Many of us are set in our ways and will only use one method to list. I have used the eBay app this year as my primary way to list (or create drafts) and I must say it will save you time. In this video i go through the process on a couple of items to show you how simple it is to list on the eBay app. As always comment down below…

Ok guys a few things here. I offer this as a way that is 100% faster than any listing process on the computer (pc or mac) for the simple fact there is no faster way to add photos to your listing than taking them directly through the app itself. This in itself will speed up the listing process tremendously. Additionally, once you get the hang of the app you will see for yourself why I changed from only listing on the computer (I have a high end PC) to listing only with the app on the phone. Give it a shot, try it one day and give it a chance. You can always go back to the old way. Secondly, I do know it is "sole" and not "soul" lol. Unfortunately, the phone's dictation put soul in the wrong context however for the most part this feature is very useful and is much faster than typing it in yourself. As always, thank you for watching the video and supporting the channel. I hope you find this video helpful. - Flippin Aint Easy

But Jon.........I like Clean Souls In my shoes lol

[@No1Design_]

Hey Jon Great Topic! I can See The Benefit Listing with the Phone. I say this Is Faster when you have Inventory with hundreds or thousands of Item UPCs Because It Is Nearly Impossible to Create Templates for that many Items Variance. But For Resellers who only Deals with just a hand full of Item Variance The PC is still faster. Take Shoes For an example and You Only Sell in Mens Shoes You can Have about 3 or 4 Templates with all the General Item Specifics Filled out (about 90 to 95%) and also have the Descriptions Template Out as well. Now That Is just 1 template just for shoes so if you sell boots, sneakers and slippers you will have 4 templates so when you go out and buy inventory and you get a mix of boots shoes sneakers and slippers your Listing is very quick. In my early years of reselling I thought, Like Everyone else the listing was the pain in the ass but what I've learned it is not the listing it is the prep & photos that is the pain in the ass there are ways to streamline the process but that takes man power and an assembly line need to be put in place. So when I realized this early on I focused On This instead of Listing and I tell You Pumping out 200 listing per week is only a few hours process. This is possible because all the work had been streamlined in the back end. A lot of people think Turning a reselling hobby Into a business is a cake walk but they will soon learn, they all do later on when the growing pain presents itself. Some will have the foresight to catch it quick but 9.9 out of 10 will not and that is just reality not social media. Take My experience for what you will and good luck and If I can give one advice Listen to Jon or at least try and listen He Is on the right track. Seeya In the Next Live guys!

Holy Novel you wrote, lol.

@UCbQ4uZuVQHUE5o4DTe_n9BA holy novel you spoke lol

[@christinadarque8246]

Never knew about this way. Listing is my downfall, hence my big death pile. Thanks SO much! Gonna try this way out today. 🙂👍🏻

[@Stay1432skz]

Thank you, you helped me post my first listing just now 🙏

[@tanyacordes5916]

Thank you!

[@happyandjoyful7916]

Wonderful video John as always. Just a little tip…sole not soul for the bottom of the shoe. 😊 Thank you for sharing your valuable expertise!!! Great job!👏👏👏👏👏😊

[@FlippinAintEasy]

It is sole, however i was speaking into the phone and it dictated what I said as soul. These shoes did have some soul though. Thanks for watching.

[@Bawkr]

I don't think that it is faster. 1. Glass touch screen & less accurate typing (voice is inaccurate as well). 2. Slower smartphone compute power, slower wireless internet. 3. A lot of us who are stepping up our game from content like yours have a photo+ship station, heated inventory & a listing PC in the same room, so using a smartphone doesn't speed up the process. By making fun of us (members in live chat the other day) saying we are outdated is going to lead the new comers to believe it is actually faster when that isn't the case from what I have seen. We need to see a controlled timespan of 20 listed 20 sold on each & how good the quality of those listing is after that time is completed as well. My 02. Smartphone Advantages 1. Mobility. 2. Takes 5seconds less time because you don't have to plug in a usb cord per session. PC Advantages 1. Faster wired Internet upload speeds. 2. Compressed photos in a batch process that is repeatable. 3. Lots of fingers to type with, speeding up all click & button style actions & making them more precise. 4. If your phone is your modem or entertainment then your phone will be freed up, phone not in use during listing. 5. Way faster compute power. 6. Tons of resources available to you & a lot less clunky to setup on a desktop. You can defend the smartphone all you want but there are other ways to list and I don't think that they are as slow as you think that they are, all depends on your setup & skill with that setup. Let me put it this way; Why is it that Xbox players complain about people who use a PC mouse? Accuracy.

[@FlippinAintEasy]

I don’t recall making fun of anyone on the livestream by the way. You keep mentioning that and if you have distain for the host then I’m confused why you waste your time with the content. The reason for this video as with the other stuff i put out is not to indoctrinate anyone. It is to give ideas to sellers that may just want to learn a different way. Most sellers have different set ups and in my case i use my phone because my pc is in the office and my inventory is stored in the garage. In my case i want the inventory where i list and i have no interest in logging the inventory into my office to list. I can create listings or drafts and fix the listings on the pc in batches in i do choose. As for your remark about making fun, simply put and this is the truth, there are actually many sellers out there who are stuck on 2005 eBay who could benefit from allowing themselves to change and adapt to innovation. If this isn’t you, I’m not sure why you have allowed this to strike a nerve.

[@5797029]

Ebay has been slowly moving away from the computer version to the app. Most traffic (sales, messages, offers and listing) are performed on the app today. Our listings need to look good on the app where most reselling commerce is done. The only time I go to the computer is for maintenance like sales or bulk editing. It took me a couple of weeks to really adjust to the app. It was so much faster than than the desktop/laptop. My biggest time saver is the pictures are right there on the same device and they upload pretty fast, even without wifi. If you are a perfectionist and feel you need to go through extra steps, good luck sticking with the past. Some people won't even give it a try.

[@bobsr15]

OK Jon. I will try this on my next listing. Thanks.

[@FlippinAintEasy]

Give it a shot and while there is a small learning curve, once you get the hang of it, the listing process becomes much easier.

[@TheTommyBernhardPodcast]

Mens and Youth are one in the same..generally they use 7 as the cutoff before it turns to Mens at 7.5. Also having the size at the end is very bad for search. The search results are truncated for one so they can’t see size. Also the way people search is generally brand, model, gender, size, then whatever else you want to add.

[@biscuittbutt1]

So true, im a man but feel like a youth.

[@FlippinAintEasy]

Good info. Thanks.

[@MrFlippingHappy]

Thanks for video good one

[@christeneotoole3841]

Thank you for this video. I list using my I Phone and find it very convenient and easy to use. Sometimes, I would like easier access to the tools Ebay has developed. You provided a lot of helpful information which will help me speed up my listings. Thank you.

[@FlippinAintEasy]

I’m glad it was helpful to you.

[@rodzillarox4882]

Thanks for the video. I do a lot of things that you do as well. The one thing I’m trying to figure out is how to list faster and I’m guessing that taking the pictures first of everything and writing down the details on a notebook and then you can just throw it into the App on your phone. I do all my listings from my phone and it’s so much faster for me unless I have to bulk edit on my laptop. eBay has added backgrounds that you can select into your pictures and I love that. Question is doesn’t eBay only like the white background?

[@FlippinAintEasy]

The white background is more for Google Shopping and what they recommend which helps to drive external views back to ebay.

[@rodzillarox4882]

@@FlippinAintEasy thank you that’s very interesting. I never really thought of that but that makes sense.

[@5797029]

Yes Jon. The app is the only way for me. I usually take pictures of 5 items first. I sell a lot of really similar items so I use my own active or solds to make the new listing off of. No surprises using someone else's listing. I try to keep my listings a little generic overall. Minimum specifics. Sometimes I only need to change the brand, color, price and description. Then add the pics already on the phone. Done. I just did 8 listings in 35 minutes. Nothing fancy. Some pics were taken outside on my clean driveway and the others on my dining room floor while I was sitting on an office chair. I can list anywhere. In my dining room, living room, garage, outside, in my car, etc. We don't even need wifi. A decent cell signal can get it all done. I first saw this method watching Ryan Roots a couple of years ago. He was out sourcing and listed an item in the back of his vehicle immediately after buying it. This looks too simple. It works.

[@FlippinAintEasy]

I recently bought a hat at a yard sale and has time to kill and had it listed in less than 5 minutes (only because i used photoroom to remove the background before listing.

[@robbrundrett7510]

How do you get from google lens to your eBay account. Also for me my eBay app on my phone is different from the account I use on my computer.im thinking they should be the same.

[@shoppingfordeals7849]

I use both pc and iphone. I take pics of several items on iphone, then on pc I research and create listings then save as draft. After I go to ebay app on iphone and add pics then save as draft. I go back to my pc and edit pics, double check listing and list. I cannot just use the app because I hate writing the description I get lots of errors I have to correct I rather write everything on my pc.

[@boydmerriman]

Nice education on how to set up your product on ebay. BTW, the shoe does not have souls. They have soles. Auto correct didn't catch that one! ;-) I hope to start my business soon, but trying to learn as much as I can.

[@bobsr15]

OK Jon. I just tried it. Can't believe how quick it is sitting in my living room in my recliner. One question if you will. Yesterday I sent out a 20% markdown & have no best offers turned on for those items. I am getting ebay sending me eligible offers to response too. What do I do since I am at the lowest price on those items. Thanks in advance for you comment.

[@FlippinAintEasy]

That is a tough one. I like to give the lowest offer I can (5%) on items like those. Not because I think the buyer will jump at 5%, but moreso for the search boost the item receives when you send out offers.

[@bobsr15]

@@FlippinAintEasy Took your advice. Did 5% & I will be all right if they sell.

[@josephroccanova3748]

I sell on multiple platforms with List Perfectly. Would you recommend starting with eBay and them crosspost? Thank you.

[@FlippinAintEasy]

100% yes

[@No1Design_]

I dunno Jon But If a Buyer Wants a Shoe with a Dirty Soul (Sole) You Might Get a Return lol

[@FlippinAintEasy]

I think most of us have a dirty soul...

[@biscuittbutt1]

That might be the sole reason they actually bought it.

[@jonm4802]

I heard about this 24 photos but my app only let's me do 12. Do I need log out and back in maybe?

[@FlippinAintEasy]

Update the app by downloading the newest version.

[@jonm4802]

It's there now I looked. Didn't have update. Thanks

[@wandagreer9144]

The app spelled soul. It should be sole. Just to let you know... Thanks for the video.

[@FlippinAintEasy]

I saw that too.
