Questions, answered.
Is it really free?
Yes. Three searches a day, free, forever. A free account keeps your daily count and history (Pro unlocks unlimited searches and sold-price data for resellers doing real volume).
Where do the numbers come from?
Live eBay active listings (and, on Pro, recent sold prices) run against eBay's exact category fee for the item, plus shipping and per-order costs against the buy price you enter.
How accurate is the AI photo scan?
Good enough to identify most thrift finds without a barcode. You can always refine the match or type the item if it's a tricky one.
Can I cancel the trial anytime?
Anytime, in a couple taps. The 7-day trial doesn't charge you until it ends, and you keep free access either way.
Do I need an account?
Yes. A free account is required to search, so we can track your daily limit and history. No credit card for the free tier.
Does it work beyond eBay?
Today Flip or Pass is eBay-focused. Multi-marketplace support (Amazon, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace) is on the roadmap.
My dad put me onto pawn shops. He'd buy it right and resell to folks he knew. I'm the one who took it online, flipping thrift finds on eBay. Flip or Pass is the gut check I always wanted in the aisle: type any item, get a FLIP or PASS before you buy.
