Newbie here. Question as far as laptops/tablets?
 

Ok I got a connect in the city with a tablet/laptop referbrish shop. He sells them to me real cheap, been making good money off craiglist with it but try to start selling them on amazon as referbrish. Question is I usually bu a whole lot of these from him each week. My question is should I sell these with or without fulfillment program (which is confusing to me even though prime seems helpful if someone could explain that)?

You can try the fulfillment program, but I have to let you know they really screen ISBN numbers and the products have to match perfectly. If not they will hold you products at the wearhouse and they will never go "live" Also, This is a high risk item and Amazon will watch everything you do. This has been my experience with FBA. I never sold labtops/tablets, but I have sold electronics.

If you can find exact matches on all product specs it should be safe. However many refurbs, used computers will have mix match parts. You need your customers to know about that so you would need to list that in listing. Amazon will see that and will close the listing. Maybe right away, maybe further down the road. Its gonna suck though because it will tie your inventory up at a warehouse that you 1) paid for UPS outbound shipping, 2) paid UPS return shipping 3) whatever shipping you use when you decide to sell it again. There is a reason why most comp sellers are not doing prime.

Yea been doing this a while on craigslist, I did my research and looks like a no win situation when it comes to amazon unless I ship it myself. My friend put me on this site. He making major money but sell non brand tablets and brag about it. He does what he does but I'm not going that route, I already bought the both books going to do more research before reading them though. Been talking to a few import/export warehouses in and out of state as far as selling the products, so trying to get everything covered before I try this.

Crazy idea, Why not try Ebay? just saying...

Yea, I'm going to do this on Ebay too, but now I think about it, since I get this stuff for cheap. I probably just for starters go with 5 laptops (not using the same wifi of course) instead going through with the ip addresses. I know it sounds weird but I'm sure everybody got a different way of doing this.

This does not make munch sense. You want to list on eBay using different WiFi's

Is that on the same account? Whos WiFi?

Most of use really use the same way of doing it will small tweaks.

No, okay I have 5 laptops including my personal one. My personal will be my real info, name, ss# etc which I use my phone for wifi use my ebay account. The other 4 will be stealth accounts which, 2 of them I can use my mom & dad 2 different locations for wifi. The other 2 wifi locations probably a McDonald, library, or truck stop. I travel an hour to work so I'm sure it will be easy to find address ro each of these stealth accounts.

Try to avoid public IP to the best of your ability since those IPs likely have been used before
