Why hourly rate matters
Net profit only shows the dollars left after a sale. Hourly rate shows whether the sourcing route, cleaning work, listing effort, and packing process are worth repeating with limited seller time.
Use this after a fee or ROI calculation. A flip can look profitable on paper and still be a poor use of time if it takes too long to source, photograph, test, or ship.
