ‘screw up’ orders. The reasons might astound you:-
Maybe it’s the first time they actually made this product. Why not? They advertised it and you gave them an order!
Or, maybe they have someone else’s rejected stock lying around and they want to palm this off to you!
I’ve even seen factories make a product and they had no idea what it was used for! Sounds silly right? Well did you hear the story about the soap factory that made bottles of hand soap? None of the pump tops worked, but no one thought it mattered because you could just unscrew the top to get the soap out!
For all these reasons and so many more Quality Control is an absolutely essential part of the process if you’re importing from China.
For example it’s not uncommon for factories to purposely manipulate the product quality in order to save material costs, and improve their own margin. That is, they substitute cheaper materials, or put in less of a specific raw material to save THEM money – at YOUR expense.
This is why dealing with manufacturers in a developing country can cause no end of problem, and this is why quality control is a must.
At EASY IMEX we offer verification and quality control solutions to suit your needs. Our range of Quality Control inspectors in every province in China can be on any factory in China within 24 hours. This way, if there are any problems we can find out and sort them out before your goods are shipped!
For more information please read our quality control page on our website www.easyimex.com
“THE QUALITY WAS SUPERB. EVERY BIT OF FEEDBACK MENTIONED THE QUALITY OF THE GOODS”
“I was worried when the goods came the quality wouldn’t be up to scratch. Such worries were unfounded. The quality was superb. We started from scratch and we sold all of our products in 7 weeks with a mark up of around 50-60%. We have 100% feedback on Ebay. Every bit of feedback mentioned the quality of the goods and the value. Put simply without Easy Imex we would still be scratching our heads. With Easy Imex we now have a profitable business running that will only grow.”
John Huntington, Homes For Pets, UK
Shipping & Logistics – Save up to 50% if importing less than a container load
Maybe you need to order goods from multiple factories in China? Or perhaps you’d like to use our one-of-a-kind mixed container service? Regardless of whether you’re looking to import two pallet loads, or 200 containers, we’ll give you the most cost effective way to get goods from China, to your door.
Here are two Easy Imex 20 ft mixed containers. They contain 28 cubic metres of space and cost $160 AUD “all in” per cubic metre to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. £65 to Felixstowe in the UK. They depart once a month for smaller member’s orders. This allows you to import at the same cost as if you were importing a full container yourself and compete with larger players on freight prices. *“All in” includes everything to get an FOB Shanghai shipment to our warehouses in major capital cities. Customs clearance, port & handling, trucking from port, quarantine fees etc.
EASY IMEX works in conjunction with several major shipping lines, China Shipping, Mersk, NKY and more. As such, we always ensure that we are getting the best freight rates in the market, this means you don’t need to spend more of your time looking around for the best solution or hunting round for the best shipping deal out there, because we’ll give it to you!
Whether you’re importing a full container, or a part container load we manage the whole process from China to your door. You don’t need to worry about paperwork, and how customs tax, duty and quarantine works! We handle all parts of the customs clearance process. Not only that, but once your order has cleared customs, we’ll even arrange delivery to your door!
Why the Mixed Container Could Save You Up to 50%
What’s more, anyone looking to import part container loads, our unique mixed container service is quite simply THE cheapest way to import.
How?
We consolidate orders from our small members into one full container. When the container arrives we then unpack this container and distribute it from a central warehouse. This means you then get charged the same rate per cubic meter as someone who was importing a full container by themselves, allowing smaller business to compete on the same terms as much larger players!
Insurance For Free
Amazingly, many importers fail to acquire marine cargo insurance. Meaning if something happens to your goods during shipping – you are not protected.
All Easy Imex members are automatically covered by one large insurance policy we take out which covers millions and millions dollars of shipping. Insurance can often cost you up 1-2% of the value of your order, so the savings can be significant.
“THE QUALITY WAS SUPERB. EVERY BIT OF FEEDBACK MENTIONED THE QUALITY OF THE GOODS”
“We found lots of interesting ideas online but turning that into the reality of an order was where we needed Easy Imex’s help. We sourced our items from a range of manufacturers in China, it was fantastic to let Easy Imex put all of our orders from a number of suppliers together, check the packing and ship all together to Australia. Easy Imex dealt with all the importing requirements – making it hassle free!
As first time importers we had no idea of the requirements of negotiating orders, ordering samples and international shipping and customs. Easy Imex helped us to successfully place our first orders and navigate the difficulties of importing”.
Steve & Natalie Klein, Dilibag, Australia
www.dilibag.com.au
“IT’S HOW YOU HANDLE MISTAKES THAT INSTILLS CONFIDENCE”
“On one of our container shipments, we had some product damaged due to loading errors. When we received the product we unloaded it and took pictures and contacted Adam with the damaged results. He credited us for the damage and also made changes in the loading procedure so that this would not happen again. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s how you handle the mistakes with your customers that instills confidence”.
Jerry Tauzier, Lee Medical International Inc, USA
www.eleemedical.com
Easy Imex deals with companies importing just a few thousand per order, to companies like Aussie Farmers Direct, Australia’s fastest growing franchise which turns over $100m per year.

“ALL CHARGES WERE REALISTIC AND EVERY QUESTION WAS ANSWERED IN GREAT DETAIL”
“The most important benefit of using Easy Imex as opposed to the Brisbane sourcing company I first approached when seeking information and costs on importing from China, was that they were very open and honest with me. All charges were realistic and every question was answered in great detail. The Brisbane sourcing company I sough initially were extremely vague, the costings given to me were very hard to understand and the commission they were going to charge was going to make my new business venture almost unviable”.
Sharon Sprenger, Shoe Importer, Brisbane, Australia
Why Do We Charge For Memberships?
Many people in the past don’t understand why we charge an upfront fee in the form of a membership. Some people have actually been offended by this! Well, if you’re one of these people, allow me to explain…
First of all when you buy goods from a Chinese manufacture, it’s not like going down to the supermarket and picking something up off the shelf. EVERY order is unique, there are many variables that need to be addressed each and every order. Material prices and exchange rates change on a daily basis, final prices are subject to your order quantities.
Then, in order to work out a landed cost, which is what you really need to know in order if importing is a viable proposition for you, you need to know the weight, volume, duty rates on a product. All this, a swell as negotiating the best price can take hours, and all this is BEFORE an order can be placed. All of this work takes time, and if you want to get it right all this ground work has to be done for each and every order. There are no short cuts I’m afraid.
So, other than that, why else do we charge a membership fee? Well, when I came to China in 2004 I couldn’t even find the post office to send a postcard. Yet alone export from half a million factories across China. Like most westerners, I started doing business here in a rather naive manor, thinking, ‘I’m the buyer, if these factories want my business they can deal with me on my terms! I’ll be fair, firm and direct with them, and that’s how they need to deal with me to!
Well, I learnt fast. I had to learn a new set of rules, doing business in China. I’ve spent thousands of hours learning Chinese, getting shafted, and overcoming a whole range of problems in order to be able to offer the services that EASY IMEX can now offer you.
Finally, our fees are low, they are affordable and to be straight, by charging a membership fee means that we only have to work for people & business who are serious about importing, we don’t have to spend hours working for every tyre kicker that comes along wanting a prices on ‘this’ or ‘that’.
So there you have it, there’s an honest explanation of why we charge for memberships, and if you still don’t like it I’ve only got one thing to say to you…
…COME TO CHINA AND DO IT YOURSELF!

Adam Gilbourne, founder of Easy Imex during a factory inspection in Changzhou. Adam has sourced from over 2,000 factories and knows all the factory ‘tricks of the trade’.
Adam says “Buying from Chinese factories isn’t like ordering from your local supplier. The quality of the goods isn’t guaranteed. However, if you take the right steps, you can save a fortune buying from China – without compromising on product quality. Most importers fail to take the necessary steps to protect themselves, which is what Easy Imex does for you.”
