Our Story

ItemsToFlip launched in 2024 after our founder, Jose, got tired of losing money on items that looked profitable but weren't after eBay fees and shipping costs ate into the margins. After selling over 1,000 items on eBay since 2019, he knew there had to be a better way.

The problem? Most "profit calculators" either required expensive subscriptions, made you create accounts just to check a price, or gave inaccurate estimates that didn't match real eBay fees. So we built ItemsToFlip from scratch using the official eBay Browse API to provide accurate, real-time market data.

Today, ItemsToFlip helps thousands of resellers make smarter buying decisions. It's 100% free because we believe every flipper—whether you're just starting or running a full-time business—deserves access to the same quality data.
