Default What type of ebay seller are you? Used reseller, importer, etc

Just curious what the demographics of our sellers are here. What do you guys specialize in? Import wholesale and sell direct to consumer? Thrift and resell used items? Custom stuff you guys make yourself?

Personally Im in the first category, but see a ton of people on YouTube doing the whole thrift thing and (seemingly) doing quite well. Could never do that personally

These days sellers are doing none of the above,they are playing retail arbitrage,copying pictures of merchandise from AMZN,COSTCO,WMT,Wayfair and list them on Ebay.

I mean there are more of these arbitragers now on Ebay, they are not selling antiques or collectibles,they are selling mostly consumer staples,brand new ones like what you see on WMT and AMZN.
There are a few threads on this forum,you either have a short memory or you are busy posting comments

Collectable too! Wishy Washy at times.
But 1 buy due to a good deal, or 3+ to add to their collection.
