Questions about inventory, profit, and the community.
Answers to common questions about tracking inventory, recording sales, and understanding your resale profit.
Can I ask FlipHall about my business?
Yes. Ask uses your signed-in shop's inventory, sales, budget and research to answer questions, with reselling guidance for deal reviews, clothing, electronics and reports. Member accounts have a daily question allowance. It reads your records and cannot change them; availability depends on the assistant service.
Can I search online thrift auctions?
Yes. In Deals, choose ShopGoodwill, Salvation Army or both, then search by keyword, category or topic and maximum current price. Save finds for review and use Update now to refresh saved auction prices. Search results can be cached briefly. Check shipping, condition and matching sold evidence before bidding; FlipHall does not bid or buy for you.
Can I share flip stories and follow other resellers?
Yes. Share wins, lessons, and finds that are still waiting to sell. Photos, purchase prices, and profit figures are optional. Follow shops and categories to build your Following feed, or join the rotating weekly prompt.
How do replies and resolved price checks work?
Your in-app Notifications page shows replies to your stories and price checks. Price-check authors can mark a helpful answer, save what happened next, and resolve the check. Fliphall also emails those notices unless you turn email notifications off in Settings.
How can I report content or block a member?
Open Report or block on a story, comment, price check, reply, or Hall message. Reports go to the operator moderation queue. Blocking hides community content between both members and prevents replies and follows. Manage your blocks under Following.
What is FlipHall?
FlipHall is a community and workspace for flippers and resellers. Share finds, ask other members for price checks, and talk sourcing in the Hall. Inventory, sales, expenses, and profit tracking help you keep the business side organized too.
How can I take part in the community?
Create an account and complete your shop setup, then open Community from the app navigation. Browse finds by category, answer a price check, or introduce yourself in the Hall. My activity brings together price checks you have posted or answered.
Who is FlipHall for?
FlipHall is built for resellers and flippers who source secondhand goods and want to organize their inventory and understand their margins. Use it to track thrift finds, estate-sale purchases, and other resale stock.
Can I import my existing inventory and sales?
Yes. The import wizard accepts CSV files for inventory and sales, lets you map your columns, and saves mappings for future imports. You can also export inventory and sales as CSV files.
Does FlipHall automatically sync with eBay?
You can connect an eBay account in Settings. FlipHall imports active USD or CAD listings, including variations that have a SKU, and paid orders. A new connection brings in the past 90 days, one month at a time, then checks for updates about every 15 minutes. eBay does not return orders older than that. Selling fees come in with each order. After you reconnect, eBay label costs and promoted-listing fees come in too. Purchase costs, bins, and notes stay as you entered them, and postage bought outside eBay still needs an entry. You can also import and export inventory and sales as CSV files. FlipHall does not publish or end listings on eBay for you.
How does FlipHall calculate resale profit?
Item net profit starts with the sale price and shipping collected, then subtracts the cost of the items sold, marketplace fees, advertising fees, shipping costs, and refunds. The dashboard also shows net after overhead, including recorded expenses and mileage.
Can I track items before they are listed?
Yes. Separate inventory views help you organize unlisted, active, and sold items. You can record purchase and storage locations, find records with missing information, and review items due to be relisted.
Can I record business expenses and mileage?
Yes. FlipHall includes expense and mileage records alongside profit-and-loss and tax report views. The reports help you organize your records; they do not file a tax return for you.
What is Thrift Sighting Mode?
A phone-friendly screen for logging brands while you shop. Start a trip, tap a brand each time you see it, search for or add a brand you do not recognize, and undo a mistaken tap. When you end the trip you see how many brands and pieces you logged. It needs no comps and no forms in the store.
How does FlipHall decide which brands are worth researching?
It shows two things side by side and lets you decide. Resale demand comes from the sold counts you import from eBay at your minimum research price. Local availability comes from your own trips: the share of trips where you saw the brand, and how many pieces per trip. Brands that are strong on both are grouped first. It does not tell you to buy anything, and it says so when you have too few trips to judge.
Can I enter what I paid for a lot instead of per item?
Yes. On an item with a quantity above one, choose whether the cost you enter is for each unit or for all of them, and FlipHall divides it for you. Your profit goal is also shared across the quantity on a listing, so a low-priced multi-pack is not held to a single-item profit target.
Can FlipHall clean up my photos and write my eBay listing?
Yes, inside any unlisted or active item once you have a free account. Add photos from your phone, remove the backgrounds so the item sits on white with a soft shadow (with tools to straighten clothing, trim a table reflection, remove stray objects, and nudge or rotate the result), check your shots against a standard shot list for that kind of item, and get a draft title, category, item specifics, condition notes, description, and an estimated packed weight and box size. You edit the draft and copy each part into eBay. Drafts can be wrong, so always check brand, model, size, and condition against the item. FlipHall does not post to eBay for you.
Are there limits on photo clean-up and listing drafts?
Yes. This work runs on FlipHall's own equipment, so each account has daily limits, and the feature can be briefly unavailable when that equipment is offline. You can still add photos and write or edit your listing by hand at any time.
How do I get started?
Create an account, complete your setup, then add inventory or import a CSV. Record your costs and update your sales details to start reviewing your margins in the dashboard.
