    Day 208 Total sales: $737.96 eBay earnings: $504.99 Buy cost (COG): $82.27 Net profit: $422.72 ROI: 514% Items sold: Electrical equipment, printer ink, printer parts, automotive transmission parts, marine electronics, & a toilet repair component. Another strong day. $737 in sales & over $422 in net profit from just 7 completed sales. What stands out to me is the variety. Electrical, automotive, marine, printing, plumbing, you don't necessarily need to specialize in one category to build a profitable eBay business. You need to get good at finding the right products at the right price. That's still the biggest lesson I've learned through this journey. A $100 sale isn't nearly as exciting if you paid $90 for it. But when you can consistently find inventory for a fraction of its potential selling price, the numbers start working in your favor. Today's $82.27 in COG turned into $422.72 in profit. That's the game. Buy right. List consistently. Be patient. Keep improving. 208 days down. On to Day 209. 📦💪

    @clarkknowscards DM me and I will tell you how I got out of eBay jail from their error which plagued me for almost 6 months. Should work the same for you.

    @ConceptualJames Competition for clicks is getting very very comptetitive and the pressure to create consistent media output. Increase in fearmongering and ragebaiting, AI content is driving overall quality down to the lowest common denominator. This happened to Ebay in the 2000's.

    Just bought 180 tested video games across generations for about $2.50-$3 / game. The previous batch was $2/game. Sounds crazy when you can see on eBay some of these only selling for $6-8. But I also see something that made me question this. 52 minutes south of me a video game store exists that sells these games for at least $20+ The same games you’d comp on eBay for much less. Why? Because it’s hard to trust random sellers and in this niche I’ve see people want to buy from people they like, people they trust and people they vibe with. Therefore I’m buying a disc refurbishment machine and offering a “warranty” to my future customers where if a disc stops working, we’ll fix it to the best of our ability. I’m also packaging games with the consoles we test and increasing the prices and will have a branded website off of marketplace platforms. Does this take reselling to the next level? Yes. Will it be difficult for me? No. It’ll actually be quite fun and we’ll act a little bit like game informer for retro games. If it doesn’t workout? Cool. If it does? That’s a fun way to resell.

    @RDKLInc Yeah… they don’t want to give you the working ones anymore, either. It’s starting to get so bad, even the repairable ones are sorted out first, too. Even on eBay, most “defective, for parts, not working”, are listed after repair attempts only, and they try to scam not disclosing

    GameStop is about to post a near-record profit. Almost none of it came from selling video games. The company guided to $290 to $310 million in net income last quarter, up from $169 million a year ago. Roughly $238 million of that is a paper gain on its eBay stake, not its stores. Actual sales fell to about $790 million from $972 million, down 19%. A video-game retailer now earns more from a stock bet than from its business. Ryan Cohen even made a $56 billion run at buying eBay outright, and eBay called it neither credible nor attractive. The register is shrinking while the balance sheet plays hedge fund. The stock tells the real story. Shares slid from $22 to $18 over the past 3 months, and a near-record profit has not stopped the bleed. A trading gain does not repeat on a schedule. The store decline does. $GME

    @JDAlexOfficial @eBay They are bloated and it’s why many individuals online rally against using eBay, Walmart, Amazon, and big corporations that have pulled the wool over our eyes and kind of forced lots of local businesses to shut down

    @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

    @Pacho9_3 It looks like eBay just took down another seller of the 30th pre orders. Seems only seasoned sellers like footballpete and a few others are actually safe. I think I’ll avoid posting 30th eBay links regardless moving forward until September 16th

    @laralogan Goodwill was established to train unemployed or undereducated men to repair items for resale. Now they don't accept broken items that need repair. And they have learned that they can make more money reselling stuff on eBay than in stores.

    Beware of this eBay seller. Purchased a J Baez lot when he was hot and I had to cancel and refund him because it sold on Mercari probably 15 minutes prior. He purchased it literally as I was taking down the eBay listing. I messaged him and apologized and refunded him immediately. Well… he left negative feedback and said he never got the cards.
