Just landed the biggest buys ever from a recent auction: a massive 37-pallet lot of industrial electrical components straight out of Kolding Denmark. I won the lot for $6,250 USD (ex VAT) — a serious investment, but with a serious upside. To give this a proper home (and room to scale!), I’ve just rented a 35 m² heated garage to handle the overflow and to streamline sorting, storing, and listing everything. The next step is to pick up the items in 2 vans - start processing, batching, and listing the inventory on eBay. The crazy part? Based on conservative estimates, I expect to multiply this investment by at least 12–15x over the next year as things get listed and sold. That means potentially turning this buy into over $75,000–$93,000 sales value, piece by piece! Maybe even more, I'll know more when I get my hands on the stock itself. This is exactly the type of deal that makes running KLJ Trading so exciting — constant problem-solving, scaling challenges, and, of course, big opportunities. Looking forward to sharing more behind-the-scenes updates as the process unfolds and diving deeper into workflow automation to handle the volume. Exciting times ahead!

It’s been a tough journey dealing with the MC011 permanent suspension, but after patience, proper appeals, and staying persistent, I finally got both of my eBay stores reinstated. This experience taught me a lot about compliance, account health, and how important it is to stay aligned with eBay policies as a long-term business owner. Now I’m back, stronger and more focused than ever. 💪 👉 Have you ever dealt with an account suspension before? 👉 What’s been your toughest challenge as an eBay seller?

Comet Browser has become a game-changer for eBay sellers who want to streamline daily listing maintenance—what I call “eBay gardening”. Instead of doing repetitive adjustments manually, Comet now lets me automate these essential tasks with just a single prompt after opening an item page. Automated eBay “Gardening” with Comet Browser - Open any eBay item page and prompt Comet to “garden” the listing—no coding or complex workflows needed. - Comet will automatically crop photos, fill out missing item specifics, adjust prices based on real-time market data, and update descriptions or conditions if improvements are detected. - This workflow saves hours every week, keeps listings competitive, and reduces the risk of overlooked errors or outdated info. - The tool acts like a virtual assistant: review, approve, and deploy changes in, making high-volume selling much more manageable. - Only issue that it takes some time, Comet works well and dedicated but needs time to do its magic. For anyone running a large eBay inventory, automation like this isn’t just a time-saver—it’s how you keep your digital storefront in peak shape every day. Has anyone else automated their “gardening” routine or tried letting Comet handle the heavy lifting? Here's the prompt I am using at the moment - having 10 tabs open in order for Comet to work for me while I do other eBay stuff: "Garden this eBay listing: - Crop and optimize all item photos for eBay standards - Fill out missing or incomplete item specifics - Adjust the price to match current market value for comparable sold items - Review and update the description and condition so everything is accurate and buyer-friendlyBUT: Do not press ‘Revise’ or finalize the listing. Wait for my review and approval before saving or submitting any changes.” Or even better - in JSON format { "task": "Garden this listing", "steps": [ "Crop and optimize all item photos for eBay standards", "Fill out missing or incomplete item specifics",

After two weeks of talks ( back and forth) with eBay support team, I finally got my store back. Selling continues!

Hey resellers 👋 I wanted to share one of my favorite sourcing hacks—using Microsoft Copilot to analyze auction lots and uncover hidden gems with serious flip potential. Before I used my own custom script in Perplexity, but using Copilot is actually faster and more convenient. 🧠 What Copilot Does for Me: I feed it a link to an auction by opening a tab in the browser (like this university surplus auction), and it helps me: - 🔍 Identify each item (brand, model, specs) - 💰 Estimate resale value on eBay or niche platforms - 📉 Recommend a safe max bid to hit 3× ROI after fees - 📦 Break down shipping costs (parcel vs. pallet) - 📊 Calculate net profit after eBay fees, managed payments, and logistics - ⚠️ Flag risky or slow-moving lots so I avoid dead inventory 🧪 Example: Lot 102 – VWR Autoclave - Resale: DKK 6,000–8,000 - Max bid: DKK 1,200 - Net profit after shipping & fees: ~DKK 4,000 - Flip potential: ⭐ High - Why? Strong demand in lab resale, compact enough for pallet shipping, fast turnover 📋 I Also Get: - A summary table of all lots with resale value, bid cap, and flip rating - Risk grades (returns, faults, shipping complexity) - Days-to-sell estimates based on eBay history - Suggestions for bundling or local pickup strategies 💡 Why It Works: Copilot doesn’t just scrape data—it understands resale logic. It knows how to factor in fees, shipping, and market demand. I use it to build my bidding strategy before the auction closes, and it’s saved me from overpaying more than once.
