I can’t stand AI descriptions as a buyer. Waste of time reading through irrelevant info. And sometimes sellers will throw in something very important about the condition of the item within the AI description.

[@ianmarsden8568]

I agree. And don't forget the majority of sales are via the App, Who is going to read the blurb?

[@findsanddeals]

I agree. I've seen enough issues with the AI descriptions that now if I have the choice between buying an item where the seller wrote the description & the same item in a similar looking condition where an AI description was used, I choose to buy from the buyer who wrote the description themselves.

[@UmJammerSammie]

I made sure to save my favorite eBay AI created description: “The pin features a fun and unique design that showcases the iconic Wal-Mart logo. It's a great way to show off your love for Wal-Mart without breaking the law” 😂 happy fourth!

[@judithspencer9345]

Loved the "Grey Poupon" reference!!

[@cliffbone3430]

the first paragraph seems to be ok on AI description i always delete the 2nd paragraph as its always garbage great video as always

[@gonuts1]

I think Lonnie wants to keep the Nikon. lol

[@majorlurker8306]

Candace giving Lonnie shade is always fun to watch :) (she is so cute, I love her sense of humour (yours too Lonnie!). Thanks for brightening my day a little. As fo AI, don't / won't use it, too much fluff for my liking.

[@pamelaroberts-aue7984]

No AI are just Canned descriptions and besides who spends time reading them. Folks barely read descriptions as it is. We still live in a "hurry up and get it" society.

[@reneemaxwell6014]

Have you thought about installing a mini split in the shed? Then you will have heat and air. They are efficient.

[@brianhenry2385]

Jimmy Buffet Hat: That segment made me laugh. Oh, yes definitely a kid's hat. Big market out there for kid's getting wasted on Margaritas, while listening to Jimmy. You might want to leave "kids" out of that listing. Enjoyed the video and it's good to leave your viewers laughing. 😉

[@Panzer-xi5uj]

98 Degrees 😮 Imagine no air conditioning 😮 And What a cracking kick starter game sale 👏👏👏

[@williamstearman9853]

Happy 4th, Y'all!

[@theresamoehlig5269]

LOVE your top Candice!!

[@beowulfcollectables]

In my opinion for A1. As a buyer, I hate it and as a seller I hate it more 😂

[@BalloonStringsAnne]

Adobe just DOUBLED the subscription cost for Photoshop, all because they added AI, which I will NEVER use. I don't appreciate it being pushed on us to use in any platform. Dumbing down of society, smh.

[@TamsASMR]

I just sold my Nikon Coolpix S3300 for $106!! You never know what something will sell for!! 🎉💖🌺

[@brianhenry2385]

Cooling System: we’re in the 90s this week in the Pacific Northwest, so I feel you, but I think if I worked in your shed I’d cut a hole the size of your A/C unit above your scale (under the bubble roles) and move it, even now. It would only take a couple hours and would be more efficient to cool the People Area, rather then the storage. Enclosing the ceiling would be better for your long term health, since your likely breathing fiberglass every day. Enclose it as a cathedral, so you don’t loose much of the storage. 😉

[@RegularFootisChris]

Grey Poupon is awesome! if you don't know - now you know!!

[@karengullickson4290]

I like A1 because I had a stroke and it's hard to type.

[@jabezcreed]

You can tell the AI descriptions, and none of them make me more likely to buy. They make me actually question if the details in the description are accurate or relevant.

[@brianhenry2385]

GI Joe Listing Errors: even though the process is similar, they should have used “injection molded” for the description for the plastic toy, since the Industry reserves “Die Cast” for molten metal poured into molds. Though to get folks to understand, I suppose it wouldn’t be too big a stretch to say “Die Cast Plastic”, if you thought die cast might be a commonly used search term. It would be like the figure you listed as a “ GI Joe Style Suit”. 😉

[@tinawiththelakeexchange2093]

I would not have used a pic of another camera as an example on the tiny Nikon, just an excuse to get a return! Just something to consider.

[@kezza138]

I thought the same thing.

[@williampeterson4416]

In reality we are all just 1099 employees w/o benefits of eBay.

[@kristirose2289]

Can you install a ceiling fan??

[@heathercox5801]

Great shirt Candace, for today 4th of July! You were right!

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Love hanging with you both. Big huggicates 😊!

[@DixiesBargains]

114 heat index ouch. Indiana about 104 heat index and i think im mealting 😂 i keep my house on 68 degrees i cant be hot when im working 😂

[@jessespoo9134]

Look into mini splits for the shed

[@shadetree1175]

I won’t use them. They are never accurate. You may as well as well leave it blank at this point. My description has 4 simple categories: Details Condition Shipping/Packaging Return Policy I keep it simple. each category is usually only 1 or 2 short sentences. I’ll may include longer descriptions for more expensive items, but otherwise it’s short and sweet!

[@bethschroeder2482]

So I said this to you on the video when you found that Title Town Brewing Shirt, but forgot to actually type the message. Lol. Yes Title Town is Green Bay. And in fact Resale Rabbit's acution company is called Title Town Auctions.

[@foureverfunky]

I might keep that! 😂😂😂

[@aslobos]

Lonnie and his Nikon 😘😊☺🥰💕

[@Vintagerous]

that roller thing is a label dispenser. I bought one but I regret it because it takes up too much space.

[@allantardiff4188]

I usually run the AI description and delete at least half of it. then I'll edit the rest and it comes out okay

[@gonuts1]

Grey Poupon

[@dirtisbetterthandiamonds]

I only will use the first paragraph of AI where it just repeats the item details. The 2nd paragraph is usually a bunch of nonsense fluff.

[@Thriftisfun54]

Why have you guys not gotten ceiling fan? They have led lighting so you won't lose lighting.

[@timb5173]

Good tips, I'm newer to selling on ebay, and have used the AI descriptions, but I always make sure to add anything regarding the condition and/or defects.

[@candybarr4262]

Happy 4th of July and may it be safe and Blessed

[@TRDOffRoad2020]

I use AI with my media, DVD, Blu-ray and movie sets. From my experience, AI pulls from what you put in the item description. Not in the subject listing. I've had to go back and change something in the item description for some reason and AI will change what I listed when before and reset to updated item description and its a total different AI description when I list. Now I always have a paragraph of my item in the description before the AI description for condition and other. Yes it is a little more work typing on my listing, but I would do that anyway. AI is extra for me and have had no issues. If listing a plush animal or something I would not use AI, not the way to go, you can only put so much in the item description for something like that. Stay cool guys and happy 4th 🙂

[@dkfaul01]

Cute little green fan. What’s the brand?

[@CaseyDLocker]

Why don't y'all install a mini split ac near the front?

[@BarabooTycoon]

AI has helped me list a lot faster. Recommended item specifics are what slows me down.

[@bettydarling2445]

I see many listings with descriptions as replications of the title followed by “See Photos for Details”.

[@user-mv8qy9sj9z]

Yes, I use the AI description as a baseline, and then I change what needs to be changed and corrected. Sometimes, I don't know what to say about something. AI helps some.

[@NickelNationCoinsMore]

👍

[@hexbless5365]

Please no. Every AI description sounds the same. As a lifelong eBay shop-a-holic, AI descriptions are not helpful. They provide zero new information. They give you lots of fluff and BS and it makes me think the seller didn't even look at the item. Everyone says they edit the descriptions, but as a shopper, it seems like most sellers who use AI make zero edits to the description at all. Huge turn off. Mark my words, soon other people will get AI fatigue too. I'd prefer a blank description over an AI. P.S. Yes, we shoppers do read the descriptions... most of the time... ;)

[@HotRockCollective]

It's the opposite of helpful. It's just word salad for buyers to have to dig through.

[@bniesen01]

I don’t use the AI descriptions

[@gobigrey9352]

Does anyone know how much Ebay compresses photo and video quality? Seems like it could potentially be a bad idea to try and showcase camera quality when the uploads are destroyed with compression. Just curious.

[@liamdesemple4245]

Is the description and title something that you might message the seller about and warn them about false advertising? Or do you usually just leave it be? If I was the one who made that kind of egregious mistake, I would want someone to tell me.

[@katepickrum6976]

AI wording is insulting to human intelligence. 😢😢😢

[@brianhenry2385]

AI Descriptions are still too full of errors and erroneous info that does not always apply. At best, it would be an Action Figure Accessory, rather then a fig. As for “Well Maintained”, that could just mean clean. If I’m spending that much time fixing an AI Description, I might as well type my own and avoid the fact checking hassle or potential INAD. 😉

[@williampeterson4416]

1st… happy 4th y’all

[@fredandmikethedogs7992]

Why not just swap the Lonnie bench with the shelving in front of the Ac and move those products to half the front

[@lqdinfo6200]

I use the Kamilla Harris AI word salad for my item descriptions, mixed in with dilution of Joe Biden...lol 😅😅😅😅😢😊 Have a great weekend! 😅 Joe Bee 🐝 from 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 Canada! 😂
