22 Week Recap Days 1-154 Total Sales: $66,679.41 Buy Cost (COG): $11,490.24 eBay Earnings: $38,637.55 Net Profit: $27,147.31 ROI: 236% 720+ items sold. 154 consecutive days documented. Looking back over the last 154 days, I'm reminded that this business isn't built on one great flip. It's built on showing up every day. Every sourcing trip. Every listing. Every order packed. Every customer message answered. Every lesson learned. There have been huge wins. There have been slow days. There have been refunds, cancellations, buying mistakes, & defective returns. That's all part of reselling. The goal has never been perfection. The goal has been continuous improvement. Buy smarter. List consistently. Treat customers well. Repeat. Most of the profit didn't come from one massive sale. It came from hundreds of individual sales across dozens of different categories. Nothing glamorous. Just buying quality inventory at the right price, listing it consistently, and trusting the process. Every listing is another opportunity. Every sourcing trip is another chance to find inventory someone else overlooked. Those small decisions compound over time. Keep sourcing good inventory. Keep buying at the right price. Keep listing every day. The singles keep adding up. Most people overestimate what one day can do and underestimate what 154 days of consistency can do. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

Free Shipping: The Silent Sales Booster I started wondering about buyer paid shipping vs free shipping especially when the total cost to the buyer ends up exactly the same. One listing with a higher price and free shipping another with a lower price plus a separate shipping fee. It pulled me down a rabbit hole of reports and studies and I wanted to share what I found because it's pretty eye opening for anyone flipping on eBay. Free shipping often wins on conversions and sales speed even when the buyer pays the same amount overall. Amazon Prime set the bar high. Recent data puts US Prime members around 180 to 200 million so roughly 60 to 70 percent of adults have free fast shipping as their normal. Shoppers expect it, 66% want free on every order, 80% expect it above a threshold and up to 84% have bought specifically because shipping was waived. Free just feels like a win emotionally and people jump. Charging shipping as a separate line creates extra FRICTION. Buyers lock onto the lower item price and treat the shipping fee like an annoying add on. They downplay it or get irritated even when the math is identical. That extra step at checkout can make them hesitate or bounce. Tran's 2020 and 2024 analyses of eBay Germany data confirm buyers shrug off small separate shipping fees but demand jumps sharply when it's free. Marketplace insights seal it. Free shipping listings get 15 to 25 percent more views and 10 to 18 percent better conversion rates even at matching totals. eBay favors them in search visibility too which helps everything compound. Free cuts the hassle. No surprise fees at checkout. Feels cleaner and more valuable. For my flips I've gone 100% to free shipping after some experimenting over the last 4 months. Data points to faster sales less push back though category and margins decide the final call. Anyone else gone down this rabbit hole? You charging separate or going free? #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling #SideHustle #Arbitrage

I initially started with charging for shipping. I now exclusively only do free shipping. I base my prices of eBay sold listings for the same item so I look at it as the price is the price, whether I build it in price or add a separate line for shipping I'm getting the same amount. One creates less friction psychologically. I put together a little piece on the psychology of charging vs free. I will tag you. Please reach out any time with any questions.

@jearl02s Do you have them pay shipping or offer free shipping? Trying to see what works best.

First eBay sale was definitely a win! 🙌🏽

@chadthereseller I buy individual returns so I have the most random things lol Whatever I can get for the right buy cost 🙏

@EverydayResell I agree with this method also. I always source a variety of products for this reason. You have to have all seasons covered in my opinion

Day 157 Total sales: $671.92 Buy cost (COG): $95.24 eBay earnings: $492.81 Net profit: $397.57 ROI: 417% 10 item day. One thing that's become obvious after documenting these daily results is that diversity is a strength. Today's sales included automotive parts, golf accessories, batteries, diagnostic tools, appliance parts, & outdoor equipment. 10 completely different products. 10 different buyers. If one category slows down, another usually picks up. That's one reason I rarely chase a single niche. I'd rather build an inventory that solves problems across dozens of categories than depend on one product line. Over time, that creates more consistent sales and reduces risk. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

@WestCoast_Goodz Facts!!

Some people talk about grinding. Others actually live it. Be the kind of person that makes folks stop and say “Damn… this MFer never quits.” No matter how tough the week gets, how many packages you’re shipping, or how slow the sales feel some days. You keep showing up. You list when you’re tired. You hunt inventory when others are sleeping. You tweak listings, answer customers, and push forward even when no one’s watching. Never quit. The results always catch up to the ones who refuse to stop 🛑

@WestCoast_Goodz Agree with this! 🎯

Monday eBay Tip of the Day 💡 One thing a lot of sellers don’t realize is how important it is to stay active in eBay’s algorithm. eBay loves consistent activity and rewards stores that list regularly by giving them better visibility and push. Try to list at least one new item every day if you can. You’d be surprised how much even that single daily listing can boost your store’s performance. Not everyone can list daily. I get it. So here’s a solid workaround: edit your existing listings. Even small changes (a quick tweak to the title, adding a detail in the description, or updating a photo) signal to eBay that you’re active. That little activity bump can help eBay give your store some extra love. That’s today’s tip! Drop your own algorithm hacks in the comments. What do you do to keep eBay pushing your listings? I’d love to hear your strategies! 👇

@EverydayResell that daily rhythm is key

@Keli_fxck Thank you! It’s been a fun journey. Just stumbled into this about 5 or so months ago & I am taking it one day at a time.

@EverydayResell the grind really pays off, respect that

@WestCoast_Goodz Agreed 💯

@EverydayResell I’ve always had the belief that real recognize real.

I’ve been talking a lot lately about rebuilding the reselling community and getting back to the real value. Sharing knowledge, wins, and lessons. With that said, I hate when people drop “follow these accounts” lists just to farm followers. I will be shouting out accounts that actually deliver real value and help resellers level up. Starting with one I stumbled on not long ago: @resellerrowe This guy consistently drops solid eBay reselling content. What he’s buying, where he’s sourcing, and his actual numbers. What I love most is that he also shares his “why” which is his family and those boating adventures. Real life, real motivation. If you’re trying to learn the reselling game or just see what serious resellers are doing, he’s a must-follow.

@Keli_fxck Will do!

@EverydayResell always happy to help. keep crushing it.

Day 156 Total sales: $834.96 Buy cost (COG): $115.33 eBay earnings: $515.64 Net profit: $400.31 ROI: 347% 7 item day. One thing this journey has reinforced is that reselling is a game of averages. Not every item is a winner. Some arrive defective. Some get returned. Some become a complete loss. That's built into the business. The goal isn't to win on every transaction. The goal is to buy well enough that the winners more than make up for the occasional losses. Today's sales came from automotive parts, electronics, industrial equipment, & specialty tools. A wide mix of inventory, all sourced with the same mindset: buy quality items at prices that leave room for profit. Over time, that edge compounds. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

@Keli_fxck Thank you for the support 🙏

@EverydayResell love that grind 📈

@avivafashion11 Thank you!! Much appreciated 🙏

Adding @EverydayResell !!

One of the best parts of X is realizing some of the smartest people I follow have absolutely NOTHING to do with luxury handbags. 😌 They sell rugs, snacks, power tools, mattresses, cars, and just about everything in between…and they probably could care less about the luxury bags I’m selling! BUT…. They’re quietly building INCREDIBLE small businesses on their own terms, and I’ve learned as much from them as anyone in my own industry. Massive respect for anyone creating something from nothing…and if you’re looking for someone to follow, please consider: @plasticboss, @jearl02s, @resellerrowe, @ShamsETubriz, @JDPCollective, @LazDeals, @MikeMcCabe1970, @MikeCalcara, @mattressguy_ , @BraydenFlack, @kip_roland, @donnyyoung, @Just_a_Fred, @HeroThriftStore @EdResellsDFW Friends, comment who YOU would recommend following in the comments!!

Day 155 Total sales: $337.97 Buy cost (COG): $17.34 eBay earnings: $175.84 Net profit: $158.50 ROI: 914% 4 item day. Today's numbers are a good reminder that profit isn't always about having a huge sales day. Sometimes it's about buying inventory so well that even a handful of sales produces an excellent return. 4 different buyers. 4 different products. Less than $18 in total buy cost. That's why I spend so much time sourcing. The purchase price is one of the few things I can control. I can't control when an item sells. I can't control when refunds happen. But I can control what I pay for inventory. Over time, that discipline makes a huge difference. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic
