Build a repeatable product-sourcing process for eBay reselling instead of chasing random deals.

Choose categories with a clear verification process

You should know how to identify the product, recognise common faults and estimate shipping or restoration costs.

Define the acceptable purchase condition

Decide whether you buy only tested items, whether cosmetic restoration is acceptable and what defects are automatic rejects.

Create search rules around your budget

Set item and postage ceilings that leave room for your intended resale outcome.

Review candidates consistently

Use the same identity, condition, completeness, market and cost checks each time.

Measure realised results

Track sale price, costs, holding time and actual ROI so future sourcing can become more evidence-based.
