01 — The challenge

The client had spent two years reselling other brands' tools at 15% margins on eBay.de. He had the niche knowledge and the account history — but no product of his own, and no idea how to source one without betting his savings.

02 — Our strategy

Convert his reselling data into a private-label roadmap. His own sales history showed exactly which tool categories moved fastest and where buyers complained about quality — so we designed a line that fixed those complaints and priced it between the cheap imports and the premium brands.

03 — Execution

  • Client's own 24-month sales data mined for the launch line-up
  • German-language listing SEO with full item specifics for eBay.de
  • First MOQ run sized against proven resell volumes — zero guesswork
  • Warranty and returns workflow built for German buyer expectations
