Learn the products, typical faults, shipping needs and price ranges before expanding.

Record every real cost

A profitable sale can look unprofitable or vice versa if postage, repairs and selling costs are missing from your records.

Use completed outcomes to improve

Compare what you expected to sell for with what actually happened, including holding time.

Avoid buying simply because something is cheap

Demand, condition, product identity and exit price matter more than the discount from an arbitrary asking price.

Scale monitoring only after the process works

More searches create more noise unless your verification and profit rules are already clear.
