End of the Month Reseller Report // January 2023

I am a part time reseller on Mercari, Pango Books, and Ebay. I flip books online, I love having an online bookstore. Here is a break down of my January sales. This was my first month back reselling! I am hosting a giveaway to welcome back all my readers over on my Facebook page where I am giving away 12 vintage true crime novels. I also wanted to celebrate by doing a fundraiser to raise money and awareness for my favorite cat rescue.

My Cost of Goods were .25!

I didn't have to pay anything in shipping, here's a small break down of the platform fees:

Mercari: -$3.56

Pango Books: -.79

Ebay: $-1.31

Overall, I had a total of 7 transactions. A total of 9 books left the shop!

3 on Mercari

1 on Pango Books

and 1 on Ebay.

I also had 2 transactions on Paypal. (100% of the profits went to the rescue.)

My goal is consistent sales, I ended up listing only 37 books in the month of January. More listings equals more sales!!

My net profit was $17.28, BUT I did it doing something I love, giving to something I love, and with the bar set so low right now I can't wait to see how much I end up making in February.
