Brian Rodriguez started selling online in 2019, flipping garage-sale finds on eBay before moving to Amazon and Walmart. As more people asked how he did it, he founded Passive Automation Agency, and the company grew to more than 40 stores.
When the marketplaces cracked down on dropshipping in 2022, many agencies didn't survive. Passive Automation had already planned its next move and shifted to wholesale, buying from authorized distributors and directly from brands. Today our team runs every part of the operation in-house, and Brian's philosophy is simple: build it the right way, even if it's slower, because that's what lasts.

How our team manages risk
Every product is vetted before any capital is committed to it.
- Two to three years of sales historyWe study each product’s sales cycle, seasonality and price swings over two to three years before buying.
- Strict buying criteriaA product has to clear a minimum margin threshold before we buy it, or we pass.
- A built-in cushionThat margin is there so that if the market shifts, inventory can be cleared at or near cost instead of sitting on the shelf.
Risk can’t be removed, but it can be managed.
Who owns the store?
You do. The store and seller accounts are registered in your name, and our team operates the store on your behalf under a written agreement.
Will I have my own login to the seller account?
Your account stays in your name and under your LLC, and our team works through the access the marketplace provides for service partners. Our team operates the store on your behalf under a written agreement.
How is pricing determined?
Costs vary by marketplace and store setup. Our team walks through them with you on your private consultation, and you receive clear terms in a written proposal before anything begins.
What are the risks?
Like any business, an online store carries risk, and results vary from client to client. Past results do not guarantee future performance, and nothing is guaranteed. First sales, if any, typically arrive 30–90 days after launch.
How are you different from the “automated store” companies in the news?
It’s a fair question to ask. Our team doesn’t promise income, doesn’t quote earnings figures, and doesn’t claim to run on AI or secret software. Your store sits under your own LLC, we operate 40+ client stores, and we run our own warehouse in Greenville, SC. We encourage you to verify anything we tell you before you commit to anything.
What happens if the marketplace suspends the account?
Every seller on Amazon and Walmart is subject to marketplace policy, and no one can promise a store will never face a review. What our team controls is how the store is built: it sells under brand authorization, buys from authorized distributors and brands, and every product is vetted before capital is committed. If the marketplace takes action, our team works with you and the marketplace to resolve it, though no outcome can be promised.
How does an engagement end?
You may end the engagement with 30 days’ written notice, and your store is handed back to you.
How involved do I need to be?
Very little. Our team handles day-to-day operations, including sourcing, listings, fulfillment and customer service. You keep full visibility through your client dashboard and can reach our team whenever you have a question.
Which marketplace is right for me?
It depends on your goals and the capital you’re prepared to commit. Our team reviews this with you on your private consultation and recommends Amazon, Walmart, or eBay based on your situation.
How are products chosen?
Every product is vetted against two to three years of sales history and must meet our buying criteria before any capital is used. Products that don’t qualify are passed on.
Where does my capital go, and can I see the inventory?
Capital is used to buy inventory for your store from authorized distributors and brands, and your client dashboard shows orders, inventory and account health. Our team also operates its own warehouse in Greenville, SC. Our team walks through all costs with you on your consultation, and terms are in writing before anything begins.
How is profit paid and reported?
Marketplace payouts go to your own bank account under your LLC. Our team works on a revenue-share model, and the exact terms are set out in your written proposal before anything begins. You also receive monthly reporting, and your dashboard shows store activity.
Do I need an LLC or business entity?
Yes, each store operates under an LLC. You don’t need to have one already: our team helps you set it up as part of onboarding.
How do I see what’s happening in my store?
Every client gets a live dashboard showing orders, inventory and account health, and you can reach our team directly with any question.
What happens after I apply?
Our team personally reviews every application. If it looks like a fit, you’ll be invited to book a private consultation.
