What is part time arbitrage?

Part time arbitrage refers to the practice of buying and selling products, assets, or securities in different markets to take advantage of price differences, while doing so on a part-time basis. Individuals engaged in part time arbitrage often source items from one marketplace at a lower price and resell them for profit elsewhere, typically as a side hustle or supplemental income. Common examples include retail arbitrage (buying products from local stores or online and selling them on platforms like Amazon or eBay) or financial arbitrage in markets. It requires research, attention to market trends, and an understanding of related fees and logistics.
