Your first payout, end to end
A worked example from committing to a deal to money leaving our account, with the real numbers.
This is the whole thing once, with numbers, so nothing later is a surprise.
The example
A deal is open for a STARLINK Mini. The deal says:
| We pay | $305.00 per unit |
| Retail (MSRP) | $249.00 |
| Your margin | $56.00 per unit |
| Accepted at | Hialeah FL, Los Alamitos CA |
You can buy four of them at $249. That is $996 spent and $1,220 coming back, so $224 of margin before shipping.
Commit to four
On the deal, set the quantity to 4 and commit. Nothing is charged and nothing is reserved on your card — committing tells us to expect four, and it is how the warehouse knows a package is yours rather than a stranger's.
You can still cancel, and you can send fewer than you committed.
Buy the stock
Anywhere. It must be the exact product on the deal, and it must be new and sealed in its retail packaging.
Send it
Say you are 40 minutes from Hialeah. You request a drop-off rather than shipping, so there is no label and no carrier.
If you were shipping instead, you would build a submission and either let us buy the label or paste your own tracking number.
The warehouse checks it in
They open the box, count what is inside, and record it. Suppose one of the four turns out to be an open-box return and is rejected. Three check in.
Your balance moves
Three units at $305 lands $915 in your balance. The fourth stays as an open commitment — it was never received, so it was never paid for, and you can send it again or cancel it.
Withdraw
Go to Wallet, and request a payout. The full available balance goes at once. It arrives by Wise or PayPal, typically within one to three business days.
What the numbers actually did
| Spent at retail (4 × $249) | −$996.00 |
| Credited (3 × $305) | +$915.00 |
| One unit rejected, still committed | $0.00 |
| Net on this run | −$81.00 |
That is the honest version. One rejected unit turned a $224 profit into an $81 loss, because the margin per unit is thin relative to the retail price. This is the single most important thing to understand about the model:
Rejects are where the money goes
Your margin is per unit, but your cost is per unit too. On a deal with a 20% margin, one unit in five being rejected wipes out the run. Buy sealed, ship carefully, and read Packing and labelling before your first package — most rejects are avoidable and are caused by packaging, not by the product.
