Convenience stores, gift shops, phone repair shops, small online sellers, flea market and event vendors.

You sell at a wholesale price above your landed cost (product, shipping and any import fees). Minimum order sizes and repeat orders from regular buyers keep margins steady.

• Negotiating with suppliers
• Selling to business buyers
• Organizing stock and orders
• Basic bookkeeping

• Counterfeit or knock-off goods, which can bring legal trouble. Buy from verified suppliers and ask for paperwork
• FCC and safety marks on electronics, and rules for products with lithium batteries. Check what applies to what you sell
• Tariffs and import costs if buying from overseas, which can change your margins
• General liability and product liability insurance, since faulty chargers can cause damage
• Check HOA or lease rules and any home occupation permit if you store stock at home
• Cash tied up in unsold stock, so start small

Startup costs are typically around $2,000 to $10,000, depending on how much stock you buy and whether you hold it at home or ship from a supplier. These are estimates, and starting with a small order helps limit cash tied up in unsold stock.

Monthly revenue is typically around $2,000 to $10,000, depending on your suppliers, the buyers you win and how many hours you put in. These are estimates, not guarantees, and revenue is not the same as profit once you pay for stock.

Check for counterfeit or knock-off goods by buying from verified suppliers and asking for paperwork. Also check FCC and safety marks, lithium battery rules, tariffs on imports, insurance, and any HOA, lease or home occupation permit rules for storing stock at home.
