Hi @eBay — longtime US seller here. I filed a case appeal on May 9 with photo evidence of buyer return alteration. My FVF was refunded but the defect wasn’t addressed, and my Seller Standards eval is May 20. Can someone route me to a US support escalation? Happy to DM details.

🧵 The 5 fees resellers forget to calculate: (1) Platform fee (eBay: ~13.25%) (2) Payment processing ($0.30/transaction) (3) Shipping label cost (not the rate — the actual label) (4) Packaging materials (boxes, tape, paper) (5) Return shipping if buyer claims INAD. Ignore thes...

The Spring 2026 sneaker meta just unlocked: → Slim runners (New Balance 990, Samba vibes) → Vans Authentics in off-white → Chunky platform flip-flops (yes, really)

Hot take: TikTok is now the best free marketing channel for resellers.

TikTok just hit 3.70% engagement rate — up 49% year-over-year.

Real talk: I once bought 12 pairs of a shoe I thought would be 🔥 — sat on them for 8 months. Lost $400. The lesson? Market research before buying, not after. Now I check comp sales BEFORE I buy.

The FlipProfit app is almost ready. What it does: instant profit math, StockX/GOAT price lookup, and fee calculations for every platform. One app for every flip decision. Coming soon to App Store 📱

I track which shoes sell within 7 days vs which ones sit for 60+. The fast movers? I double my inventory. The slow ones? I drop price 10% at 30 days, another 10% at 60. Velocity beats margin every time.

🧵 How I went from $0 to $3K/month reselling shoes — the real story: Started in 2019, buying clearance Nikes at Ross for $20. Listed on eBay. Got 0 sales for 3 weeks. Almost quit. Then one pair sold for $65. That feeling? Never went away. Here's what changed everything 👇 (1/5)

Hot take: The resellers who complain about platform fees are the same ones underpricing. Fees are baked in. If your margin can't absorb 13%, your pricing is the problem, not eBay.

Free tool alert 🚨 Stop guessing your profit on every flip. resellerai.ai/flipprofit — plug in your buy price, sell price, platform, shipping. Spits out real profit in 2 seconds. No login. No BS. Just math.

The best resellers I know all do one thing differently: they track COGS on every item. Cost of Goods Sold. If you don't know your cost basis, you can't price right. Spreadsheet or die.

PSA: eBay fees just changed again. Here's the current math: 13.25% final value fee on most categories + $0.30/transaction. On a $50 sale that's ~$7 gone before you even touch it. Price accordingly.

Most resellers don't know their actual profit margin. They guess. Then wonder why the bank account doesn't match the sales numbers. Use math. All of it. Fees, shipping, packaging, sourcing time. Real profit > vanity revenue.

One year ago I was spending 4 hours/night on eBay. Now my AI agents do 90% of it. I spend that time with my son instead. That's the real ROI.

Thread: The 5 automations every eBay seller should set up today 🧵 (1) Scheduled listings to end Sunday 7-9 PM (2) Auto-accept Best Offers within 15% (3) Promoted Listings at 2-3% (4) Markdown Manager for 30+ day items (5) Cross-list to Poshmark within 48 hours

I'm building my AI agents in public. Every week I share what they've learned, what broke, and what's making money. It's like Survivor but for robots. 🤖

Reseller math: Buy at $10, sell at $45, minus $7 fees, minus $8 shipping = $20 profit. Do that 150 times a month = $3,000. That's the formula. Scale is the game.

The compound effect of daily listing: 5 new listings/day × 30 days = 150 new items/month. In 12 months that's 1,800 listings working for you 24/7. Start today.
