How does online arbitrage work?

Online arbitrage is reselling where both the buying and the selling happen online. You buy a product from an online store at a low price and sell it on a big online marketplace at a higher price. The difference, minus the marketplace's fees and shipping, is your profit. Take Profit finds the price gaps for you and handles the listing and shipping.

Do I ever touch the items?

No. When you buy an item, you enter the partner warehouse's address at checkout instead of your own. The warehouse receives the item, checks it, packs it, and ships it to the marketplace. You watch each step in the app.

Does Take Profit take a cut of my sales?

No. Take Profit charges a monthly subscription and nothing else. When an item sells, the marketplace pays your own seller account. The app never touches that money.

You control the budget completely, because you buy every item yourself with your own money. The app cannot spend on your behalf and cannot stop you from buying more than you planned, so decide your limit before you start and stick to it. The app does limit how many different products it shows you at a time.

No. Take Profit gives you data and handles the logistics. The seller account is yours, the items are yours, and you can sell them anywhere you like, with or without the app.

How long until I see money?

Plan on about three weeks from buying an item to it being live for sale. That covers delivery to the warehouse, checking, packing, and shipping to the marketplace. It can be faster or slower depending on the time of year. After that, how fast the item sells depends on the item, which is why the app shows how many sold last month.

How reselling works with Take Profit, step by step

Reselling is buying a product at one price and selling it online at a higher one. Take Profit does the finding, the math, the listing, and the shipping. You do the picking and the buying. Here is what happens from the moment you open the app to the day the money lands in your account.

How does reselling work?

Reselling works because the same product is often sold at different prices in different places. A big online store puts an item on clearance, or bundles it, or simply prices it low. On a large online marketplace, where millions of people search for that exact item by name, the price stays higher. A reseller buys where it is cheap and sells where it is expensive.

The catch is everything around that simple idea. You have to find the price gaps, work out the marketplace fees, know how fast the item sells, create the listing, and get the item to the marketplace packed the right way. Done by hand, that is hours of comparing and a lot of boxes. Take Profit is built to do those parts for you.

What happens, step by step

Step 1
The AI finds the products
Around the clock, the AI checks more than 100,000 products from big US online stores, retailers and wholesalers. For each one it compares the store price with the marketplace price, subtracts the marketplace fees, shipping, and warehouse handling, and checks how many sold last month. Only items that leave a profit make it into your feed.
Step 2
You read the numbers and pick
Scroll the feed like short videos. Each item shows, in plain words, what you pay, what it sells for, what you keep per item, and how fast it sells. No seller jargon. Tap the ones you like.
Step 3
You buy it from the store
The app gives you the exact link to the item and short instructions, including the warehouse address to use at checkout. You buy with your own money, at the price you saw, as many as you decide. The app never spends for you.
Step 4
The warehouse checks, packs, and ships
The store delivers to the partner warehouse. Staff there check the item, label and pack it the way the marketplace requires, and ship it to the marketplace's own warehouse. You never see a box.
Step 5
The app lists it under your account
Every item in the feed already has a product page on the marketplace. The app adds your offer to that page under your own seller account. It never invents a new product page, so buyers who already shop that page can find your item on day one.
Step 6
It sells and you get paid
The marketplace stores your item, ships it to the buyer, handles returns, and pays your seller account. The app shows every item's status, from purchase to sale, plus reports on how you are doing.

Where do the items sell?

Today, on Amazon.com, under your own Amazon seller account. If you do not have one, the app walks you through opening it. More marketplaces are planned. The Amazon details, including what the warehouse step looks like there, are on the Amazon page.

How long does it take?

From buying an item to it being live for sale, plan on about three weeks. That covers the store delivering to the warehouse, the warehouse checking and packing, shipping to the marketplace, and the marketplace putting it on the shelf. It can be faster or slower depending on the time of year; the weeks before big holidays are the slowest.

After that, selling speed depends on the item. That is why every item in the feed shows how many sold last month. An item that sold 900 times last month will usually move within days. An item that sold 20 times may take weeks.

What does it cost?

There are four costs, and the profit number in the app already subtracts the last three:

The Take Profit subscription. Monthly, final price not published yet. It is the only money Take Profit takes.
The items themselves. You pay the store directly when you buy.
Marketplace fees. The marketplace takes a cut when the item sells and charges a small fee for storing and delivering it.
Warehouse handling. A per-item fee for checking and packing, charged when your item is prepped.

What can go wrong?

Three things, mostly. A price can drop after you buy, which shrinks or removes the profit on that item. An item can sell slower than the history suggested. And an item can arrive at the warehouse damaged or wrong, in which case the warehouse flags it in the app and you ask the store for a refund or replacement, the same as with any online order.

Take Profit shows you real numbers so you can judge each item, but it does not guarantee profit and is not responsible for what you decide to buy. Start with a small budget, watch what sells, and grow from there.
