I started a small business about 4 months ago. I sell on platforms such as Amazon, TikTok and my own website. Business is picking up nicely and averaging 25 to 30 sales a day. I mainly use Evri as courier service as it’s the cheapest option for self fulfilment on Amazon so I like to use it across all platforms for simplicity.

With this increased volume the owners of the convenience are starting to get a bit shitty with me and moaning when I come in. They even make rude comments. I wouldn’t mind so much but I do buy stuff from there! It’s starting to make me self conscious and have been driving out my way to other parcel shops. Anyone else experience this?

Been looking into ways to make sourcing on ebay a bit less time-consuming, especially when you're searching for specific models or parts. The amount of irrelevant listings that show up is ridiculous sometimes. Wrong model numbers, misleading titles, stuff listed as working when the condition says otherwise. You end up opening loads of listings just to find a handful actually worth considering. Curious how everyone else handles this. Are you just using saved searches ?

ive tried charity shops and facebook for electronics and clothes and i cant seem to find anything wil any resale value at all anyone got any good recommendations on how i can make my first sale please that isnt my own things

A deal bot I've been building flagged this today: a MacBook Air 15" M2 8GB/256GB at CeX for £515.
• eBay sold average: £800
• CeX buy price: £319
• Margin: about £285 (55% ROI)

The catch is that only 1 has sold on eBay in the last 30 days.

I'm still working out how much weight to give low-volume items. Would you buy this, or pass? And how many sold comps do you need before you trust a margin?

Vinted's "buyer protection fee" is now just the "Vinted fee" (UK), and Royal Mail went up again

Vinted's UK price list doesn't say "Buyer Protection fee" any more. It's the "Vinted fee" now, a "mandatory platform fee" for running the site. New terms kicked in today too

Rate looks the same as far as I can tell, still 3-8% plus 30p-80p. Refunds for lost / damaged / not as described are still a thing, they've just been moved into their own refund policy

Also in case anyone missed it, Royal Mail put parcel prices up on Monday. Tracked 48 small parcel is £3.75 online now (was £3.65), Tracked 24 is £4.80 (was £4.65). 2nd class with no tracking is £4.40 online, so you're paying 65p more for less. Not sure why anyone still uses it.

Curious if anyone's changing how they post or price because of it?

I've only been doing this for about a week or so, but I've started buying complete gaming PCs and breaking them down to sell the parts separately.

The idea came from seeing someone in one of these subreddits claiming they were making around £50k profit a month doing it, which obviously sounded pretty crazy, but it made me curious enough to test it.

The first PC I bought actually worked out well, so I can definitely see how there could be money in it if you buy at the right price.

The part I'm still unsure about is the risk. You're tying up a decent amount of money in one machine, and if a GPU, CPU or motherboard turns out to have an issue, it could wipe out most of the profit pretty quickly.

For something like this where I might only make around £100/£200 after breaking it down, I'd probably pass.

Would you bother at that sort of margin, or would you want a much bigger buffer before buying?

Near Falkirk, Scotland specifically?

I'm moving house and needing to shift my reselling stash, if anyone is interested please comment below or DM.

I have all sorts, mostly women's fashion. But also children's and some beauty.

I'll sell at amazing prices to shift it in job lots/ bulk.

Everything good condition because I only sell what I would buy myself. 👍

Evening or should I say good morning, I’m currently trying to look for items to resell (with £250 to play around with) for the coming months but I’m not too sure what I should be selling to maximise my profits. Does anyone have any tips for what I should be selling?

Happy Monday all! I've been building a Chrome extension for flipping music gear on Facebook Marketplace UK and I'd like a few more people to try it before I open it up.

It sits on top of the listing page when you're browsing Marketplace. You click it, it pulls eBay sold data (proper API, not scraping), checks live asks, and gives you a resale score and a max offer number with the maths behind it. That works as-is, no setup, no AI.

On top of that, if you want it to run an AI pass over the listing photos to look for damage the seller hasn't mentioned, it can. That's the bit that saves you from "oh no, there's a crack in photo 4 I totally didn't see." Optional, but I use it.

UK only, music gear only. Guitars, pedals, synths, drums, whatever. Not a general reseller tool, so if that's what you need this isn't the one.

Free right now, no paywall, no email to unlock features. I'm in private testing because I want a small group to actually use it on real listings before it goes public.

If you flip UK gear and want a tester invite, DM me or signup through the website above. If you try it and the numbers are wrong or it misses something, please tell me. That's what I need right now more than anything else.

Where do people find stuff to buy for cheap and sell at crazy prices later I never seem to find cheap items or items that are worth selling for a profit
