How to use FlipLens

A quick walkthrough of the scan flow and what the numbers mean.

1) Enter a focused keyword

Use a clear product description, ideally including brand, model and variant (for example “Nintendo Switch OLED white” or “Apple AirPods Pro 2 MagSafe”). Avoid mixing multiple products or bundles in one keyword.

2) Enter your buy price

This is what you expect to pay today. FlipLens uses this cost to calculate gross profit, fees, net profit and ROI. If you are still negotiating, you can try different costs to see how margin changes.

3) Choose a condition

Select the condition that best matches the item in your hand — Brand New or Pre-owned. Condition helps align your flip with comparable listing data. Fees are calculated automatically based on eBay UK rates.

4) Read the pricing and verdict

Valuation band — the range where most comparable prices sit.
Fast / Market / Premium — pricing strategies depending on how quickly you want to sell.
Confidence — lower when data is sparse or prices vary widely.
Deal verdict — GOOD / MAYBE / RISK / AVOID based on your cost, fees and demand.

5) When something looks off

If a result doesn't match your expectations, check:

That the keyword doesn't include bundles, accessories or a different generation.
That the condition is set correctly.
Any data quality warnings or low-comp signals.

If it still feels wrong, you can open Support from inside the app and include the keyword, condition and what you were expecting so we can investigate.

6) Privacy and your data

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time. Email privacy@fliplens.co.uk or visit our Privacy Policy and Support page for details.
