About

One operator. A small fleet. A lot of shipping.

CBX Nexus is the brand name for a multi-channel autonomous commerce operation run by CB5StarSales LLC out of Austin, Texas. The goal is simple: build software that runs a real e-commerce business, then sell both the software and the products it produces.

Today the fleet is dozens of specialized agents coordinating across eBay, Etsy, Amazon KDP, Fiverr, GitHub, and YouTube — backed by an orchestrator, a self-healer, and a live dashboard. Every product on this site came out of that operation.

How we got here

  1. 2024CB5StarSales opens on eBay. Manual everything: sourcing, photos, listings, shipping runs.
  2. 2025First automations replace the spreadsheet. The store crosses 2,800+ items sold with 100% positive feedback.
  3. Early 2026The fleet goes multi-channel: Etsy, Amazon KDP, Fiverr, GitHub, and YouTube agents come online behind one orchestrator and one event log.
  4. TodayDozens of specialized agents run the day-to-day. The operator ships products — ScanToSold, CICO Walk, Metrics Wall, PrintForge — built on the same rails.

Ship, then refine.

Every product on this site is live or on a short path to live. Real users, real listings, real revenue — not slide decks.

Automate the boring parts.

The agent fleet handles sourcing, listing, pricing, fulfillment, and content — so the operator can focus on new products and strategy.

Own the stack.

Custom orchestration, custom dashboards, custom pipelines. Off-the-shelf where it makes sense, bespoke where it matters.

Build in public.

Storefronts, case studies, and product links are all on one domain. No hiding behind a marketing agency site.
