What shipping method within USPS are you using to ship a Wii game for about $3.80? I believe first class with delivery confirmation costs me 5 or 6 bucks.

[@ObjoGaming]

Are you going through eBay shipping? They have discounted rates. I use first class and it's typically no more than $4 if I stay under one pound.

[@P-P-PRETTYRICKY9394]

@@ObjoGaming no but I will look into eBay shipping. Thanks!

Do you promote it on eBay like with ads or just list and wait?

[@ObjoGaming]

Most stuff I promote at 2% now. eBay has really made it hard to sell without promoting recently.

3:12 What happened to the top right shelf?

[@ObjoGaming]

I stopped recording and took a game off of the shelf so I could have an example for the smaller envelope.

Are there a lot of scammers? I have games to sell but no printer yet, is it worth it? I have some priority mail boxes i ordered for free but no shipping labels yet

[@ObjoGaming]

I've sold 1000+ items at this point and have seen almost no scamming as a seller. I set all of my listings to "no returns." If someone has a genuine problem I'll still give them a return, but if someone wants to try scamming I can default to not giving returns. The "no returns" typically scares someone off who is trying to scam. I'd say eBay is worth it if you have good stuff. It's not really worth it for lower end games (less than $15) and I'd be wary trying to sell high-end games on there, but if you consistently have stuff in the $20-$200 range to sell it will probably be worth your time.

Good info. Thanks!

What would you recommend to ship switch games? I have a ikaruga collectors edition I want to sell. It's not much bigger than the switch case, only an extra inch or less in width and height. So I don't want to damage it in shipping as I know people care about condition, so would one of the envelopes be fine? Or a small box?

[@ObjoGaming]

I would use a small box and wrap it in bubble wrap. People get pretty upset when cardboard boxes are shipped in envelopes because it usually crushes them.

[@Mingodough]

@@ObjoGaming Thank you :)

[@Netsurferz12]

Really great information, subbed! But I dont understand, im from scandinavia and I just listed My first item today, and when i check it it only ships to US.. Is that just standard or Will i be charged with a large shipping fee?

[@ObjoGaming]

That's weird, I'm not sure why it's like that. In my experience with international shipping on items that I offer free shipping on I pay the cost to ship it to the eBay international shipping center and the buyer pays the cost to ship it from there. I'd assume it's the same where you are as well. Thanks for subscribing!

Hi great video, how would you sell a loose 3ds/ds game?

[@ObjoGaming]

Thank you! I have a box of empty DS/3DS cases with no artworks that I saved from getting thrown out at GameStop back in the day, so I send them out in those. If you don't have anything like that I'm sure sticking a DS game in a small bubble mailer would work too.

[@nacure360]

Thanks for the vid! Question. If I sell a GameCube game, can the buyer play it with their own memory card? My progress in the game isn't stored in the disc right?

[@ObjoGaming]

No, there are no disc-based games that store save files. Those are all on the memory card or the hard drive.

[@Muzaffar-Ali4823]

I expect you to talk about "where to buy and sell" not about envelopes and shitty tapes. Video complete let down

[@cuhdee.]

Well that’s not the title of the video jackass, it says how too sell, not how too source games, it isn’t his fault you can’t read
