Hi knokinonabit
I think this forum is about sharing ideas, expertise, and solving problems together.
If you want to know how to run a business in this field, you are probably best going to a single solution supplier. For example:

My own favourite The magic Touch,
another major player is Xpress
There are many other. The above 3, and doubtless other too are in garment decoration for the long game, not to take your money and leave you stranded.
The old motto, buy cheap, buy twice is never more true, and the randomness of ebay is not a solid place to start a business, ALTERNATIVELY, for those of us who do make garment decoration our business, we love the crapsters who sell so called 'instant turnkey busneses's' on ebay for stupid amounts, because the kit is rubbish, the product inconsistant, and the technical backup not existant. - it keeps the field limited !
If you want to get into the business, go and spend a day at each of the 3 listed above, then, INVEST your money.
This forum is a great place to ask questions, but not great for advice.......
You don't need to watch The Apprentice to know that the important thing about any business is it's points of difference.......
What will make you and your offering different?
If your answer is price, - I give you 6 months, or less, depending on your annuity lump sum.
If you do have a special idea, and can target and communicate it to YOUR target market; - then I wish you the very best of luck!

PS - When you speak to The Magic Touch, mention Phil Logobear !
