"He sold the perfume "fairly quickly," he said, and then moved on to listing items from his closet. "I had way too many clothes." After working his way through his closet items, the next step was to start shopping at discount stores for inventory. Gradually, over the last two decades, Ogunsunlade has built a six-figure side hustle reselling shoes and clothing."
"With this particular side hustle, the barrier to entry is extremely low, said Ogunsunlade: "There was no startup cost." You just have to be willing to invest time, he added: "The more time that you put into researching items and sourcing items, the more items you can list. You see a direct return on the amount of effort that you put in.""
Yinka Ogunsunlade built a six-figure eBay reselling business over two decades by sourcing shoes and clothing from closets, discount stores, and online sites like YOOX and NET-A-PORTER. His first sale was a no-cost perfume set in 2005, which established an early profit model. He scaled by listing personal items, then buying inventory at discounts. Between September 2024 and September 2025, Fashionably Legal recorded $120,000 in eBay sales. The business requires minimal startup cost but significant time investment; researching sold items and sourcing efficiently increases listings and returns. He recommends focusing on categories one enjoys selling.
