How I LIST Vintage on Etsy - Photographing, Etsy App with Tips

[@vidbox44]

Starting a draft on your phone app then finishing on your computer is brilliant! It eliminates the challenge of getting photos loaded between two devices. Thanks for sharing your very your efficient process! I found it very helpful.

[@kyrad6543]

Best tutorial I have seen for start-to-finish process. You are super detail-oriented in your pictures and descriptions which I really appreciate.

[@RealNiftyVintage]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

I have been selling on Etsy for almost 10 years now (since 2009!) and had no idea you could add multiple tags at the same time by separating them with a comma! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@RealNiftyVintage]

Oh yikes! Thanks for watching!

[@lisaliv2585]

Sane!! I've been selling vintage 7 years and that's a new on me. Love that tip!

[@judymarshall8695]

Wow I had no idea all the work that goes into posting all your items. God bless. My opinion of what you do for a living has changed dramatically!! ♥️💙❤️♥️💙❤️ Keep up the great work!!!!

[@Mystidragon1]

Thank you for the specifics on how to use the app. I love your videos and I just started following you on Instagram. You're fun to watch, keep making videos!

[@natalie8212]

Informative as well as entertaining! For some reason I always agonize about writing descriptions, trying to make them sound whimsical. It's not the old school days of eBay anymore lol. Speaking of which, do you sell exclusively on Etsy? I think I may have let some nice vintage items go for too little on eBay. Do you find that Etsy is better suited for vintage items, is what I was wondering. Again great video, thanks for the organization tips!

[@RealNiftyVintage]

Pictures speak louder than words on web listings. Take great *informative* photos and there is really little you need to write besides the *key words* that pull people onto the listing! I do really well on etsy, but I know others who have been on ebay for a long time struggle with it. There may be a slight difference in the *type* of vintage that sells better on etsy. I can't say, really. I post some non-vintage to ebay also but I really favor etsy on the whole. Thanks for watching!

[@campersonja7157]

I feel I may be having the same problem with listing on eBay and not getting the price I should. I set up my etsy but haven't list on it yet.

[@natalie8212]

@@RealNiftyVintage Thanks very much, once I get more settled in ( recently moved) I plan on reselling vintage and I think I'll give Etsy a shot. I've been collecting for many years and it's time to make a little money. Instead of just seeing something, knowing it's valuable, and leaving it there because it's not my exact taste. Been watching you, Mrs. Stone home, Scott's curiosity shop, etc... Seems like so much fun and you guys are really inspiring! Thanks again!

[@emcee2057]

[@RealNiftyVintage]

[@adalineproulx9773]

Very true about looking up prices and not assuming. Ive kicked myself before on varage when ive had 20 ppl interested and then go look it up only to see i gave it away uggg

[@annegregory3225]

Thank you so much for this video. I also sell on Etsy. Seeing how you list compared to how I list was so educational. I learned so much. Also love your photography.

[@RealNiftyVintage]

Glad I can help! Thanks for watching!

[@dianecostello1433]

Wow Jeffrey Great Video!! I have looked at others and I think this video is the best - lots of info. I think you missed your calling - you would have made a great teacher. Thanks

[@RealNiftyVintage]

Well the wonderful thing about KZbin is I can do a little bit of everything! Thanks for watching!

[@sylviajones4907]

Thank you for showing the steps you take in listing. Very informative.

[@heathermoore2152]

I do what you do but didn't realize that I could put multiple tags in the box, I've typed and added 1 at a time...so that will definitely save me time! Thank you!

[@glendafromaustralia1625]

Thanks for watching!

[@veryfrenchbydesignvintage6118]

Very helpful, thanks.

[@adalineproulx9773]

Cool point about using acronyms for seo in gettung more info when ppl search items. Id love a video on how you optimize search engine for your items and also using social media and getting your items noticed. Utube im sure has helped tremendously! Im using instagram.

[@RealNiftyVintage]

We will see! Thanks for watching!

[@roselinesylvestre2745]

Very educational, thank you for this video.

[@Chelefea]

Do you pre package them before weighing? Like once everything is packed?

[@vespermartini2556]

Very informative, thank you.

[@rvrn77]

Jeffrey, thank you so much for this video. It has shown some ways I have been trying to figure out. I create drafts on eBay like this and figured there has to be a way on Etsy. I have a question though. You did not enter the weight in on your listing before you published it. Is that not necessary because you use pirate ship and I do since you let us know about it in another video. The info on the tags and reasons why is the best I’ve come across from other sources and videos.

[@RealNiftyVintage]

I don't enter the weight or box size because I offer free shipping. Basically, I know around about the weight of what items are going to be and I tack a little on the price for the shipping. When I used to do calculated shipping, I would write the weight and box size that I think it's going to be on the paper with the dimensions. Thanks for watching!

[@rvrn77]

Thanks Jeffrey.

[@bellesparks4374]

Thank you:)! This was so helpful:)!!

[@harryvangrieken6950]

How do you handle the "production partner" section when listing? Lately, I keep getting blocked from adding my vintage items. It asks for a production partner but I have none?? Thank you. PS I have contacted Etsy through chat and by e-mail but no one has given me a straight answer. They keep referring me to their automated database.....???

[@adalineproulx9773]

Oh wow ty so much jeffrey for this vid ill probably watch it a few times. I get pretty overwhelmed. Last weekend i started to list for the first time and did ut thru the app but it kept asking me for a shipping profile. I was literally in tears and discouraged. I ended up listing from my ipad on the actual etsy website but taking pics from my ipad is so awkward. Im still learning the ropes. Still no sales but i only have 6 listings so far. Its trying to find the time to list between work and family. My dining room table is covered with items. Our house looks like an epie of hoarders 🤣🤣😂😄 A question....the measurements do you add a bit to them to account for your box and packing paper? I used to work in a post office so im just wondering if you add a bit so to be safe youre not knocked into another postage rate once you take the pkg to send off and its got a bit more dimension to it thx!

[@RealNiftyVintage]

the measurements listed are only of the actual item and they are for the customer so they know what size the item is. as far as box size you don't need to list that in your description you only need to know it in your head when determining the cost of shipping! Thanks for watching glad it is a help!

[@jennifergreely141]

I don’t know that “VTG” will come up in an SEO when a buyer searches the word vintage. As much as I hate using up space in my description for long words, I always avoid abbreviations that buyers may not know offhand.

[@heatherward7714]

What do you put for a production partner. My listing is telling me I have to add one because I chose the option of being made by another company or person. It’s a toy from a major manufacturer

[@RealNiftyVintage]

If it's listed as 'vintage' over 20 years old it shouldn't ask that...

[@adalineproulx9773]

Ive gotten lazy and need to put dimensions i do add a popcan but true it saves time and risk of loss of a sale.

[@RealNiftyVintage]

There's nothing wrong with doing it that way.. Maybe you can use a fake apple or a lemon for sizing. It looks a little more classy than a can. I've also laid a ruler down against the item and took a photo that way if I have a lot of oddly shaped items that I want to get through quickly! Thanks for watching!

[@adalineproulx9773]

Forgot to mention in relation to my app shipping profile comment what was frusterating was i did set up a profile so itd calculate postage but it wanted a new one. Also when i chose someone else made the product it asked me who. I just choose i did now.
