Frequently asked questions
Aim for at least 30β50% on the purchase cost to cover the effort and the items that never sell. High-volume sellers often work on lower percentages because the capital turns over quickly.
Treat unsold stock as a cost. Either reduce the purchase cost field, or run the calculation with a lower average sale price to reflect the dead stock.
The price at which the sale just covers the item cost, fees and shipping. Never buy below it, and ideally buy with a wide margin above it.
