@Vertemes send me your address and I’ll send you 10-20 slabs you can sell so you can get some experience at 0 cost basis
Did you copy and paste this from Leonhart 
Yes, if you have capital
Many people buy on goldin / heritage and list for 50% more on BIN on eBay
They don’t sell fast but they do eventually sell
Just gotta have the capital to not “need” to sell as soon as you buy it
But these are bigger cards, mainly
Buy for 2k, list for 3k
Or buy at 4k list for 6k
Buying raws on FB to grade and flip is not worth it
Sometimes opportunities do come but it’s not something that you could make a decent hourly wage from

As someone who lives in NL , not being from the U.S. is definitely an advantage.
For example there are almost never shadowless base holos for sale in NL but the demand is there and a lot of people dont want to deal with importing cards from U.S.
For a long time i was the only one that had these cards for sale and had a sort of monopoly on them.
In the end, constantly checking auctions and finding deals isnt worth it anymore for me.
Takes too much of my finite time.

I may have an unpopular opinion here.
I would recommend not focusing on the monetary side of your hobby. Instead, enjoy your childhood and teenage years. Work your job and save your money, make friends, graduate from high school, obtain a job or attend higher education if desired.
If this venture is allowing you to learn new skills while doing something that you love, then that’s awesome. But please don’t let your childhood/teenage years be consumed by an eBay shop or by social media telling you to make money. You have the rest of your adult life to do that, and with dedication and a little bit of luck, you’ll have the knowledge and resources to be successful.

I appreciate that this has been solved, but I’m going to add my two cents anyway.
First - there’s nothing wrong with buying the odd lot of cards, grading the mint cards, and selling the ungradeables as singles. As long as you have a basic understanding of math, you’ll make money doing this. As others have said though, you’re unlikely to make more than minimum wage and in most cases will make less. Still there’s nothing wrong with this as long as you’re doing it as a hobby / for enjoyment.
If you want to turn this into a real business then you need to approach it as such. As a business, reselling is no longer about your enjoyment of Pokemon. It’s about your ability to source, sell, and fulfill as efficiently as possible. That’s all that matters, and if you can do those things well you can still scale up and make meaningful money.
Pokemon’s a large enough market that there’s still plenty of room for new entrants, but you need to be aware that you’re competing against people with way more money and experience than you. They have more more lucrative sources of cards, they can grade cheaper than you, their eBay fees are lower, and they can ship cheaper as well - you need to overcome these disadvantages to survive long term.
Most of this isn’t unique to Pokemon, it’s just true of business generally. TBH if you have a real interest starting your own business, whether it be reselling Pokemon cards or doing something else, my advice to you would be that you spend your time now educating yourself. From what I hear you’re quite young so time is on your side.
