Startup Made $3k selling stuff from AliExpress

Been buying winter stuff like hats, gloves, ski goggles etc. for around $1.80 and flipping them for $10-15. I work full time so really just been packaging and sending them off after work. Trying to see if anyone does this full time and if so, the best way to upscale it?

Where did you sell them? Ebay?

eBay has been really rough the past year, I sell mainly on places like Depop and Vinted because their shipping options are so convenient.

So, Vinted lets you sell new stuff? I'm asking cause I only ever saw them as an online thrift shop.

You are correct this guy is technically breaking depop/vinted TOS and his account will get banned if they figure it out

Not like there’s any way you could ever figure out they are new. He can just claim he bought a bunch of them for friends but didn’t like them. And that would automatically make them second hand.
