Passive income: NO

Clothes flipping is generally not a passive income stream for most people. It requires active involvement in sourcing, listing, selling, and shipping items. To make it passive, one would need to set up systems for automation and outsourcing, such as hiring virtual assistants for listing and customer service, and using fulfillment services for shipping. However, this setup requires significant upfront investment and management. Most people do not reach this level, as it demands scale and efficiency that are challenging to achieve. Outliers who succeed often have extensive experience and resources. Many people are misled by the idea that it can be easily passive, but in reality, it remains an active hustle for the majority.
