Buying on amazon and reselling it on amazon?

[shogun1]

is it against policy to buy something and resell it for profit?

Say a guy obviously is trying to price to do big volume and you think you can buy and list for higher,can you do this? or will they boot you for it

No reason why you can't - you just purchase, wait for delivery and flip. It has and can be done.

There is no law or policy against it. I've seen a lot of people do it on a number of sites, though it strikes me the profit would be thin for all the legwork.

I sold a baseball card for a penny with 4.99 shipping and amazons cut was a 1.49.= 30%?

Amazon fees work out between 15-17.5% depending on category.

Would be very hard to do successfully. Plus you got to be careful about just buying the lowest price you see on amazon, you will probably end up with foofoo

It's hard to do. I was selling electronics from the net to my amazon buyers and I priced the items high enough to clear 40 bucks after AMZ cut. What happens especially with hot items is the hole internet wipes out on that item so you have no inventory.

I do it all the time with amazon. They always have those games sales where u get like $20 amazon credit.
