STARTING AN EBAY STORE
BIB's Journey to Getting Paid

---

I'm nearing the end of my Get Laid journey, and my mind has been wandering towards my financial future.

I've accomplished almost everything I set out to do when I decided to master my sex life. I passed many of my goals months ago. It's time to get ready for the next phase.

Since I'm still temporarily in the player business, I'm not going to be launching a full-blown business until 2018. HOWEVER, I am unable to stop myself from doing something money-related. I've been searching for ideas since late 2016, and I've settled on a plan for the next 2 years.

The second phase will remain a secret for now, but I can tell you about the first phase.

I've been browsing /r/flipping for a while now, and I'm trying my hand it today. I took my girlfriend to some thrift shops, and we picked out a couple things that we suspect are undervalued. I've put the listings up on eBay as of tonight. I haven't made a single dollar from the internet in my entire life, so for now my goal is to make $1.00

I think I can do it.

Flipping is simple (in case you don't already know): you buy items at a low price through venues like thrift stores and garage sales, and sell them for a higher price online. There are many, many people who literally make an entire living doing this. I just want to make a few extra bucks.

If I'm lucky, both my items will sell by the end of next week. I'll jump for fucking joy if that happens. I met a guy who is borderline retarded who makes ~$3,000/month flipping on eBay and Amazon. I picked his brain and learned a few things – just enough to get myself started. Since I'm always trying to improve my style, I'm starting with selling clothes. I've been going around and hitting up thrift shops for popular brands, and quickly discovering I know absolutely nothing lol. But any action is progress, I know that from beating approach anxiety.

So this is the end of the beginning, and the beginning of the middle. I'm ready to do this. Nothing can stop me. I WILL make enough money to quit my job in the next 2 years, no matter what it takes.

Far out this is my exact plan when I start working on my financial career. I already have a tonne of ideas of stuff to buy cheap then sell on ebay. Great minds think alike.

Supplements are a good thing to get into - especially for me in australia. Things like phenibut and nootropics are really hard to find and sell for a LOT.

Hit up alibaba.com and aliexpress.com. They have a lot of VERY cheap stuff from china, which you can buy for a few cents then sell on ebay for $10 or so. I've already sold a few things on ebay in the past, I've made about $1000 selling old second-hand stuff from around my house.

This guy also has a few good videos on selling stuff on ebay, including buying from alibaba:

Good luck man. You're gonna kill it.

Since this site is all about evidence and honesty:



I also used to have another ebay account years ago that I no longer have. I sold a lot of my second-hand clothes, some video games, and a few other things. It's easy as fuck man, people buy anything on ebay.

I have my doubts about this because if it were that simple everybody would be doing it. All I ever managed to do was buy stuff to too much bucks and then nobody would want to buy it from me.

You're right, I give up!

Well it's been fun guys, I'm closing the log. Better luck next time

Go watch Chris' videos on youtube, look through the youtube comments. Plenty of "if it were that simple everybody would be doing this". And yet we have empirical evidence GLL's methods work for getting laid.

This shit is doable (maybe not easy, at least not at first when you have no idea what you're doing), but nobody does it because they'd rather say "If it were that simple..."

That's the spirit!

Wow, what a rollercoaster that was. Inspirational. Worthy of a book.

P.S. For realz though, best of luck. I member, having fun reselling clothes (for 3-4 short month I did that). Made no money... Cleaned the drawers of junk I did not wear mostly... But did have fun.

Awesome BIB! Just getting started as a side gig is great bc you will learn a lot. Just keep your expectations in check.

I tried "retail arbitrage" two years ago. I bought $300 worth of products to sell on Amazon. I sold 70% of what bought and $570 bucks. The other 30% of my stock sat there for months and I was paying for it to be stored in Amazon's warehouse. I ended up liquidated the other products bc they were not selling.

I did not check to see if the products were bestsellers or if there were too many sellers selling the exact same product. Which is what happened with a lot of my products. So the only way to differentiate was by price. So it was a race to the bottom. It screwed me out of more profits which sucked. It scared out of the ecommerce game. I want to get back in though now that I am finding some success online.

So make sure there are not too many sellers and your product is a best seller in that niche or category for buying it.

Just giving you my 2 cents from my experience. Hope this helps.

By the way, if you have time and money then ecommerce is where it's at. You will make my more money way quicker then blogging.

By the way man, it's great you testing the waters. Keep it up. I hope to learn from this log.

Thanks,

Ray

It's not hard at all, it just requires follow thru. As long as you got the drive to make it happen you can sell anything from old clothes and shoes to hand made items. (I sometimes buy cards on ebay, paint and sell them at 2 times the cost). I also sell 3d printed items as well. Easy money to be made if you use your head right.

Other places you can find items to sell (learned from how to start an ebay business for dummies, I highly recommend that book).
1) On ebay
2) Yard sales
3) Behind good will and thrift stores early morning, people just drop shit off
4) 99c stores
5) Craigslist free stuff section
6) Offer Up

Keep your customer service on point. Feedback 100% or as close as possible will make life easier. People will be sceptical about buying off low / new feedback at first.

The one thing that really makes it a bitch to start on ebay is that they place you under a probational period at first. They hold your money for some amount of time until you have a certain amount of feedback. You still have to pay for shipping which means you are coming out the wallet.

The best way to beat this out is to buy a bunch of shitty cheap items and get your feedback boosted to the minimum. Can do it in only a few days, but it might cost like 20$ to 50$. It will cost more in the long run to ship all the stuff out of pocket though and have to wait for 30
days to get paid back.

Hope this information can make your life a little easier.
