Free Canadian reseller tool

eBay Canada profit calculator for thrift flips.

Use this before you buy. Enter the expected sale price, item cost, shipping, fees, and sold-listing demand to get a realistic buy, watch, or pass signal.

Run the numbers

Use conservative estimates. The goal is to avoid buying items that look cheap but fail after fees and postage.

The Frayvo buy rule

Try to buy only when the exact item has demand, the shipping is manageable, and your purchase cost leaves room for fees, returns, and mistakes.

  • Search the exact model, not just the brand.
  • Compare sold listings against active listings.
  • Walk away when profit is too thin.

Why small items win

Small items are easier to store, photograph, test, and ship. They also reduce the chance that postage turns a good-looking flip into a loss.

  • Remotes, calculators, ink, chargers, and accessories are easier to ship.
  • Large items need bigger profit margins to be worth the work.

Use this as a filter

This tool is a decision aid, not a guarantee. eBay fees, shipping, demand, condition, and returns can change the outcome.

  • Use current sold comps before every purchase.
  • Take clear photos and describe flaws honestly.
Tip: if a thrift item does not pass the math, do not buy it just because the category sounds good.

Research lanes

Small-item categories worth checking first
