Where can I sell my Nintendo Switch mail-in modding services?

[RubyDaCherry]

Hello!

I’m an experienced independant electronics repair technician and console modder, and I have been hardmodding consoles for quite a while to make some extra money and simply for the fun of it. Most of my clients so far have come through word of mouth, friends of friends, or through a local online marketplace.


Unfortunately, that marketplace recently stopped allowing people to advertise these kinds of services, so I’m now looking for another way to offer my modding services online, ideally as a mail-in service where customers can ship me their consoles and I send them back once the work is done.


The problem is that most marketplaces I’ve checked seem to prohibit Switch modchip installation services.


Does anyone know of a good platform for this kind of work?


I don’t have much experience with setting up an online business, so any advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you very much!

I see local hardware repair shops advertising these services directly on their own websites, so I highly doubt anyone really cares beyond online platforms potentially taking down your store

The last time I remember Nintendo going after anyone in France was back in 2011 over Nintendo DS flashcarts, and that involved people importing and selling them in large quantities. No one has ever been attacked for simply installing modchips, atleast here and as far as i know.

Modders on this site gotten cease and desist order, I mean if they send you one and you don't stop next step is lawsuit.

As far as I know there haven't been any such cases in France. Nintendo mostly just pressures websites and platforms to remove modchipping services lol

But yeah even if they did come after you, I guess you could simply stop offering the service

In France we literally have hardware repair shops openly advertising modchipping services in their stores, nobody seems to care

Best of luck to you.

I've noticed too. I've dropped using anything wording wise to do with modding or picofly. I might mention thermal paste types and the No stick drift TMR upgrade. To give an idea of something happened. I make clear I don't offer it setup, but I am under presumption that the SD card setup ones sell quicker. Locally I don't get any bites. I'm almost as Rural as you could be in USA. I refuse to use facebook. I straight up buy switches reshell them make sure everything translated great then slap a chip on. If I bricked someones console doing this I offer no way to recover files currently. And quite frankly I wouldn't feel bad. I've done 7 no issues so far.
I have an alternative to the 'online market places' . Which is making a website on Wordpress. Something like 3$USD a month. Sites with web builders installed are $12 USD or more. But the issue with this is advertising. Which I can't quite figure out.

Anyway thinking about this I think there was a Modder Alias.


So With this is why I don't offer SD cards with it, I feel yes I offer the chip but what the End user does is what the end user does. I don't think backing up your games is wrong. Unfortunately in the day and age we're in, it's encouraged. Sony is doing just as much crazy sh@t as Nintendo.Modder HAMMERED BY Nintendo
