There are plenty of people that make pretty god coin flipping on ebay.

3,500 in a month seems a bit much. That's 116 items per day. One individual would be processing 14 items an hour in an 8 hour day.

It is odd.

A bunch of years ago I set up some ecomm infrastructure for P&G.

Every now and again someone from fulfillment would call me about a product return that they had a record of shipping out but they did not have the customers financial info to refund the card.

One day while looking at transactions to improve the back end database I sorted them a way I had never done before and boom, the light went off.

Found a guy in the database who had done hundreds of transactions.

His entire business was finding deals on the net, free shipping, discount codes, etc... He would list the products on his own website, and he had hundreds of them, take an order from and bang the customer card, buy the product using his own card but have all the order info as the original customer so the manufacturer dropped shipped direct.

Based on the orders he was placing with P&G he seemed to be making a nice living and had no overhead other than a computer and internet connection.
