Joe Gipps

I am a commercially minded and self-motivated salesperson with years of running a profitable online business across Vinted, eBay, and Facebook marketplace. I’m experienced in product research, sourcing, pricing, margin analysis, inventory management, and creating product listings, and then using data to analyse and improve profitability. Professionally, I enjoy taking ownership of objectives, conducting analysis of what works, and then using this to find practical ways to grow results.

I’m highly comfortable with computers and in particular Google Sheets, with strong communicative skills and willingness to learn new tools as well as skills. I’m now looking for a way to bring my hands on experience into an e-commerce role while continuing to grow professionally
