I started messing with eBay just to test the waters where I bought some electronics like mac books or watches and trading cards to see what would sell. I didn’t have a plan just curiosity and a few late nights spent looking into multiple listings.

I began to notice patterns. Certain categories like electronics and collectibles sold quicker and had better margins. I started tracking what sold best, improving my listing descriptions , and focusing more on things like PC laptops, video cards, and even men’s shoes.

Once I found what was working the income became steady. It now brings in around $3k a month…

That’s $3000 per month after fees and shipping 🤑

Says he spends 1-2 hours on the business most days, “sometimes more up to four if im sourcing or have lots to list.”

Finding inventory consistently at least 15% cheaper than current listings is definitely the trickiest part especially at scale…

Speed matters a lot. The best deals get sold up quickly. Being one of the first to spot undervalued listings makes a huge difference.

I usually source on ebay then resell back there or Amazon.
