10 Items 45 mins (Customer Service Ship List Photo) (Daily Refinement 1 Hour eBay Poshmark Method)

[@dailyrefinement]

If you do $5 profit an item, it’s around $25/hr, I think it’s possible to average $20 profit per item if your business is 30 items or less, that’d be $100/hr, but it caps out bc you can’t find more than 210 $20+ profit items and list them each week. That’s why I consider $20+ profit a “grail,” bc it’s very difficult to actually order grails online without going out and finding that treasure yourself. This is based on an average of 6 minutes per item, in this video, it only takes me 4 minutes, and 3 minutes is the absolute fastest @technsports. That’s years of research right there, so smash the like button and subscribe and join our group. Thanks! Https://www.patreon.com/theresellerspodcast I’m assuming you can find 10 items an hour that are $5-$20 treasure hunting each week. The absolute top solo business imo is 30x$20 items, 7 days a week and it could be done in 90 minutes of processing daily and 20 hours of hunting each week. That’s $4200 profit a week and $140/hr in just 30 hours total a week of expert sourcing and processing. That’s the “easiest” model with the most money, just my 2 cents. If you’re super lazy and don’t want to work very much, you’d just do @technsports model, work 3 months to make $52k and take 9 months off.

[@dailyrefinement]

This is what reselling looks like, it’s not that glamorous. It’s work, but if you learn how to do it, you can get it done quickly and get back to treasure hunting, which is what people like to do 😃

Holy shit… I’ve been watching every single video of yours for the past 2 months, including the morning call with others in your group. This video has connected all your processes and how to be the most optimal. As a college student that also has a part time job and wants to do eBay as a hobby (list 10 item/day) for years to come, this has shed a new light on staying consistent and being most efficient. I’m a business student and your channel is giving me a hands on look into the business world. Thank you for showing me this! I like that your purpose is not solely to earn money but to be a good husband and father. As a young man, that inspires me. Also, no need to reply, it just makes me feel good letting you know that you are making the world a better place

[@Rock_Bill_Kaa]

I have to give you a massive shout out! The systems you encourage people to follow are great, although I gain greater personal benefit from your attitude. That sets the stage every time for me to be productive - the right attitude. "I don't go to FB groups and whine about an eBay issue" just work around it, pause and move on or wait a few seconds! Great advice. I have stopped watching a major number of youtube ebayers simply because they complain all the time about ebay and it gets depressing, you on the other hand put the responsibility right back into our hands to succeed, thanks.

[@HB-zk7ms]

The KZbin folks that get on here and complain about eBay issues are not really in the resale business anymore. They’re now in the content/KZbin money business.

Thank you! I sold on eBay for 15 years, then stepped away. I’m back to selling and appreciate your frank assessment of what it takes and how to audit yourself. I’ve been binge watching (listening to) your videos while working my 9-5 job. You have saved me an amazing amount of time/money in just 2 weeks. ESPECIALLY when I flipped to the sequential inventory method. Huge thank yous and love from NJ.

[@bairfreedom]

Love this!! Edit: Thinking about this more, I just need to get everything in place. Right now I can't do this, but I have started getting things organized. Moving to the sequential inventory system, getting a vertical photo booth setup. I'm placing all my stations right next to each other. I've made a little over 1K profit in a month with only 80 items in my store and that money is paying for everything so far without touching my normal finances. It doesn't look like I'm going to need much of it to be in a good place. I'm working out of 2 locations as well so I'm working toward only working from the location away from my house. I'm going to go to bed earlier, get up earlier, work out, get into remote location, fulfill all orders, customer service, pictures, list my 10 items, done. and be disciplined enough not to touch it again till the next morning!!! I'm gonna drive myself crazy until I'm at that level. After ebay is done in the morning I work my work from home IT job and can focus just on that without getting distracted.

[@dailyrefinement]

Great to hear!

[@scrace89]

Excellent processes, but the process time does exclude procurement of items and item prep and sorting prior to photographing. I think one of the biggest take always is to have every step in the process set you up for success in the next step. Thanks for sharing.

[@sawcheryl]

I enjoyed this video! I’m about to go do 10 items and see where I get. I’d be perfectly fine with just photographing and listing 10 in an hour consistently. My customer service, picking and shipping is almost identical to yours (I ship in bulk). I’m longer doing photos though not much longer. I’ve never just taken 10 and listed 10 back to back. Let you know how it goes in the morning call today. Should be done before then. 😁

Incredibly useful and inspiring video! Your process is very similar to mine. The only thing I'd recommend is that you add an external monitor so you have two screens to work from - one for the photos, and one for the listing page. Putting the screen at eye level or slightly above eye level will help with your posture and reduce eye strain, as well. Thanks again for the inspiration 👍

So say you pull item 9578.. Could you not just remove the item from the bag you have it stored in with the number on the front and ship it in the poly mailer. Then reuse the 9578 bag for a newly listed item? Or would you not recommend that for any specific reason(s)?

I love your content it has helped me grow my store tremendously in the 6 months i have had one. I plan on joining the patreon here very soon as well! While i understand your point of listing from a computer with templates. I still would say phone is way faster i have used only my phone to list, respond to customers, and send offers i only use the computer for printing labels. I am at almost 1000 items and never have had the phone be slow or glitch i can do a full listing pictures and all within 1 min on my phone but maybe i am lucky i just like being able to take pictures and they go right into the listing, i feel like moving from phone to computer slows it down a lot. Should i look at using the computer as i scale? i have done over 60k gross already.

[@lepke1979]

Good stuff. After a hiatus of 2-3 months, I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things soon. Main concern I have with clothes are you seem to only do waist, inseam, and maybe outseam for pants. And maybe width/length for shirts/tops. Do you get a lot of questions in regards to sleeve lengths, pant rise, etc.? I might be overstressing things, but I will normally try to get most of the various measurements. But if I'm able to get away with less than that, I will definitely consider it.

[@WholeFoodSpark]

He does the rise. I sell a ton of jeans. I only get asked for hip occasionally…. Usually on rigid denim.

[@prosperousutensil8178]

Another detail about Chris' measurement process: in other videos I have seen him say he does the standard measures you see here, and if in the customer service portion of the video people ask for additional measurements, he replies politely, that he is unable to give additional measurements, but that he does accept returns for any reason so they can return if they do not fit.

[@lepke1979]

@@WholeFoodSpark Hmmm...Have been overkilling it I guess: Waist, hips, front/rear rise, thigh, inseam, outseam, and cuff for pants. Width, front/back length, collar if button type, sleeve, cuff, bottom, and maybe waist if a dress for tops. But if I can get away with less, will start doing that, heh.

When you list a pair of jeans for example, do you show the tag with the actual measurements as well or just your photos with the measurements, do you find a big difference in the measurements.

[@angelbabe1977]

Crazy story... I used to show the tag measurment until I went to a Tractor Supply and the cashier and I got into a conversation about jeans.. have no idea how, but... she used to work at one of the big name brand factories. She was telling me the reason jeans fit in different ways is because when they cut them it is a stack of material that the cutter does at one time. She said when the cutter comes down the material on top starts as a true fit and the bottom is always a slightly bigger fit. I am assuming this may be true for all materials whether jeans, shirts, etc. After that I started measuring and showing the measurement with the tape in photos.

Does that mean when you list you just go up to the next number instead of reusing numbers or is there a process where you keep track of which numbers are now used and re-use them?
