  The Net Profit question often appears in my DMs and comments when I post about buying and selling. Is there easy, passive income profit when buying products from auctions to resale? Nope. But here's how I made $557,127 profit from doing a ton of research about a product line I knew nothing about. Let's start with why I wanted to try this experiment. I’m a tech guy who builds tech companies. As you know from my previous posts, I always try to impress my awesome wife. But when I had 56,347 iPhones and iPads in my warehouse, the women in my life were not impressed. Then, I brought home a box of designer handbags that I came across, and the women in my life lost their minds. There was something here. I could feel it. I had just sold TechRestore and wanted to build a company with zero employees, using social commerce and building it just with my phone. I love starting over at 0. So, I began researching to be sure these handbags could be a good business. First, you swim upstream. I bought handbags from all the major players on social commerce sites like Poshmark and eBay. I wanted to see how their packaging looked, how their sales funnel functioned, and how they handled returns. All of these: not very good. I know how to do these 3 things very well. Just with computer parts, not handbags. How different could it be? Opportunity? Yes. I then needed suppliers. I have a great database of suppliers that find me very credible. Why? Because I am consistent, I pay on time and never complain about small problems. It took me 11 months to strike gold. After 149 calls and 348 emails (I track this stuff), one supplier referred me to another (probably just to shut me up), and I found my source. During these 11 months, I had been “warming up” my accounts on social commerce platforms. Learning how Poshmark worked, meeting the managers of the eBay handbag channel. Anything I could do to build credibility. About a year into it, I knew how to build followers on these marketplaces, how the shipping worked, how customer service functioned, and how to talk to primarily female customers buying handbags. I started selling. Like a rocket ship, the combination of a good supplier, great customer service, and business practices took off, and I started to get attention. So much attention that the CEO of Poshmark invited me to visit their headquarters. Uh oh! I am pretty sure they thought I was a woman. With my name and the fact that I wanted to make my female customers feel comfortable, I only posted pictures of me with my wife – I’m sure they were surprised when a dude with a beard showed up at their office. After a laugh, I got a tour and met with the CEO for a Q&A session. Super amazing. This post is getting long, so let’s fast forward: I sold over 7000 handbags on Poshmark and other social commerce marketplaces—$ 3.7M in revenue and $557,127 in profit. 83% of the handbags I sold, I bought from auctions. I did a bunch of consulting for Poshmark, and they loved me so much that I got access to their IPO. I still don’t know anything about fashion. However, I know how to find the delta between buying and selling and how to implement systems that work. I had so much fun and learned so much that I wrote a book about it. Poshmark Unlocked has sold thousands of copies, and I learned how to start a publishing business. Can anyone do this? Absolutely. It takes time, a willingness to spend hours doing research, experimenting and access to some capital. If you want to learn more about unconventional methods of building businesses and wealth, give me a follow @ShannonJean - I promise that it will be interesting and fun!

  @Yawaru @Be_like_legend Hey thanks that’s really useful to know! My main problem with eBay is executive dysfunction and AuHD. Sometime I just can’t complete tasks because I’m confused about what order they go in. I’ve sent stuff out late because I’ve lost it in my messy house I can’t keep organised.

  @WestCoast_Goodz Man, “summer slow down,” “q1 slow down,” “dying platform.” I’ve had to deal with people telling me their eBay sales are dying every season, every month, every year, since I started but my sales have kept going up. It’s definitely the platform, not their fault.

  Plan B Expat (@planbexpat) reported 14 minutes ago

  The “move abroad and keep your salary zero tax” math always works in the post. It rarely works in real life. The tax saving is real. Your income is the problem, and nobody selling the dream says so. If you’re an employee, your employer is the first wall. Most won’t keep you on payroll where they have no entity. Many enforce a hard 183 day rule. So you get pulled back, let go, or rarely, moved to a contractor. That last one is the only version where the zero even starts to work. “I’ll just find remote work.” Good luck. Everyone wants the same arbitrage, so the seats paying North American rates are brutally competed, and they increasingly want you in a North American timezone anyway. This works for people who own portable income. Software first. Services second. Ecommerce a distant third, since marketplaces such as Etsy, even EBay or sometimes Amazon freeze you the moment they see a foreign IP. One filter for who to trust. The dream sellers on TikTok, Youtube or those convincing you can sell digital products living abroad, earn from the course, not the life. The honest ones can show real income from what they built abroad. If someone only profits from telling you how easy it is, that’s the tell. That’s the only reason the tax line works for some. They obtained legal residency, severed ties with their home country, owned a portable business that worked from anywhere. Residency before you need it. The boring steps are the whole game.

  @BenCham63173153 @FeistSportsCard Correct, anyone paying more in fees is Below Standard or promoting their listing too much. As usual eBay is not the problem, its the ignorance of its users.

  @cassymcollins @Eras_Resale I really hope they can come through for me and help fix this! I even checked eBay as a last resort and they are $150+ 😭 scalpers are insane! It’s been about 35 minutes since they escalated my email, but I don’t want to send another in case it puts me at the bottom of the queue!

  @AmazonHelp For the last few weeks I have nothing but trouble with your website. It does not come up normally. I have to try 5 or six times for it to come up so it is readable. I wanted to order that new hose but could not open the site. I bought it on EBAY instead.

  He spent $400 on 12 broken phones and turned them into a machine that prints money while he sleeps. not a metaphor. a literal shelf of cracked Pixel 2s earning him cash 24/7. here is the whole build. he buys dead Android phones in bulk off eBay. cracked screens, trashed batteries, dead speakers. the more broken, the cheaper. $350 for twelve. $50 more for chargers and a hub. that is the entire startup cost. then he loads each one with apps that pay you to do nothing. apps that pay you to swipe up when an ad plays on the lock screen. apps that pay you just to sit there collecting data in the background. apps that pay you to run games passively. every phone gets its own Google account. its own phone number for verification, rented for a dollar. then they just run. on a shelf. all day, every day. 36 cents a day per phone. twelve phones. $129 a month from a pile of e-waste he plugged into a wall. the farm pays for itself in four months. everything after that is pure profit, and he just keeps stacking phones. people are out here trading 8 hours a day for a paycheck while one guy built a system that earns whether he is awake or not. that is the whole shift happening right now. the people winning are not working harder. they are wiring up systems that run without them. that is exactly the kind of build people are tearing apart inside @NeuroClubAi. not watching demos. learning to actually wire the machine and let it run. stop trading your hours for money. start building the thing that earns while you sleep.

  @Cryptic_Dollar @_bismack_ I just posted the rules that are clearly being broken. Your envelope isn't flexible. I started selling singles on ebay 20 years before they introduced ESE. What does that have to do with your envelopes clearly being too rigid for the service? Say whatever you want about not having problems yet. They will come.

  @BourbonInvestm2 It's not even AI. It's simple IF/ELSE and OR/OR logic. It's used in all programming languages. He did a video a while back about an eBay "search secret" known only to the eBay employees. When searching for something, put a minus sign in front of words you want to filter out.

  @BrandonNie43375 @DeItaone Terrible deal for Ebay shareholders, The GME stock they receive would be worth a couple of dollars/share and an even worse for GME shareholders. Even then the combined entity would have so much debt at unfavorable rates, a turnaround would take very long time.

  @TheodorTheta @JonFairbourne They don’t affect short interest if they use options to hedge. When viewing the price action since May 4 of eBay and GME, you will notice GME (acquirer) is pushed down while EBay is still retaining their gains. Arbitrage desks frequently target acquisitions

  $GME has no reason to move up aggressively until the whole eBay saga has come to an end - tons of sell pressure as you can see after every scam pump and dump ah. I don’t know what else to say other than $18.. for starters. Do I know when a deal could happen directly with the shareholders of eBay? No. That’s why I said if you want to not think about timing go leaps and DCA shares as we go down.

  @eBay_UK your site only allows age verification if you have a credit card, no other method offered. I dont have a credit card - its a crazy rip off - but have had eBay account for 22 years. Fix this please it makes no sense. Also - your AskeBay account is suspended, fix that too!

  I've always been a huge Ace Combat fan. Namco seemed to nail the feel of jet combat in a way they didn't accomplish in their racers. It's interesting to see Sega's After Burner, a Yu Suzuki project, take a backseat to Ace Combat. What's even more interesting is that these are entirely Japanese projects. In North America, Novalogic and Microprose and Ubisoft all tried; the only ones that really seem to persist are DCS and Microsoft Flight Sim, but the fact that a Japanese company has maintained a successful fighter jet franchise for three decades in the West is crazy to me. Nellis is down the street from me and I've always wondered how they keep their machines up to date with flight sim software. A video of the Boeing F-15EX simulator seemed graphically inferior to something you could get for $1k off eBay, but probably cost the US military millions. Naturally, to get your hardware and software approved for the US military requires far more security clearance. Which begs the question: can any military really have the latest and greatest flight sim hardware and software? Of course actual flight experience will be the real determining factor for success, but what incentives go into flight sim software like Lockheed's P3D? Microsoft Flight Sim? What about in Japan for the JASDF? Surely they all have their eyes on that military contract money, so I would assume they would want to keep consumer flight sim software somewhere on the same level of the latest release granted access within the military, which would be, what, 2-3 years antequated by now? And how closely are these American companies watching what Bandai Namco does with its flight sim software? How many cues can they really take from it? If the gameplay is more arcade-y, certainly they're inspired by the visuals, which if put into a military simulator would be a huge boost to training. I'm totally speculating, though. Maybe the military gets updated flight sim software and hardware every week, but I doubt it. If we have to jump through months of red tape at gaming companies just to update our NAS system, I can't imagine what Boeing, Lockheed, and Microsoft have to go through. And I bet Japan, with its cozier relationship between government and corporations, has a faster pipeline from flight sim company to military. It's hard to imagine the USAF is willing to let Japan make a better looking (and better playing) flight sim, but is that what's happening? Anyone know this world?

  @_bismack_ No point in eBay / PSA doing it, just causing more risks on high end orders. Or at least raise the threshold to 500-1000$ to slow the traffic down

  @slabfactory_ty @Voodoo_TCG People who don’t realize eBay doesn’t show the best offer accepted is the issue, not using eBay as comps. If people aren’t looking up sales on 130 Point or Card Ladder to get the accurate sale, they are they problem.
