The Best Strategy for Successful Returns Trading
Learn how to achieve high margins in returns trading with the right strategy – including tips on procurement, assortment, and distribution.
By Lukas Brenner
Why Returns Trading is Lucrative
Trading in returns pallets offers high margins – often 100% or higher on individual items. Amazon and Shein products are particularly in demand because they offer well-known brands, current trends, and high quality.
As a wholesaler, you benefit from tiered prices (1-3 €/piece) and direct deliveries from Germany. With EU-wide shipping, you also save on logistics costs.
The Right Procurement Strategy
Buy pallets with at least 600 items to take advantage of economies of scale. RetourenDirekt offers verified goods in transparent categories (electronics, fashion, household), so you can specifically search for profitable niches.
Tip: Combine high-priced electronics with fast-moving fashion for stable cash flows.
Building an Assortment for Maximum Sales
Analyze your target group in advance: used goods platforms like eBay Kleinanzeigen are suitable for individual items, while B2B platforms take whole pallets. Shein products are popular among younger buyers, Amazon products among families.
Start with a focus on 2-3 categories and expand based on sales data.
Efficient Preparation and Distribution
Check the goods for completeness and clean them if necessary. Surface defects hardly reduce the value – but communicate transparently. Use bulk listings or bundle offers (e.g., '5 smartphones at a special price').
Store items sorted by category to enable quick commissioning.
