Flipping For Profit on eBay
Before we get to the best things to sell on eBay, did you know there are countless “resellers” who make a living (even full-time income) from reselling (flipping) pre-owned, used items?
While I’m not a full-time seller (I am a stay-at-home mom), I have been able to make a steady, reliable income from reselling (mostly) clothes.
Since starting, I’ve made over $100,000 net profit from reselling!!
