It's interesting to see how different sellers approach listing items. Thanks for taking the time to show us your way of doing things. (I like adding weight to the listing of heavy things to try to help buyers better understand why the shipping cost might be higher, too.)

[@carmensusi837]

NICE haircut Lonnie look like a new person. Thank you both for all you do and teach us 😊

[@shedflips]

Thank you too!

[@Doing_It_Wrong]

I used to be in the "vintage first" camp but switched to the "first five important words" camp after looking at a few of my listings on the phone and realizing it cuts off half the title as you're scrolling through.

[@shedflips]

Good to know!

[@JuneFaramore]

This was really interesting. Would love a tutorial on how to set up a store.

Great video with good information! I do pre-pack all my items but I keep my listings under 200. I don't seal up my package until it's sold. I like the convenience of it. I can get it to the post office pretty fast since I'm only a block away. If I had more inventory, I probably wouldn't pre-pack. Like your haircut, Lonnie!

[@paulmike1965]

Such a great video and help. I didn't know you could change the promoted fee charge. I put my new listings to 2.1% , But How do I change the ones I already have promoted? And so many thanks for the shipping, lesson on knowing the weight and not packaging Immediately before listing. I am a small reseller and pack all my stuff before listing, and will continue for now, but it baffled me how you all didn't pack first. Thanks again.

[@shedflips]

You should be able to edit or bulk edit to change it.

[@paulmike1965]

@@shedflips Thanks, I finally figured it out. To change percent of promoted listing. - click, edit promoted listing, stop listing, edit promoted listing. It takes you back to the Listing page. Click on edit promoted listing again, click fixed rate, set to 2.1% and click promote. Then refresh your listing page for the new percentage. 😎👍

I’m learning so much from you guys! BTW, I’m sorta-local. I’m just dabbling with this right now, because I’m still working full-time. Hopefully this will work out as a retirement gig.

[@AntiquesAndProfits]

Great video! People complain about people telling others how to sell on Ebay. I personally feel you guys do a great and necessary service. I don't care how many people sell on ebay but rather that they do it right leaving the eBay buyer with a good experience. I feel channels like yours do just that by teaching both new and experienced how to do it right. Keep up the great videos and a BIG thanks!

[@frankjennings7408]

Lonnie went to get a hair cut? It’s a miracle

[@thumbthump]

I've been selling hats on ebay for 10 years. That Bacardi hat, I would be surprised if you can get more than $12 plus shipping.

[@MadJunkman7936]

Wow definitely a fact filled video. Only my opinion but Your explanation of all the steps, and there were many, would deter some. Simpler the better… again 27+ PT on eBay..again only my opinion. Your videos are a steady watch for me. Enjoy your down to earth way of presenting. Thanks

[@shedflips]

We weighed that option. Because there are already a ton of videos simplifying the process, we wanted to be different and really explain it.

[@MadJunkman7936]

Your way was very thorough. I guess being an old guy I am always looking for simple. Keep up the excellent fun and informative videos .

[@Doing_It_Wrong]

For flaws, if it's not obvious, I'll go into a photo editor and draw a little red circle with an arrow. It saves having to put yourself or some other foreign object in a picture.

[@cavyart]

For measurements I just take one or more of the pictures with it next to the Ruler showing the measurement.

[@pamellastimelesstreasures4071]

Are you adding a video with the pictures on eBay if needed or are you still putting in the description? What about videos on Poshmark? I can’t get them to work.

[@shedflips]

We usually insert it with our photos. Lonnie does have another channel that we will sometimes put them on if it’s something he thinks is interesting.

[@oh.sc.pickers1648]

I see that you choose to pass your shipping discount to the customer. A couple things make me question how this would be a smart business decision for me. First is shipping supplies [boxes, poly bags, bubble wrap, paper, tape, shipping labels and so on] and second eBay fees that charge the same % on shipping 13 to 20ish percent of the cost of shipping added. If the shipping you charge a customer is 10.00 and you promote at 7% including the eBay fees would cost 2.00. All of this is a question not necessarily a statement. Just looking for clarification as to why it would be best for me to discount the shipping like you guys do.

[@yvonnegravatt5152]

Love your channel and helping us through the journey;) Thank you guys you are Amazing;)

Lots of insights here.. nice work.. I helped my son create his first listing the other day.. since he doesn't have a store it doesn't look like this and no terapeak either..

[@stefan8303]

Hi Candice and Lonnie. I've been selling for a few years part time on ebay. One thing I've never tried is listing an item in more than one category. Sometimes I have an item that has no obv category. I know there's an extra insertion fee but wondering if this is something you've ever tried/experimented with?

[@shedflips]

No. Honestly don’t thinks it worth it.

[@stefan8303]

[@Atrocious1]

I must know where you got that white chair! What brand is it and is it adjustable up and down? 😂

[@shedflips]

Love the effort to not use contractions. 😁 Speak how you want to Lonnie. I started out selling a lot of ceramic pieces so disclosing flaws has become second nature, since they always seem to have something. So that gave me a good habit.

[@tamiebay2645]

Hi Great teaching video, I’ve been selling for 4 years & learned a couple new things. Something I started doing similar to listing at say $10.99 (since I have been stopping listings & selling similar to boost sales) is to list the item at $10.93 to denote the original listing was in 2023 or $10.92 to show original listing was in 2022.

[@shedflips]

Love that!

Full description

[@craigwinans1948]

I'm pretty sure that if you change or add more pictures that it will not register as a listing the same thing twice. The pictures have codes that identify if they are the same or not.

[@shedflips]

I’ve hear that also. It also alerts us when pulling an item that there may be duplicates.

[@mysterydivadivers6166]

Question - when you are passing on the commercial shipping rates to the buyer as you said your store does -Aren't you then losing money since you are paying E-Bay Selling fees on shipping amount ????

[@shedflips]

We are paying more in fees.

I, too, like the haircut and the trimmed shave. I also realize when you're busy, it's hard to stop and get a haircut, but it's pleasant to see a nice trimmed look. First thing I check is Candace's hair color. Love whatever she chooses. Wish I was that brave.🥰. 🙋‍♀️ Greetings from SW KS.

[@dwc917]

I'm a little confused. I knew Volume Pricing worked for multi-quantity listings, but I thought I had read where it also worked 'store-wide". IE: If someone buys 3 different items, then the appropriate discount would apply to each item. Did I mis-read something? Thanks again for all the hints, tips and tricks.

[@shedflips]

You can set it up in your promotions. Or set it up for multi-quantity items. There is also an option for a shipping discount for any items you choose for it to affect. I hope that makes sense.

[@leadbeltemporium6702]

I don’t know…I think the last thing we should be doing is encouraging even more people to become resellers. For some reason KZbinrs think the basic economic principle of supply and demand doesn’t apply to them.

[@shedflips]

If someone has found our videos they are already looking for the info they need. Reselling is not a foreign idea to them. Even as seasoned resellers we learn a lot from other resellers’ videos.

Check your math Lonnie. There's 16oz in a pound, not 12. So your squirrel figurines weigh 4lb 12oz not 5.2lbs
