Lowkey Flips Selling
Know the Return Policy Before You Buy
Sometimes, a deal may seem great, but if the item doesn’t sell as expected, you’ll want to know your options.
What to Look For in a Return Policy: • How long do you have to return an item? • Is the return window different for clearance or open-box items? • Can you return items without a receipt (if needed)?

Buy Bulk Packaging & Compare Prices
Buying packaging materials in bulk saves money in the long run.
Best Places to Source Cheap Packaging: • Uline – Wholesale boxes, poly mailers, and tape. • eBay – Many sellers offer bulk poly mailers and boxes at great prices. • Amazon – Often has good deals but compare with other sources. • Local Office Supply Stores – Check for clearance or bulk deals.

Take Clear Photos for Maximum Sales
If you have the product in hand, take high-quality pictures. Listings with clear, well-lit photos attract more buyers and often sell faster at higher prices.
Photo Tips: • Use a clean, non-distracting background (a plain wall, white sheet, or lightbox). • Take multiple angles and close-ups of details. • Ensure proper lighting (natural light or ring lights work best). • If selling on eBay or Amazon, avoid watermarks and unnecessary edits.
