Why You Need This Checklist

What if the reason your eBay-to-Amazon flips are underperforming has nothing to do with the model itself — and everything to do with a handful of costly, completely avoidable mistakes? Steve from Raiken Profit spent nearly six years and over $4 million in sales learning these lessons the hard way, so you don't have to.

Here's the reality: most people who try eBay-to-Amazon flipping quit early not because the opportunity isn't real, but because they walk in blind. They overbid on products the brand is actively policing. They chase fast-selling ASINs that put a target on their back. They skip the Keepa data and overpay based on a snapshot buy box price that means nothing in two weeks. They buy counterfeit DVDs without realizing it. They fail to get sales tax exempt and quietly bleed 6 to 10 percent on every single purchase. Sound familiar? These aren't rare edge cases — they're the default path for anyone who doesn't know what to watch for.

Imagine instead logging into your seller account and seeing clean margins, no IP complaints, no suspended listings, and inventory that actually moves. Imagine buying with confidence because you know exactly how to read a Keepa chart, you've negotiated better prices through eBay best offers, you're earning 2% cash back on every dollar you spend, and your product selection is smart enough to fly under the radar while still being profitable. That's what this checklist is designed to help you build.

Steve has flipped roughly 50,000 products from eBay to Amazon over five and a half years and has the scars to prove what works and what doesn't. He's coached sellers at every level, from complete beginners to high-volume FBM operators, and the mistakes he documents in this video come up again and again. The 15-step checklist you're holding distills every single warning, rule of thumb, and hard-won insight from that experience into a format you can act on today.

Use this checklist before you source your next product, before you list, and before you scale. It will help you avoid counterfeit traps, time your cash flow correctly, set smarter ROI thresholds, inspect eBay listings like a pro, and build a replens list that nobody else is tracking. Every step is grounded in what Steve actually does at scale — nothing generic, nothing theoretical. Download it, print it out, and make it part of your sourcing routine.
