I’m doing some eBay arbitrage for about $200 a month profit but I’m just starting.
I call it arbitrage as I buy at consumer prices from a store online and sell on eBay for a profit.
I profit even when paying listing fees, shipping and PayPal fees.
- Mumps 6y agohow does this work in practice? do people not realize they are paying above the store price?
- tudelo 6y agoI mean, people also don't go checking around every sale for items. But I would be curious to know what lengths OP goes to to identify items.
- quickthrower2 6y agoIdentifying is the problem. It’s usually when I think “wtf why is this more expensive on eBay” when buying something for myself. Then I check the number sold and think “oh someone is making some money here” I don’t do anything special and realise I may have got lucky with this one. I found another item like this in theory but I listed on this week and it hasn’t sold. So we will see.
- quickthrower2 6y agoI think because the item is shipped from overseas not everyone wants to do that and wait the few extra days. Even though it’s ordered from a standard online shop from the brand.
