eBay's "Lighthouse" is Hitting Us Hard - Your Reselling Q&A

[@sfarmertoo]

first? Edit: Hands down the best Ebay youtuber out there. I rarely comment but I have been watching you since I started 2-3 years ago. My sales are typically about 800 a week net , and slowly dropped over last week and I did 100 Saturday and 50 Sunday ( which is terrible) . Did about 375 net for the week , which is my worst week in over a year. Hoping the lighthouse shines on me again soon ! Anyway, I appreciate the content my dude. Keep it coming!! I try to keep my head up during these periods and just tell myself that " it always comes back" .. and it does. I use the slower periods to get deathpile listings, phase super old stuff out of the store and , investigate other sourcing opportunities. God bless you John and Jenna - and thanks again for all the content .

Wow, thanks! I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching.

Lighthouse effect is exactly what I am hsaving right now in September. One day $350 in sales next day $47 in sales with consistent listing numbers. Our montly chart looks just like yours. We only hope eBay will get it togehter at some point. Thanks for your grat videos.

Thanks for your honesty, my sales have fallen off the cliff. I’m just a part-time seller eBay only. Hope things improve soon

This "Lighthouse" effect has always been! At least in my store.

[@heathermccary9776]

I've noticed that month after month that I've been topping out about $1300. Of course that includes shipping. I've had a couple days where I sell as many as six items. Most of the time it's between 1 and 3. It's just now picked up to that, I'd say in the last month. I have a little over 500 items in my store. I generally get my sourcing done through yard sales. I'm having a hard time finding higher valued items in quantity. I would love to be bringing in a reliable source of income. I'm praying that things change after the election.

I have definately noticed a cyclical pattern to my traffic - even when I list consistently. It's frustrating. Sales are slow. I am hoping they will pick up for 4th quarter.

[@StaceNyourFace]

Last week was a great week for me, but then I've only had one sale since Saturday. So weird.

[@Oldmaps-c6n]

Great stuff.

[@Yazzie101]

Very slow, dropped off yesterday . I see changes on the site! I don’t do free shipping because of returns! eBay sends out emails DO YOU NEED TO RETURN .. why do Grey do that! September is down 25% so far !

[@heathermccary9776]

I disagree about The Weeknd. I have had an amazing amount of weekends with absolutely no sales.

Lmao Jon, about your toilet seat returns, you now know what it's like to be a healthcare worker. At least once every couple weeks we had a patient come through the unit that couldn't fit in the MRI, would throw a temper tantrum and try to report everyone because they were so embarrassed by their own size.

[@ericenloe8967]

I think it's the same story for everyone on eBay. I am down 20%

[@heatherbrooks8918]

Mercari and Poshmark are both 80 characters now.

[@ayoryno3508]

All you did was brag all summer about your sales and now you’re not getting any and you complain lol karma is a bitch 😂

[@ayoryno3508]

Stay humble

[@FlippinAintEasy]

I think you weren’t really watching those videos. On this channel I report my journey good and bad. If you did watch my videos you should be able to recall the many times I said I didn’t want this to come off as bragging, I prefaced what I said with this many times because there are people out there who watch these videos and pick and choose what they want to hear so they can their shade at me later, much like what you are doing here. The only reason I share my numbers is twofold. First it brings credibility that I’m not some yahoo telling you about sales without first backing it up and secondly my goal is to motivate you guys to show you sales are possible despite all the issues on the platform. If you watched these videos all summer you would know that about me. Stay fair.

[@FlippinAintEasy]

And by the way I’m not complaining. It is what it is, we keep going regardless. Just showing the good and the bad.

[@Oldmaps-c6n]

There's always that one jealous kid. Yep that's you.

[@blaaa22awwwf]

@@FlippinAintEasy your fine buddy theres always gonna be trolls, it is ok to delete low quality comments because people who follow you know that you keep it real.

[@carlagraca6022]

You can order just a 'White' instead XD
