eBay Toys & Games case studyFirst profit in week three, $11K months by month four

01 — The challenge

The client had been burned by a dropshipping course and trusted nothing. The brief was strict: prove the model fast, on a real account, with every number visible. Toys & Games offered year-round demand plus a Q4 rocket — if sourcing was disciplined.

02 — Our strategy

Arbitrage is a numbers game: buy only what Terapeak proves is already selling, price to win the Buy Box on eBay search, and turn stock fast. We set hard rules — minimum $4 net per unit, 30-day maximum sell-through, no VeRO-flagged brands — and sourced only against them.

03 — Execution

• 140+ retail and online arbitrage flips sourced in the first 60 days
• Prep-centre workflow — client never touches a shipping label
• Repricing rules tuned weekly against competitor sell-through
• Q4 toy catalogue prepped 8 weeks before the demand spike
