Anyone can buy wholesale from a manufacturer if they have a sales tax certificate. You can get that from your state and local government. Annual fees are involved.
But it is hard to find a sales rep that will even talk to you if you tell them you're selling on ebay. Once you do get an account, your first order usually has to be about $1000 depending on the company you're dealing with, then there's a minimum per order after that.

No mystery really, its out there just most of us don't want to make the investment. I still maintain some wholesale accounts, but they are for the very upper end home decor fabrics, many of which go for over $100 per yard at wholesale.
