Open FlipTip like a real app
Sourcing stock or listing an item? Instantly check the current resale value on eBay UK to see your potential profit before you buy or list.
FlipTip AI scans your item and instantly analyses thousands of similar current listings on eBay UK. It estimates a realistic sale price, a smart sourcing price, your expected profit, and how quickly it's likely to sell.
Check eBay's 'Sold Items' filter to see what buyers have actually paid for items like yours, not just the current asking prices. This is the most accurate way to price your listings competitively.
For most categories, eBay charges private sellers a final value fee of 12.8% of the total sale amount (including postage), plus a fixed 30p per order. You get up to 300 free listings per month.
Research 'completed listings' to see what similar items have actually sold for. For auction-style listings, a low starting price can generate more interest. For 'Buy It Now', price competitively against similar active listings.
Yes, it can be very profitable if you choose the right products and understand your costs. eBay gives you access to millions of buyers, but you need to factor in fees and postage to ensure you make a good margin on each sale.
Electronics like mobile phones, branded clothing and trainers, and in-demand collectables tend to sell quickly. Items with a high sell-through rate (the number of items sold vs. the number listed) are always a good bet for a fast flip.
