About uBuyFirst | eBay Arbitrage Software

As long-time resellers, we grew frustrated with the limitations of standard search. That’s why we created uBuyFirst—the eBay buying software with the professional-grade tools the market was missing.

❤️ Our Mission

Empower Professional Buyers to Master eBay's Hidden Opportunities

Every day, millions of items flood eBay—the world’s largest garage sale. This creates a unique opportunity: consistent access to inventory at prices traditional channels can’t match.

The challenge? Finding the right products in this massive haystack requires speed and precision. The deals are there, but only the fastest and most equipped buyers win.

That’s where uBuyFirst comes in. Our enterprise-grade tools transform eBay from an overwhelming marketplace into a reliable sourcing channel—whether you’re scaling from your garage or managing a multi-million dollar operation.

Our mission is simple:

To power resellers to transform eBay into a consistent and profitable product acquisition channel.

Our Story

Hi, I'm Dustin, founder of uBuyFirst deal finder for eBay

Born from over 16 years of professional reselling experience, we built the eBay buyer tools we always needed to find profitable deals and gain a competitive edge.

The uBuyFirst origin: We created this tool to help our phone collection business source and acquire more products to refurbish and wholesale. What started as an internal solution grew as we helped friends in other industries leverage eBay more effectively.

Today, uBuyFirst empowers a community of resellers with the speed, visibility, and control they need to succeed – built by sellers, for sellers.
