I hope you honestly know how much you are helping people. Im on this channel every day all day watching and re-watching trying to become better. I just started a week ago and only have sold 5 items but i think it would be 0 without your tips. Thank you!

[@dailyrefinement]

I'm so glad!

[@exploremilehigh303]

If you're just starting and you found him already, you're about to get rich so pay attention and do it right! Good Luck!

[@DadJuniorVideos]

@@exploremilehigh303 Im already finding myself trying to put stuff up to sell and thinking chris would think this was a waste of time because its not whats selling and it wont sell.

[@-a-s-a-s-]

Same. I have been watching these videos and other reseller videos for a while now and just got into it myself about a month ago. Currently sitting at almost $800 in sales after my first 30 days (about $500 of that being gross net with over 200% ROI). I know it's nothing special or huge, but I definitely would be doing a lot worse without all this help and information!

[@jeremyphysician4962]

Yes this channel is a no BS straight FLOOD of cheat codes for selling on Ebay! I LOVE how straight to the point his videos are! I still like other sellers on KZbin but I'm trying to get serious and scale my business as fast as possible. This channel isn't messing around! I'm blown away by how much he's willing to share and help. I feel like his apprentice!

[@22kcoop]

Only channel i dont have to change my playback to faster!!!!! This guy DOES NOT WASTE TIME!!! Not his and not yours…it’s actually still amazing to me

[@JabbaBlue]

Very generous blogger sharing all the pro tips of a reseller.

[@adhdflipper9066]

Haha, I’m so used to eBay selling that when you said you used ‘Velcro’ strips in my head I corrected you to ‘hook & loop’ strips . Automatic reaction lol

[@bearallison1633]

This is exactly what I've been wanting information on. I have a bad back and my current set up is very difficult for me. This looks much easier on the back. Thanks, Chris!

[@dailyrefinement]

You’re very welcome!

[@dailyrefinement]

Did you guys notice the new editing? What’s your opinion?

[@mocityprincess247]

Well done! I really enjoyed the editing on this one. It felt like an HGTV tutorial. Great transitions.

[@dailyrefinement]

@@mocityprincess247 Thank You!

[@kimburgmuller2617]

Yes, I like it. I come back to this video a lot. : )

[@Snarkapotamus]

Wow, that's very similar to what I've been doing for years. Difference is I use 4100K natural light LEDs instead of the 5500K daylights. Put a nice scrim on them and the lighting is about perfect. And instead of strips, I just use some clamp-on lights with 8" reflectors. Cheap, easy to move around and you can change colors simply by changing bulbs...

[@spenceroliver667]

Happy I asked the question in the livestream looking forward to this video. I’m sure my sales will increase with more professional photos. Mine are mediocre pictures at the moment.

[@dailyrefinement]

Thank You For Asking!

[@RB1TR4G3UR]

Nice ! That Foams gonna crack though , I would add something behind it to support it , or use a tack board... I have an art desk , that I can tilt at an angle it's nice ,,, an multi functional... I was watching a video of one guy had a material that grips it and it doesn't slide , I don't recall what it was exactly

[@Afishionado1]

This is brilliant all around, the magnetic lights in particular! A couple thoughts: First: I photograph against a white backdrop, but I always shoot with exposure bracketing turned on. When I push the shutter button, the camera takes three pictures: One with auto exposure, one with a brighter exposure, and one with a darker exposure. I am always able to just grab the one that looks best. Second: I have a power strip mounted with Velcro like that (not as part of a photo setup) and every month or so it falls off. Keep an eye on it!

[@dailyrefinement]

thanks for those tdeas

[@GooglyMcDoubleface]

very interesting.

[@shanewatkins1826]

You do a great job laying it all out. You are giving out the keys to success for anyone that wants to take your advice and run with it! Thanks for all your hard work!

[@GooglyMcDoubleface]

I honestly think the light piece is genius. Didn't think of that one.

[@divinesignatures6225]

I really liked this one. I'm getting my photo booth set up this weekend. I'm using a screen from a sliding door and covering it with white linen. I'll prop that against the patio wall raised up on bricks so I can get closer if I want to and the lighting is natural light filtered by outdoor curtain panels plus patio bulbs on a string.

[@nathaliecruz3211]

Chris, thank you for sharing your method of doing things! You are very good at explaining the reasons why something works or doesn’t work!

This is a great system. I can use it not just for Ebay, but just a product photography in general, and other stuff like my favorite painting, etc.

[@johndavis48076]

After this video I went to Facebook Marketplace and got a used 6x4x1.5 metal shelf system for $45. Nice to get that out of the way for cheap. Will pick up near New Years.

[@Tkyle5127]

Great information! I was unable to find the magnetic light strips, but I did purchase some other items. Thank you!

[@KneppwoodatHome]

Your setup is amazing (I'm kinda wishing we sold clothes), but we sell vintage nic-naks, dishes, jewelry, etc. I was inspired by your video however, so I did order a 5500K LED light and tripod so I can create an actual photo area in our house. The lighting in our house is more dungeon friendly than eBay listing friendly.

[@dailyrefinement]

Thank You!

[@MadisynAudette]

The rubber mat is ingenious, oh my gosh, duh! Thank you.

[@danpak1599]

[@dailyrefinement]

Thank You!

[@TheRedBanner]

If you have a Harbor Freight nearby, you can get a lot of things there on the cheap, and for basic tools you will use in reselling you don't need the expensive high quality stuff. You're not going to be using them like a mechanic or carpenter would. Harbor Freight is usually cheaper than getting Chinese knockoffs from Amazon.

[@dailyrefinement]

For some of the items, that would work.

[@cristifarbrown8429]

Great video, not only the content but the way you do your videos now with the animations etc. I noticed and it makes it that much better, love the improvements and keep it up 👍

You've definitely pointed me in the right direction. I'm pretty new to reselling. Just got a bigger climate control storage unit . I'm going cheap as possible. I'm thinking about going to restore buying a door and find a inexpensive gray rug 😂😂. Will maybe use bricks to keep the door in place when I tip it back. My wheels are definitely turning. Again thanks for this idea.

[@AskBibleNotes]

LOVE the new video format. The editing and videography is on point! Question: what do you think about stabilizing the foam board with plywood backing? Helpful, or not really?

[@dailyrefinement]

Might be useful, not necessary

[@blainemitchell]

I sell toys, video games and misc items. I have a table against the wall and use a roller window cover as my background. It's white and creates a infinity background, plus it's cheap. The lights are just 5500 led lights hung that I got at Home Depot.

[@ritvarsfreimanis]

ok, I'm starting this

[@Draintheswamp2024]

I use a tablecloth that would be hard to duplicate just in case you know how scammers can be. I have used 3 different ones I have used it also helps to date the items to.

[@nachostuff]

Love the set up - way easier than the mannequin I am using. I think it is time to change.

[@dbriareos6709]

It'd be cool if you could build your flat lay with 2 pieces, hinged in the middle so that you could bend it into an "L" in order to photograph shoes, hard goods, etc. with both a horizontal surface and a backdrop.

[@lorenagutierrez27]

Thank you! Excellent information

[@toddpedersen8606]

Thanks Chris you the man!

[@TannerBugatti]

Everything looks great but a little suggestion might be to put some 2x4’s behind the foam, if you accidentally lean against the foam too hard, you might snap it. Otherwise, great setup!

[@dailyrefinement]

Good point!

Have you had any problems with the 2 pieces of insulation staying together properly where they meet in the middle? Maybe one side bending lower than the other and when the fabric lays over it creating a shadow from the light? Thank you for the great videos and info you provide.

Hi, where can I buy the magnetic lights

[@risalf2]

What is the link for the lights?

[@beatricepineda5923]

Question… won’t that material leave ‘fuzz or lint on the clothes?

[@katrinamurray1001]

Thank you for the video 😊

[@mittenflippin]

Based on how old this video is I doubt this will get answered but do you ever need to change the backdrop color to accommodate the color of the object? Like in this case if you had a very similar color grey sweatpants for example, would you find a different backdrop? In a shop like yours with multiple photography stations it seems like it could be beneficial to have at least one station with a different color. I do think in general there is some merit to keeping the background consistent because I think repeat customers can begin to recognize the seller just based on the photos, if there is consistency.

[@dailyrefinement]

I don’t need to change it bc the grey acts as a grey card

[@mili1977]

Gracias...Thank you for the information!!!!

[@emusaurus]

Do you think that this set up would work with a 4ft wide shelving? I am lacking space and found a husky shelf that’s 48 in. W x 78 in. H x 24 in. D? I am a fan of the lighting and ease of the foam board backing.
