How one man is revolutionizing the online retail space, making a staggering $60,000 per month by flipping items from eBay to Amazon FBA.
Meet Josiah, an astute entrepreneur who has tapped into the potential of eBay and Amazon’s Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) program, creating a profitable business model that allows him to generate an impressive $60,000 in monthly revenues.
But what exactly is flipping? And how does Josiah manage to achieve such substantial success in a competitive market?
Flipping refers to the practice of purchasing items from one marketplace, typically at a lower price, and then reselling them at a higher price in another marketplace, often with added value or enhanced product display. In this case, Josiah buys products from eBay at a discounted rate and resells them on Amazon through the FBA program.
Josiah’s journey began when he stumbled upon a few YouTube videos showcasing people’s success stories in flipping items. Intrigued by the potential, he decided to try his luck. He started by researching consumer trends, popular brands, and products with high market demand on eBay.
After thorough market analysis, Josiah discovered that there were numerous items being sold under their market value due to sellers’ lack of knowledge or limited reach. Seeing an opportunity, he started purchasing these undervalued products and redirecting them to the more popular Amazon platform.
One of the key reasons for Josiah’s success is his utilization of the FBA program offered by Amazon. FBA allows sellers to store their inventory in Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Amazon then takes care of the picking, packing, and shipping of products, as well as providing customer service. This not only saves Josiah time and effort but also helps to establish trust among potential buyers due to Amazon’s excellent reputation.
To maximize profits, Josiah focuses on items that have a high price discrepancy on eBay and Amazon. He ensures the products have a solid margin for profit and calculates all associated costs, such as shipping, fees, and additional expenses. By effectively managing his costs, Josiah can sell products at a higher price on Amazon than what he initially paid on eBay, resulting in a tidy profit.
However, flipping items from eBay to Amazon FBA isn’t as simple as it sounds. It requires extensive market research, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep understanding of buyer preferences and trends. Josiah consistently keeps himself updated with market dynamics, competitive pricing, and subjective changes in consumer demand to ensure he stays ahead of the curve.
Furthermore, Josiah doesn’t just rely on his own expertise; he also employs various tools and software to automate and streamline his business operations. These tools help him identify profitable items, track market trends, monitor competitor pricing, and optimize sales strategies. By leveraging technology, Josiah is able to make more informed decisions, save time, and ultimately increase his revenue stream.
Josiah’s success story serves as an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to make their mark in the e-commerce industry. By tapping into the potential of online marketplaces, employing effective strategies, and staying up-to-date with market dynamics, anyone can potentially achieve remarkable success.
Flipping items from eBay to Amazon FBA may not be a guaranteed pathway to success, as it requires dedication, hard work, and the ability to adapt to ever-changing market conditions. However, with the right skills, knowledge, and relentless pursuit of excellence, entrepreneurs like Josiah prove that substantial profits are possible in this thriving e-commerce sector.
So, if you’re seeking a lucrative business opportunity and are willing to put in the effort, take a page out of Josiah’s book and dive into the world of flipping items. With the right mindset and an unwavering determination, you too can turn a simple eBay purchase into a profitable Amazon sales venture, potentially bringing in an impressive $60,000 per month.

Hey guys . What automation tools do you guys use?
Post office workers are not tracked for how many packages per hour. My neighbor is a mailman.
WoW That Nick Leeds guy was a SUPER DUPER Negative Nancy in the chat! Sounds like he is just super lazy and not willing to put in the time and effort. TONS of 1's in the chat with the "i pay it off every month" I wonder how many are being honest.
This was good stuff! I’m the brand new guy to Amazon so it is nice to learn.
How do you use a prep centre?
How do you get around the labelling from ebay and kmart and target?
Hi Steve, I am trying to sign up for your free 12-video eBay to Amazon course, but I am not getting an email from you.

Great Episode Steve and Josiah. I appreciated the conversation around dealing with IP complaints and weighing the benefits/cons of credit usage in the business.
I love your content! Hey – do you do one on one coaching? I’ll send you an email. Thanks!!
Great interview!!….Thanks.
I personally despise drop shippers. Just everything about doing business that way is wrong In my eyes. You are constantly lieing to your customers because you never see the items. Just a scummy way to make money.. but hey that's just my opinion. Every time a drop shipper buys from my ebay store with their little email about how to do this and how to do that. Just annoying. And I don't put a packing list in any of my orders. But you betcha when a drop shipper tells me not to put a packing list in that's the first thing I AM gonna do.
