How to Read This Index
Cost-per-unit tells you your absolute floor price, not your resale price. Clothing categories have the lowest cost-per-unit but require more listing time per dollar earned; electronics carry higher per-unit cost but far higher per-unit resale value. Match the category to how much time you can spend testing, sorting, and listing.
