    The problem

    Sound familiar?

    A $40 sale feels like $40. After the marketplace fee, the postage, the packaging, what you paid and the hours it took, it is often far less, and unsold stock hides the rest.

    • You track sales but not profit per item.
    • You aren't sure which platform actually pays you most per item after fees.
    • Free shipping, returns and slow stock are quietly eating the margin.
    • You haven't counted your sourcing time or set money aside for tax.

    A 79-page guide and an Excel ledger for people who resell on eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Whatnot, Etsy or similar. It shows the costs resellers miss, how marketplace fees are built, how to price from the profit you want, buying rules, stock ageing, your real hourly rate and the tax basics, with a workbook that does the arithmetic.
