Tips for Tracking Your ROI
Log every deal
Even small purchases add up. Logging consistently gives you an accurate picture of your true profitability across all categories.
Include all fees
Platform fees (eBay ~13%, Amazon ~15%), PayPal fees, shipping costs, and any refurbishment expenses. Missing these inflates your ROI.
Update status promptly
Mark deals as sold when they sell. Unsold stock sitting for weeks is hidden cost — your ROI tracker should reflect reality.
Review monthly
Check your overall ROI at least once a month. Identify which categories perform best and double down on what works.
