[@cayleyelaine]

Hey guys, just realized the typo in the spreadsheet. The 1137 was supposed to be in the shipping costs. Which also means my av item sale price on ebay should be $34.80. My bad!

[@gritandglam1815]

I can't imagine finding, listing, shipping 350+ items. Heroic.

[@adamframe309]

It would have to be listing 50 a day for 7 days... or 70 in 5 days to take a few days off. 😮

[@groovytemple]

Right?!? If I get ten listed that’s a really good day!

[@brandondeakins564]

When you have been in the game for awhile you can list 10+ an hour minimum, depending what the stuff is you can get to 20 an hour. So if you figure a 30-40 hour week you can do it

[@gladysanderson1351]

@@brandondeakins564wow I’m sure it takes practice!

[@brandondeakins564]

@gladysanderson1351 practice and a good work flow and work space. Having a proper photo setup where you can quickly go item to item to item with no slow down helps a ton. Get all your similar items, let's say jeans, prepped in a pile ready to photo. Photo all of them while putting them away in your inventory system at the same time, once through all of them, upload all pics to pc, then list based off the pics. Anyone who might need help figuring out a work flow is welcome to reach out, I'm happy to help/coach/teach etc

[@GGsunfortunateprofile]

Fun fact - if you find a Sunspel polo (riviera), “James Bond” is a good keyword because they were worn in the movies. Congrats on another record sales week.

[@cayleyelaine]

Thank you and thanks for the info!

[@ritawagner1380]

I have to THANK You sooooooooo much!! This is a complete numbers game..sell through rate is everything!! I did an experiment..bought only 3 items..one item sold full price..one item had a watcher within 24 hours..and factor stacking dresses..you are the best!!

[@cayleyelaine]

So good to hear!!

You continue to amaze me with your sales! Great job and love the sharing.

[@karenhancock8863]

Great video!! Thankyou for sharing! I’ve been experimenting a bit with style based stuffs and lost some money on a love tree jumper but at least I’m taking risks I guess! Great sales and can’t wait to hear about your promoted listings review coming up!

[@ResellingMeMe]

I think your promoted fees should be a subcategory of eBay fees.

[@cclovelacegrace]

I have to say you were always so dead on with your choices. Like the brands that you may have said before but we’re really worth mentioning! Like that DOEN top. I skipped the top section so many times and that reminds me that I shouldn’t Your tips are the best thanks for sharing!!

[@conniedutton2488]

Maybe give it its own category so you see the amount spent to get the results shown. That way it will show us the cost for that feature to produce your results.

[@charlottenewbie]

I see tons of LulaRoe. Never thought I'd see them mentioned here. Good to know about the jeans!

[@cassandramr6675]

🎉 great week and great teamwork! Thanks for sharing 🤗💕

Lol I just listed a Horney Toad dress this week, picked it up just because of the name. Fingers crossed for a quick flip

[@juliewells4282]

Wow! Congrats on another great week Cayley! 😊

[@cclovelacegrace]

I have a line item separately for promoted listings so you can really see what you spend each week on it.. Also I had no idea you weren’t doing promoted already. I have been doing this usually about half the recommended percentage and I have under 500 listings and with picking 90 days sell through items I sustain full time income!

[@libraryvoicesasmr4006]

Maybe keep the average item sale price and add an adjusted average sale price which includes the promotion fees. I think both figures are valuable and I can’t thank you enough for your work in sharing this and your detailed transparency. So insightful and inspirational.

[@WildCardTraders]

I look forward to hearing your data on promoted listings. I know when I search all kinds of weird stuff comes up so I feel like they would be showing ads to people that aren't actually searching for that item.

[@AnnePella]

Not me considering buying a bunch of No Boundaries clothes from Walmart tomorrow to store & sell in 20 years.... 😅 Crazy! Congrats on your success this week. Looking forward to your detailed video on promoted listings.

[@melin1974]

I also think you should have a sub group of ebay fees and put the promoted listing fees there on their own line. I am new to you and trying to figure out away to track my own, so im trying to understand your breakdown form. You have 115 for shipping fees and under that is an unlabeled number of 1137. Shipping has to be more than 115, so are the shipping fees 115 and 1137? And congratulations on doing so well!

[@cayleyelaine]

Woops! Just realized the typo. Thanks for pointing that out. The 1137 was supposed to be the shipping fees 😒

[@Teambem]

Awesome! Congratulations, what are promoting your closet at? I have it going at fluctuating but not over a percentage.

[@cayleyelaine]

Same. Video coming soon with all the details!

[@Amandahugginkizz]

Thats insane. 11k a month wld be life changing for me and my 6 kids about to be homeless.. man i wish i had more time

Sending positive wishes. I'm sorry you're struggling. I am in a similar situation, my kids are young adults, so it's me and my dogs, andI'ma senior citizen. Keep plugging along. Remember, your kids are watching how determined you are. You are setting a good example.

[@deborahhalcomb4562]

Congratulations on the record breaking sales. Question: I saw you in an interview on Becky Park's KZbin. You said that you prefer hanging clothes and no lights. My question is, How do you light your clothing for pictures.?

[@cayleyelaine]

I just use the room lighting. It's bright enough in my space to take decent pictures. This may not be the case for everyone.

I have been doing this usually about half the recommended percentage and I have under 500 listings and with picking 90 days sell through items I sustain full time income! Do you always have best offer turned on?

[@cayleyelaine]

I do not. I only turn it on after 90 days.

[@twinnish]

I think you should include the promoted listing fees in your overall eBay fees, but have a breakdown underneath average eBay fees in parentheses of how much the promoted listing fees were. At least until you get a really good handle on how much of a percentage of your profits that it is. I think it’s a separate line item that you should be aware of because it might at some point become less effective or something. I always wonder if when you turn that thing on if they’re giving you extra promotions to make you pop in algorithm and make you really loyal to the promoted listing fees. I hate to say that I’m eBay conspiracy theorist eBay has a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

[@darlapanabaker9349]

As far as the promoted listings--I would love to see what % of items sell as promoted. For example, if you have 200 EBay sales & 100 of them come from promoted listings, your promoted listings sales would be 50%.

[@cayleyelaine]

Details coming soon ✨️

[@SueBrading]

Great video as always. 2 questions first how do you tell so quickly when something is vintage? Secondly any suggestions where I can go to find comps on a Yamaha leather motoring jacket? I can’t find anything similar on line. I think it is valuable and don’t want to price it incorrectly. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

[@cayleyelaine]

I'm seeing comps on Yamaha leather jackets on ebay. I would just compare yours and try to figure out the range on the ones that are most similar to yours. As far as the tags go, you just learn it over time. There are also resources like the vintage fashion guild where you can date and study tags.

[@bartonfamily14]

Hi Cayley! Haven't watched all the video yet but maybe you did clarify...was the promoted listings on Ebay or Poshmark or both? I know you mentioned you were selling more on Ebay so I was assuming it was Ebay. I am always AMAZED at your sales and your videos and I learn so much! Thank YOU! =)

[@cayleyelaine]

Hi!!! Just on ebay right now.

[@bartonfamily14]

@@cayleyelaine Ok gtk. I do 2% sometimes but not with new listings. I usually wait to promote if they don’t sell but I don’t think it’s enough. How much are you doing? You have me rethinking this. I don’t think I’ll ever do it on Posh.

[@cayleyelaine]

@bartonfamily14 I'm almost at the end of my month experiment and plan on putting all the details in a video over the next couple of weeks. It's a lot to explain on here but it varies.

Love your breakdown on numbers! How many active listings do you have on Poshmark and EBay currently?

[@cayleyelaine]

Just under 8k right now.

[@katepfaff5559]

I think you should add it right with shipping cost so it doesn’t pull from items but the whole total

[@annaking9213]

Thank you for teaching us.

[@haugruds]

I’d like to see the promoted fees as a subcategory as well so you then are able to tell us “less than mathematically inclined “ how it affected your profit. Or is the profit in your chart already the profit after the promoted fees have been subtracted? Also, have you been able to see if how your items are showing on a page- like are they higher on the page after promotion or about the same? I’d be curious if promoting just drives more traffic your way or if promoting pushes the items to page 1 if they weren’t there before. Just some thoughts as I play around with this myself.❤

[@cayleyelaine]

I'll have to do some searching and see.

[@haugruds]

@@cayleyelaine thank you!

[@BlissfulDee]

In my spreadsheets, I separate out eBay's Promo Fees from FVF (Final Value Fees). It will make it very clear for you to do that, I think. So, IMHO, promo fees should be in their own line item.

[@nadalynlighthill978]

If you could explain some of the terms you’re using it would help us newbies a lot. Never heard factory stacking. Thanks! 😊

I find a lot of the vintage Talbots label that is beige and red, do they sell as well as new stuff? I have been having a hard time selling it

[@tamarkohnmarks5394]

Where do you source these brands? Also, would be nice to see what the cost was.

[@felsull]

Just a few tips: John Galliano is a couture designer. He made his name at Dior back in the day (known for the saddle bags, which are being reissued this year). The top you showed doesn't look like something he'd design (he's avant-garde, controversial)--maybe it's another brand? The Doen top is typical for their cotton basics. They have pointelle tops that come out every season in different colors. While they're known for their ethereal floral dresses and handknit sweaters, their basics are pretty basic. Hope that helps!

[@PilaradelaFontaine]

Yep, that was definitely not John Galliano.

[@Twinthriftsy]

What are you promoting at? I have always done 5%. People say 2% is plenty but my sales died at 2%. I believe in promoted!!

[@BrookDavis-gk1gu]

Do you buy most of your designer brands in wholesale or goodwill ?

Both. And the wholesale is still thrifted it's just someone else doing the thrifting.

[@brendabennett4829]

How many items do you have listed, what percentage did you promote

[@cayleyelaine]

Details coming soon! I promoted every single item in my store so I could get some good data to share with you.

[@BarbaraGregge]

I'm just curious if you have partners in your reseller business since you say "we" a lot in your videos. Also, since you have so many listings and gross an impressive amount each month, if you have multiple people sourcing product? Love your videos!

[@kristinblackburn]

She has a few employees and buys from wholesalers (I’ve watched a lot of her videos). 😊

[@cayleyelaine]

Yes, I have employees who help run the show so I can make these videos and run the Mentorship group.

[@HLB512]

I'm asking this before I even watch the video....I know you said about half of what you sell now is thru wholesale. Are you getting wholesale locally? I'm wondering if i should go that route also Lol at the plyometric jump shoes. I remember them in fitness magazines from the 90s Ive seen a lot of loft tops that are boho / cottage core and wondered whether I should pick up

[@cayleyelaine]

I have a couple of people who are in the same state as me but most of my wholesalers are out of state. It probably wouldn't make sense to get a wholesaler in the county you shop unless they would be going to places you don't source. I guess what I'm trying to say, is make sure you aren't getting a wholesaler that is going to the same store right before you go sourcing.

[@Toxin-FreeHome]

How many items do you all list per day?

[@cayleyelaine]

Currently, 40.

[@Toxin-FreeHome]

@@cayleyelaine awesome! Congratulations on the increased sales! ❤️

[@ktinx225]

i’m not sure that Galliano jacket is *John* Galliano 🤔 it doesn’t really look like his work and i don’t see that label anywhere connected to him - especially from that era (Which would prob be about late 80s early 90s). just a friendly fyi from a longtime vintage clothing specialist 😉

[@cayleyelaine]

Thanks! I will look into this.

[@Amandahugginkizz]

Not that good of rates lol. She sold over 200 items unless shes charging less then 1 dollar shipping per item....​@jenbrez70

[@cayleyelaine]

So shipping on poshmark is a wash because I don't see that money. On ebay, 1137/234 ends up being an average shipping cost of just under $5 per item. Most of our items ship out ground advantage. Which still seems slightly lower than it normally is 🤔 Maybe I had a bunch of sales on Fri or Saturday that didn't get shipped out until Monday so the shipping charges aren't included on the performance tab report? I'm not really sure, but that's what ebay is telling me. We'll see how this week looks coming up and if it includes higher shipping charges.

[@Amandahugginkizz]

1137 makes way more sense then 115 for shipping! Thanks :)
