💵Reselling Guide

🏠 Welcome

By pairing Buyers Portal (BP) with Private Buyers Club (PBC) you acquire brand‑new products at effectively zero cost once your refund clears. This guide teaches you how to flip those items on eBay and Facebook Marketplace for predictable, repeatable profit.

🔄 Core Workflow

  1. Order on BP

  2. Post your Amazon review (if required)

  3. Receive your refund ‑ usually via PayPal

  4. List the product for sale (eBay for national reach / FBMP for local cash)

  5. Ship or hand‑off to the buyer

  6. Track your profit & repeat

Speed vs. Safety Waiting for the refund is safest. Listing before the refund lands can accelerate cash‑flow, but the real risk is that you’ll earn less if the BP seller ghosts you—not that you’ll lose money entirely. Decide your comfort level.

💵 Profit Formula

Net Profit = Sale Price
             − Platform Fees (≈ 13 % + $0.30 on eBay)
             − Shipping Cost
             − Sales Tax paid to Amazon  ← your true COGS

Because your item cost is refunded, sales tax is usually the only cost of goods sold (COGS) you cannot recover.

Even at a 50 % discount to Amazon’s price every item remains solidly profitable because your cost basis is limited to sales tax.

🏷️ Pricing & Listing Strategy

1 — Know Your Market

  • On eBay: Filter ▸ “Sold Items” to see real, recent prices. Price 10‑50 % below the lowest active listing for a quick flip or match average sold price if you can wait.

  • On Facebook Marketplace: search locally and undercut Amazon MSRP enough to be a no‑brainer deal.

2 — Write High‑Converting Listings (without returns)

  • Title: Front‑load brand + model + keywords (“NEW”, “Sealed”, size/spec).

  • Photos: Combine two or three clear in‑hand shots (item, box, accessories) with one clean Amazon stock image for context.

  • Description: Bullet‑out key specs, state “Brand‑new, never used.”, and note No returns accepted to avoid eBay headaches.

3 — Communication

Respond to buyer messages within 12 hours to keep your seller metrics pristine and cement trust.

Platform

Best Practice

eBay

Create labels with PirateShip (cheapest USPS/UPS). Upload tracking immediately.

FB Marketplace

Meet at a busy public spot or offer porch pick‑up. Accept cash, Venmo, or Cash App.

📈 Scaling Beyond 5 Items/Month

PBC standard limits one Amazon account to ≈ 5 BP orders per month. Power sellers open multiple buyer accounts (spouse, sibling, friend) and sprinkle in legitimate 1–4⭐ purchases to stay under Amazon’s radar.

🔄 Handling Delayed Refunds or Unresponsive Sellers

  1. Contact the BP Seller via the order chat the moment a refund is late.

  2. Escalate to BP Support if the seller is unresponsive after 24‑48 h.

  3. Return through Amazon only if BP support instructs you to do so.

Keep screenshots of your posted Amazon review and chat history—they’re your proof.

🚀 Pro Tips for Faster Sales & Bigger Margins

  • Front‑load keywords in eBay titles: "Laser Engraver 5.5 W ‑ Wood, Acrylic, Leather ‑ NEW" ranks higher than vague titles.

  • Leverage “Sell Similar.” Click a top‑selling listing, choose Sell one like this, and inherit its SEO‑rich structure.

  • Photo batching: Shoot all new arrivals every Sunday afternoon; edit & list during the week to stay consistent.

  • Price‑drop rhythm: On eBay, lower price 5 % every 72 h until it sells; on FBMP hit Renew Listing daily.

  • Local upsell: When buyers pick up locally, have smaller BP items ready—offer a bundle discount for instant extra cash.

  • Feedback fuel: Ask satisfied eBay buyers to leave feedback; a 100 % rating justifies slightly higher prices over time.

🎯 Final Word

Stay disciplined: pick High‑potential BP items, list quickly after your PayPal refund lands, undercut MSRP smartly, and reinvest profits into more accounts and inventory. With consistency, the PBC/BP ecosystem can evolve from a side hustle into a four‑figure monthly income stream.

Happy flipping & see you at the top!
