The 3-phase plan

A clear roadmap
to monthly income.

No fantasy, no fluff. Three structured phases. eBay unlocks OnBuy, OnBuy unlocks the long-term channel that does the real heavy lifting.

01
Phase 1
eBay Ramp-up
Goal: 50 positive reviews

We list small, fast-moving products on your new eBay account and ship them quickly to rapidly build the 50 positive reviews needed to unlock OnBuy. The faster the reviews come in, the faster Phase 2 begins.

02
Phase 2
OnBuy Unlock
Goal: OnBuy live

With 50 verified reviews we register your OnBuy seller account using your eBay history. OnBuy is arbitrage-tolerant, has lower fees than eBay, and becomes the main sales channel. The real business takes shape.

03
Phase 3
Steady Income
Goal: sustainable monthly income

OnBuy becomes the main long-term channel. Arbitrage-tolerant, scalable, sustainable. Every payout: 30% of net profit (after marketplace fees and product cost) straight to your account, within 24 hours. If eBay is still active alongside, that's a bonus.

Account protection

The work that keeps you safe.

This isn't TikTok-tutorial arbitrage. We've built a multi-layered operational system to protect your account from suspension, brand takedowns and detection. Here's exactly what that looks like in practice.

01

Brand & IP screening

Every product passes through our VeRO blacklist before listing. We never touch protected brands known for issuing takedowns — Apple, Nike, Disney, Lego, Adidas and hundreds more. Saves your account, every time.

02

Listing transformation

We don't copy-paste source listings. Every title, description and image is rewritten or replaced to create a unique, professional listing. This stops detection algorithms from spotting duplicate content across marketplaces.

03

IP & fingerprint isolation

Your account runs on its own dedicated IP, browser profile and device fingerprint. Completely separate from our other operations. eBay's algorithms can't link your account to anything else, which is the #1 cause of mass suspensions.

04

Product compliance

UK consumer safety (CE/UKCA marks), age restrictions, hazardous goods, electrical certifications — all checked before a product ever goes live. Compliance issues are another silent account killer; we filter them out.

05

Sourcing & receipts

We source through verified channels and retain proof of purchase for every item. If eBay or a buyer queries authenticity, we can prove the supply chain. This protects you against counterfeit complaints and policy disputes.

06

Metrics & defect monitoring

We monitor seller performance daily — late dispatch rate, defect rate, return rate, INR cases. Issues are addressed before they trigger a restriction. We treat your account like our own, because that's what it is during the partnership.

Honest disclosure: these layers significantly reduce risk but no operational system can eliminate it entirely. eBay's enforcement can still catch any retail-arbitrage account given enough time. That's why the £1,000 Setup Fee Guarantee exists for Phase 1, and why the long-term home of the business is OnBuy, where arbitrage is fully allowed.

The maths

How the 30%
split works.

Every penny is tracked across both channels. Live sales, marketplace fees, product costs and your share — all visible on your dashboard, updated after every payout.

The example on the right shows the structural mechanics of the 70/30 split on a hypothetical £10,000 month. Your real numbers will be different — could be lower, could be much higher. We don't promise specific figures.

How the split works
After marketplace fees AND product cost, 30% of what's left is yours, every payout

Illustrative
Combined sales (gross) £10,000

Product cost (~60%) −£6,000
Net profit £2,700

FAQ

Honest answers
to real questions.

Every reasonable question, answered plainly. Especially the awkward ones.

Is this an investment? Are you regulated by the FCA?
No. This is a commercial supplier and fulfilment services agreement between two UK limited companies. You run your own multi-channel e-commerce business; we operate it as your supplier. We don't pool funds, we don't promise returns, and this is not a collective investment scheme. Take independent legal and accounting advice before signing.
What's the actual business model?
Retail arbitrage e-commerce across two channels: eBay and OnBuy. We find products cheaper at one retailer and resell at a markup. eBay is used in Phase 1 to build the 50 reviews OnBuy requires to register new sellers. OnBuy is arbitrage-tolerant and becomes the long-term home of the business in Phases 2-3.
Are there real risks I should know about?
Yes. (1) Retail arbitrage is against eBay's dropshipping policy, so the eBay account in Phase 1 can be suspended at any time. (2) Earnings vary monthly and there is no guarantee. (3) If eBay holds funds during a review, that's beyond our control. (4) Returns and disputes reduce profit when they occur. Our £1,000 Setup Fee Guarantee covers Phase 1 eBay-shutdown scenarios, and once OnBuy is live the business continues there.
What if eBay shuts down the account?
It depends on which phase you're in. If eBay shuts down in Phase 1 (before OnBuy is live), the £1,000 Setup Fee Guarantee kicks in: refund of £1,000 minus any profit already received, plus your remaining float balance. If eBay shuts down in Phase 2 or later (after OnBuy is live), the guarantee no longer applies — by that point you have a working OnBuy business that continues to trade. The setup work delivered what it promised. Either way: your OnBuy account, all feedback and goodwill stay with you.
Do I need to do anything once it's running?
Three things, all small: (1) keep your company and bank in good standing, (2) file your own tax and statutory returns, (3) transfer agreed amounts to us within 24 hours of each marketplace payout. Everything else is on us.
What about VAT and tax?
Your 30% share is taxable income of your company. Corporation tax applies. If turnover crosses £90,000, your company must register for VAT. We'll flag VAT approach early and review commercial terms accordingly. Speak to an accountant before signing.
Can I exit if it's not working?
Yes. Either party can terminate on 30 days' written notice. On termination, we remove all our products and listings from your channels. You keep your eBay account, OnBuy account, all feedback and any goodwill — they remain yours. The float balance (less any outstanding debts) is refunded. Note: the £1,000 setup fee guarantee applies only if eBay shuts down the account in Phase 1, not if you voluntarily leave or after OnBuy is live — the setup work has already been done.
Why £1,000 setup + £500 float?
£1,000 is a one-off fee covering onboarding — system integration, account linking, initial listings. Protected by the guarantee. £500 is working capital we hold to buy products as orders come in. It rotates: drawn down by sales, topped back up by payouts. Refundable balance on exit.
What if I don't have a limited company yet?
You can register one at Companies House in under 24 hours for £50. We can guide you through it during onboarding. You'll also need a UK business bank account in the company's name — most challenger banks (Tide, Starling, Revolut Business) open these online in a day or two.
