Invite me to your group. :mjpls:

White folks do not give info to each other like that.

Reddit's r/flipping is a cesspool. No more gems in there. The Green Room is like $100/year but they upload a lot of the shyt for free elsewhere, so I never subscribed.

A lot of other places I get info from as well. But can't really go into detail here...

I will. Oh and yes they do. Facebook groups and Youtube are free and they give TONS of info. They even research products for each other. Don't sleep on WP.

You can try but I hope you don't have one paypal linked between those different ebay accounts cause if one gets banned they may ban them all. Happened to me in my early days before I knew better

Unfortunately I've been down that road too a few times. Now I just keep 1 or 2 seasoned accounts on ice separate from my main ones just for the fuccery. And those accounts each have their own dedicated tablet with their own Verizon jet pack so they each have dedicated IP's. Even with their own devices and connections I won't even post at the house or anywhere near it actually. When it's time to post on those I'll go to a Starbucks or something in a different neighborhood to do it. After my first time getting an eBay ban I bought that Aspkin book and learned about the algorithms ebay uses so I always make sure to be extra, double and triple cautious. It took a decent amount of money and effort to set that shyt up but it has worked for me thus far. Knocks on wood*

Edit- and for the paypal issue I have 3 different paypal accounts. Only one of course is in my name. And I never cross them up, if I bring up paypal A on this device then I will never bring up paypal B on that same device. Ebay don't slip when it comes to them IP's and if you make a mistake once that's all it takes.

Great. I made a thread just for you called Dropshipping. I would love more info on that. My biggest concern has always been quality. I don't want low quality products.

Yes, low quality items can severely hurt your reputation on Ebay and Amazon. This is why use well known and trust worthy sources for the items I advertise. Also, a good thing to look at before advertising a particular item are the customer reviews. If it doesn't have more than 3 stars DO NOT advertise it. The last thing you want is to have a bad reputation or even worse have to refund your customer. Remember the first rule of Business is to not lose money! : )

What type of products do you sale? From ya experience what usually sales for the most?
well, one "store" I sell anything that could flip a profit. Clothing, electronics, whatever. the other one actually varies from time to time. I just move with the wave. For example, when all these new phones came out with wireless charging, i made a killing off selling the wireless charging pad but this was before the market got saturated. Still decent tho

Used Books + Amazon FBA = goldmine... i tried this method after reading everything on this blog FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) Mastery | Selling books with Fullfillment by Amazon (FBA) . Basically what you would do is scan books at your local thrift stores (Goodwill and Goodwill Outlet are the best ones for low cost books with high margins) and see which books will sell for profit (you use amazon seller app to scan the books and see what the books sell for on Amazon).

A lot of these books wont cost you more than a dollar (i paid about .30 cents a book) and a lot of these books will sell for 15+ (especially textbooks). Tried it out in late August and got about 250 profitable books from goodwill outlet (paid like $65 total) in the course of a couple days (only spent 1-2 hours there a day). Sent them in to Amazon and sold about 90 my first month for about $1,400 total ($800 profit after amazon fees, book cost and shipping costs). To date I made over $1,000 profit for like 8 hours of work max (scanning the books and packing them to ship out to amazon)..

I dont do it much anymore because im focused on other categories and christmas sourcing so i figured id drop that for yall to eat. Gonna go crazy with it myself once the new year hits.

cliffnotes:
1) find profitable books from a thrift store
2) ship said books to amazon fba
3) sit back and enjoy profits


Amazing. . I've never sold anything online but this seems easy enough

How do I sign up on amazon
I live in Canada so how would I send the books out

& whats the app called that I download to scan the price of books
