Cash Flow

The timing of money coming in (from sales) and going out (sourcing, fees, shipping). Resellers with strong sales but slow inventory turnover can face cash flow problems — capital tied up in stock prevents reinvestment. Managing cash flow means not over-buying inventory before generating returns from current stock, and ensuring sales receipts arrive before major expense payments. Fast-selling platforms like Facebook Marketplace (cash at pickup) have the best cash flow profile.
