Start with Googling the item you want to purchase using the format "[item] suppliers"
OME
Most accessories I've needed, I made myself.
That's the issue with trying to sell things to a maker community, they usually can just make it themselves.

I think it's no small task : there is no standard for anything at the moment. For instance, hard to find a nozzle that fits all existing models ... So unless you have room and funds to build a huge stock, that won't be easy. I'm not sure I'd recommend doing it either.
As for accessories, as you may have noticed there is no standard there as well : spools, beds, special systems for weird materials...
I think in the end you'd just be another layer of reseller/distributor and unless you're in a country that offers little of that already (I'd be surprised), there's no real point unless you bring something new.
Agreed. There're many online stores selling 3D printing accessaries, filament, printer, printing service, modelling already. You really need to have something that is new to everyone. If you don't, it's a tough market you' re getting yourself into. And you need to build yourself a business plan if you're coming into the market.
