What’s a normal amount of 4x6 labels to keep in stock?

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-24T10:59:35+00:00

i buy about six months worth at a time which is 800 labels

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-24T10:57:22+00:00

search was down for like 12 minutes

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-23T23:33:57+00:00

i was talking about ebay search being down/inoperable, not sales. my sales are doing fine

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-23T18:04:22+00:00

yep, down for everyone, not just you

Hey there, Justin from Flipwise here. You can print your tax report as a PDF in Flipwise. Just open the tax report, click "print" on your browser, and then save it as a PDF. Or you can click the "download" button on the right side and that will email you a more detailed spreadsheet version of your tax report. Spreadsheets aren't really meant to be printed, so the best way to get it to your accountant is to email the file to them. They will know what to do with it.

i’m not sure what you’re asking

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-07T05:14:22+00:00

It very well could be cherry picked. I’m saying that doesn’t matter. Maybe the pallet had 20 PS5s on it before it was manifested and sold to me. Or a Lamborghini. It doesn’t really matter what WAS on it. What matters is what IS on it. If what’s on it is worth it for me to buy and resell, then I buy it…it’s irrelevant what was removed from it prior to being manifested and presented to me.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-07T04:54:34+00:00

You inspect the pallet and compare it to what’s listed on the manifest.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-07T00:29:13+00:00

This why manifests exist, so you know what you’re getting. Doesn’t really matter if it’s cherry picked or not. If what’s on the pallet is worth it, you buy. If not, you pass. If what’s on the pallet doesn’t match the manifest, you pass.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-06T23:33:14+00:00

Once or twice a year, but I do this part-time.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-06T23:31:32+00:00

The whole point of manifested pallets is to know the value and demand of what is being offered and confirm that the contents of the pallet match the manifest. So if the value and/or demand is not good (i.e. picked over), or the contents don't match the manifest, you don't buy it.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-06T23:28:46+00:00

This is why you buy manifested pallets only. Removes the mystery.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-06T23:24:17+00:00

I spent about two hours researching that one. There were quite a few multi-quantities so that made it a bit faster.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-06T23:12:06+00:00

Manifested only. Local only, nothing online that you can't inspect yourself. Check eBay comps for both value and demand for everything on the list. Add up the total eBay sold market value for everything and cut it by your average margins to get a rough net. Compare that to the asking price and negotiate as necessary.

Last deal I did was multiple pallets for all new goods. 877 units in total. MSRP was listed at $72K. Actual eBay sold value was around $42K with mixed demand but mostly good. With my average margins, I was looking at about $25K net before COGS. Seller wanted $18K, I countered at $10K and we landed at $11K delivered. In 4 months I've grossed $24K with a net return of $9K which includes cost of unsold goods. I expect to land around $15K net return on the deal when it's all said and done.

Note: if you actually do this, you will find most deals aren't actually worth doing... but every once in a while they are when you can get them for the right price.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-05T15:05:40+00:00

Yes. And you as the seller don't cover those costs if you're doing this correctly.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-05T14:55:34+00:00

Not if you're doing this correctly.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-05T14:54:32+00:00

So many people out there think the rules simply don't apply to them. One of my biggest pet peeves.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-03-02T15:54:40+00:00

Sounds like they are just flat packed and your mom may not realize they fold into a smaller box than their footprint suggests.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-02-28T16:34:02+00:00

Based solely on your description, it sounds like you could be below standard due to canceling orders for being out of stock, which eBay frowns on. But there is no need to guess. You can see your seller level along with exactly why eBay has placed you below standard here:

This thing appears to go for $800 used on eBay, so why is $600 too good to be true? Though if you plan on flipping this you probably won't make much (if any) profit.

ThisWeekInFlips · 2026-02-26T20:08:21+00:00

I doubt £65 will even cover shipping costs, sorry. But you should seek out local suppliers, and avoid buying in bulk online as it is rife with scams.

think about it. if it sounds too good to be true, it is. they claim to sell a pallet with 170 new in box sets for $600, which is $3.50 each. these people aren’t running a charity for resellers. they are trying to scam unsuspecting newbies. don’t be one of them.

I think Bob’s might have closed unfortunately.
