People pay more on eBay than Amazon every single day. I collect the difference.

I know it sounds backwards. But most eBay buyers never check Amazon.

They are already on eBay. They find something that looks right, the delivery seems fast, and they buy. They are not opening five tabs to compare. They just want the thing.

That behaviour is the entire business.

Here is the process. Go to Amazon best sellers. Copy any title. Paste into eBay. Find sellers using the same photos but charging more. Open one of those profiles. Find listings with a sold count above the price. Hit sell similar. Drag the Amazon photos in. Let eBay write the description. Price five cents lower.

New listings get pushed to the top of search by eBay first. Five cents lower wins the sale almost every time. First sale leads to more because eBay rewards listings that convert.

Most orders make $10 to $15. At 10,000 listings with 10 to 20 orders a day that is $1k to $3k every month.

24 hour sale every day. Offers to watchers. Ads that only charge when you sell.

The gap between what people pay and what it costs is yours to keep. Every single day.

My eBay Dropshipping Routine Is Boring, but It Makes Daily Sales

I almost did not post this because the number still sounds made up to me. But I literally tracked it on my phone so I know it is real. I run an Amazon to eBay dropshipping store. The idea is simple.

I find products already selling on Amazon, list them on eBay at around double the price, and when someone buys I just order it from Amazon and ship it directly to the buyer. No inventory sitting in my house. No upfront spend. No ads. The thing that makes it work is volume not luck. I have around 10,000 active listings right now. Each one gets a visibility boost when it goes live and if it sells it keeps climbing in search. Most of my sales make $10 to $15 profit each. That sounds small until you are doing 10 to 20 of those a day every single day. That is where the $1,000 to $3,000 per month range comes from and it becomes more predictable the bigger your listing count gets.

One of the things I do to get faster early sales is sniping. I paste an Amazon bestseller title into eBay search and find someone already selling the same item at a higher price using the same images. I open their profile, filter by sold listings, and find items with multiple recent sales. Then I list the exact same product undercutting them by five cents. That tiny price difference combined with the new listing boost is usually enough to get a sale within the first day or two.

Early sales matter because they tell the eBay algorithm your listing is worth showing to more people. On top of that I bulk list everyday items at 100 percent markup. Not everything sells but you are not trying to bat a thousand. You are playing a numbers game and letting volume do the work. The promotions side matters too. I run a 4 percent promoted listing rate on everything which means I only pay when something sells. I keep a 24 hour markdown sale running every single day because urgency converts browsers into buyers. I also send offer notifications to anyone who has watched an item.

I once had over 3,000 watchers I did not know about and when I sent offers I made 10 sales within an hour. My daily routine is genuinely boring. Answer messages, process orders, list a few new items. That is it. Because the heavy lifting was done earlier when I built up the listing count the business now runs with very little maintenance. It is not flashy but it is consistent and that is what makes the numbers real

Why do so many people still not seem to care about climate change?

I'm really curious about this. Climate change is something we hear about constantly, but it feels like a lot of people still don’t really care unless it affects them directly. Even when there are heat waves, floods, wildfires, rising prices, or weird weather patterns, many people seem to treat it like a distant problem or something

or maybe there are more urgent matters like food and bills for most people?

Started this at 20. Now 22. Here is what two years actually looks like.

Year one was slow. I made mistakes. Listed the wrong things. Gave up for a few weeks. Started again.

Year two was different. The listing count was higher. The process was faster. The income was consistent.

eBay dropshipping. List products at a higher price. Someone buys. Order and ship straight to them. Keep the margin. No stock. No upfront cost.

Finding products. Go to Amazon best sellers. Copy any title. Paste into eBay. Find sellers using the same photos but charging more. Open their page. Find listings with a sold count above the price. Hit sell similar. Drag photos in. eBay AI writes the description. Price five cents lower.

New listings get a boost from eBay at the start. Five cents lower wins the sale. Sale builds ranking. More sales follow.

Most orders make $10 to $15. At 10,000 listings that is $1k to $3k every month.

24 hour sale every day. Offers to watchers. Ads that only charge when you sell.

Year one: inconsistent. Year two: $2,600 last month.

The difference was just not quitting.

What’s one food “rule” you followed for years that turned out to be wrong?

I'm used to treating the date on food packaging like it means the food instantly becomes unsafe the next day.

But from what I've seen online, “best before” and “use by” are not always the same thing. A lot of foods might still be okay to eat after the best-before date, even if the taste, texture, or freshness is not perfect anymore.

For example, things like canned food, dry pasta, rice, cereal, sauces, snacks, and some frozen foods can often last longer than the printed date if they were stored properly and the packaging is still sealed or not damaged.

Obviously, I’m not saying people should ignore food safety. If something smells bad, looks weird, has mold, the packaging is swollen, or it’s a high-risk food past its use-by date, I’d rather not risk it. I'm not saying its entirely wrong but there are better explanation

What’s a small moment that made you realize you’re getting older?

For me, it’s been realizing how often I’m in hospitals now.

Not always for some huge emergency, but appointments, checkups, visiting family, waiting for results, going with someone else, or dealing with things that used to feel like “older people problems.”

The strange part is how normal it starts to feel. You learn which entrance is less crowded. You know where the vending machines are. You recognize the sound of the waiting room TVs. You start keeping phone chargers, water, and paperwork with you because you’ve learned the hard way.

When I was younger, hospitals felt like rare places you only saw in movies or during a serious crisis. Now they feel like a regular part of life, and that realization kind of hit me.

Nothing complicated. Just two tools that cut my daily work time down to almost nothing.

I do eBay dropshipping. List products at a higher price. Someone buys. Order and ship to them. Keep the margin.

Tool one is eBay's built in AI description writer. I find a product, hit sell similar on a listing that is already selling, drag the Amazon photos in, click the AI button and the description writes itself. I set the price five pence lower than the competitor. Done in three minutes.

Tool two is ChatGPT. Every buyer message I get I paste into ChatGPT and ask it to write a friendly reply. It is better than what I would write myself and takes thirty seconds.

Happy buyers mean no disputes. No disputes mean clean account metrics. Clean metrics mean eBay shows my listings to more people. More people means more sales.

Most orders make £8 to £12. At 10,000 listings that is £800 to £2k every month.

24 hour sale daily. Offers to watchers weekly. Ads that only charge when something sells.

Two tools. Thirty minutes a day. £2,400 last month.

EDIT 1: I made a doc with more info on the business and put it in my discord, you can access it here
