What does GEC do?
GEC (Global E-commerce Consultants) is a full-service eCommerce agency founded in 2016. Our 200+ experts manage Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Temu and Noon accounts end to end — product research and sourcing, listing SEO, PPC, account health and reporting — for 500+ accounts worldwide.
How much do I need to start an Amazon, eBay or Etsy business with GEC?
It depends on the model. Typical starting investment: Amazon Private Label $25K–$35K, Amazon Wholesale $25K–$35K, eBay store $5K, Etsy private label shop $7K, and Etsy digital products $3K. Wholesale and eBay usually reach first profit fastest (around months 1–2); private label takes longer (around month 9) but builds a brand you own. Timelines vary by product and market.
Do you offer Amazon account management and PPC management?
Yes. Our Amazon pods handle product hunting and validation, keyword-led listing SEO and A+ Content, launch and page-one ranking, FBA operations and inventory planning, Brand Registry and account health — plus Amazon PPC structuring, scaling and bid management with TACoS and ACOS control.
Which marketplaces do you manage?
Amazon, Walmart (including WFS onboarding and Walmart Connect ads), eBay, Etsy (digital products and print-on-demand), Shopify, TikTok Shop, Temu and Noon. Each marketplace has its own dedicated pod of specialists.
How does GEC use AI?
AI runs through every department: research and sourcing agents, self-updating P&L, PPC and inventory dashboards, automated reporting and alerts, and custom workflow automations. Our own tools — such as Profit Pulse AI for Amazon PPC and listing audits and Nexus for Etsy digital products — are tested on our accounts before they touch a client's.
Where is GEC based? Do you work with sellers outside Pakistan?
GEC has offices in Dallas, Texas (USA) and Multan, Pakistan, and works with sellers worldwide.

Should I start with Amazon private label or Amazon wholesale?
Choose wholesale if you want profit sooner, private label if you want a brand you own. Both have the same typical starting investment: $25K–$35K. Amazon wholesale sells proven brands, with faster cash flow and quick inventory turns, and usually reaches first profit around month 2. Private label takes longer — first profit around month 9 — but builds your own brand: a long-term, highly scalable asset. Timelines vary by product and market.
Does GEC manage eBay dropshipping stores?
Yes. GEC's eBay store management includes policy-compliant dropshipping operations, alongside store setup and scaling playbooks, high-CTR SEO titles and item specifics, and Promoted Listings strategy. GEC manages 100+ eBay accounts, and its eBay store model has a typical investment of $5K with first profit in month 1. GEC's eBay practice site, gecebay.com, covers its eBay models in detail, including Wholesale Dropship.
