The vast majority of scalpers are "new" to the game. They have no idea what's coming and it's hilarious. Just a few short years ago, there weren't any bot programs like there is today. So it'll be even more hilarious reading all the complaints from the scalpers to and fro. Back then, years ago, is when a person could make some real money. Selling things out the back of a van in a Toys R Us or flea market. Cash only. Sell your shit and gtfo dodge. First rule of thumb when trying to make an obscene profit on limited and expensive retail goods goods is never do it online or where your ass can be traced. Nowadays it's tough, yes, but there are alternatives.
Now the reality check for these filthy scalpers. Ebay fees. In browsing Ebay at some of them, the vast majority of these Sellers seem to be "new" to Ebay or even Amazon. More than likely these "Sellers" think it's free money that they make on Ebay and Amazon. It's not. Ebay 'et all are the ones making the real money. So is Paypal through Paypal fees like transfer fees, etc. More than likely these scalpers spent the vast majority of their earns already on shopping sprees all happy as a clam and unbeknownst to them, the dreaded Ebay monthly fee tally comes in.
Just about now or very soon, they'll be getting the first taste of the noobism they have wrought, they're greed. In the form of Ebay's lovely embrace, the Account Summary shall descend under the Seller Account account options when they log in and wonder why the hell they'll have to pay Ebay thousands of dollars. Here is where the intellectually inferior high-on quick cash scalper filth will come to an stark realization. They done fucked up. And there's also someone called Mr. IRS looming around the corner. When you sell a certain amount on Ebay, it get's reported to the IRS. This means, that sweet sweet easy money left over from Ebay and Paypal fees get's further reduced because you have to pay something called taxes. Merry Christmas you filthy animals.
