The OFFICIAL eBay Buy & Flip thread - Part II - No Hustle Without Rustle - Make $$$

[Inavan]

Just got the message eBay is setting the groundwork to get rid of PayPal.

fkin lol at believing this will reduce seller fees. I also wouldn't be surprised if this change drove buyers away.

eBay is happy to announce plans to further improve the customer experience by intermediating payments on our Marketplace platform. In doing so, eBay will manage the payments flow, simplifying the end-to-end experience for both buyers and sellers. We have signed an agreement with Adyen, a leading global payments processor, to become our primary payments processing partner. PayPal, a long-time eBay partner, will be a payments option at checkout for eBay buyers.

You do not need to take any action at this time. The transition to full payments intermediation will be a multi-year journey.

Over the past three years, eBay has transformed its business to drive the best choice, most relevance and most powerful selling platform. Building out our payments capabilities is the next step in that strategy.

Payments intermediation will bring significant benefits for eBay sellers. You can expect a simplified pricing structure, more predictable access to funds, and most sellers can expect their costs of payments processing to be reduced. We’re also working on ways to provide sellers a central place to track and manage their business, which can soon include payments information.

By offering buyers more choice in how they pay and expanding payment options into more geographies, eBay believes sellers will be able to reach more buyers and improve conversion.

The transition to full payments intermediation will be a multi-year journey. eBay will begin intermediation on a small scale in North America starting in the second half of 2018, expanding in 2019 under the terms of the Operating Agreement with PayPal. In 2021, we expect to have transitioned a majority of Marketplace customers to the new payments experience.

Again, you do not need to take any action at this time. As eBay gets closer to the initial phase of its intermediation efforts, we will share more details about this process and next steps for sellers. In the meantime, please read the eBay Inc announcement for further information. For any immediate questions or to share feedback, please email paymentsinfo@ebay.com.

We’re looking forward to what’s next, and to getting there with you.

As always, thank you for selling on eBay.

did the thread die or did ebay? anybody find any other place where things sell without the risk of being scammed? ive noticed absolutly pathetic sales the past few months and have started pulling thousands worth of stuff off for safety reasons. still have a few thousand listed but only about $100 in sales the past month.

[DoragonKingu]

Amazon is pricing out the little guy so there is zero competition except Prime Warehouse. Ebay is still good just gotta wait a few months to get sales. Take awesome pictures with great descriptions you can sell big ticket items easily. Be sure to put “Final Sale No Returns What You See is What You Get“

Flipping will always be a way to make money.


Dead thread is dead. I have kept in touch with a few of the OG posters ITT, seems like we all used flipping to pay the bills while we built other businesses.

[BradInPhx]

sup dude, you still doing the cell phone thing?
my main biz is a niche shop on Etsy and I also have been flipping industrial goods on ebay lately. Haven't touched Amazon since 2015, cluster fuk of bottom chasers and people leaching/stealing ideas and listings.

to answer Mr. Fu Fu, ebay is doing great right now. Honestly Ebay has been the most consistent selling platform for the past 10-15 years.

I have not done any flipping for years, been too busy with other ventures.

I have also been running an Etsy shop for the past 4 years, over 10,000 orders with a $70 product

Oddly enough, I bought a storage unit at an auction out of convenience since its close to my office and I have a storage unit there already. Some real storage war

Are you me? I'm closing in on 8k orders on Etsy.
I buy a storage unit maybe 1-2 times per year because that's how long it takes for me to forgot how much it sucks digging through a bunch of junk and hauling all that chit out of there. Still selling stuff from the last one I bought during the summer.
I'm closing on my first real estate flip this week, I'm always trying to diversify and find new ways to make that $$$ and there is a ton of money being made flipping houses here in my area.

Want to get into this but so much work. I'm cool over at amazon. Props to you guys. If I had a steady wholesale account I'd do this.

[WhoWasFeel]

Is this even worth getting started on in 2019? I've heard the fees are ridiculous now

I have a question. Lets say I'm a seller on ebay and I'm selling about $5k a month. Would it be wise to register my business and if so would it be an LLC?

What are the pros of registering your business?

[niospecv]

From March-September I make 100-500 a month from flipping items. Currently searching for ways to create a stable passive income around 250 each month, also during winter.

Anyone buying things made in China in bulk to sell later when there are significant shortages? Too lazy to do the research myself, but seems like a good idea currently.
