How to Make Consistent Ebay and Poshmark Sales

[@thetravellingpicker5096]

Lot of people think reselling is easy. They are wrong. It's hard work, takes dedication, and lots and lots of research and practice.

[@swaggyflips8559]

You should change this title to *what every beginner reseller needs to hear* because I wish I had heard a video like this when I first started out. Thank you as always for your words of wisdom 👏

[@tomperry9458]

If newbies will follow this procedures it will put them 2-3 years ahead in the learning curve. Thanks Caley!

[@Lotusflo90]

Sooo glad you made this video, when I'm not making sales I go over every listing and check my descriptions and I re-do my listings add keywords so important! and re-take photos! I dont pay for a VA, I share my own closet, I don't buy huge pallets and get ripped off! Stop listening to this big resellers that are mainly scamming the newer peeps, believe me I've bought many mystery boxes from big resellers and had so many flaws and expired products not worth it! Hand pick your own items and do your own research of what is selling, what are the trends, what are the expensive brands that you need to write down in your notes in your phone to keep for reference when your thrifting and check comps on eBay and posh to see if that item is even worth it, so many times I will have a full cart of items I think are cute and nice quality and nice brands, checked comps and put back most of them because the comps are not worth it! I've made alot of mistakes but now super picky about every piece I pick up and check for flaws also! Since I've been doing these things, I have noticed my sales have increased tremendously!

[@anamanaghan821]

Thank you for this advise I’m a new reseller🙏

[@crystalm986]

Cayley just spitting truth! Great video- you’re such a pro. I agree 100%.

[@experimentalspaz]

Great advice. I've sold on Posh for 7 years now, and I'm usually listening to a video such as this while I'm working. I have learned you have to take everything with a large grain of salt. What might not sell for others can very easily sell for someone else. Don't take what everyone says as Gospel! A lot of sellers just want to put out KZbin content so they say reiterate what others are saying, or give advice that isn't practical, but is easily sellable.

[@helainehoerning2200]

Great video! You are always practical and real.

[@lanagreen922]

Yes! At the risk of sounding stupid, I spent the first two years of reselling just buying something because it was cute and 50 cents, not researching brands or anything. Those items sat for forever and I ended up sending boxes and boxes to thredUP. I also was searching “Poshmark selling tips” on KZbin all the time.m, hoping there would be some new info that would finally help me. So glad you’ve made this video for new resellers who may be stuck in the same rut I was for so long!

[@cayleyelaine]

You don't sound stupid at all! I think a lot of us start out doing that.

[@ErikaHarman-x1x]

Two years later and this is so useful. Thank you!!

Once again practical sensible amazing content. Thank you!

[@nicoleallen1971]

I love that you sincerely care about people thank you you have helped me a lot

[@tommynseattle]

Preach it sister!! Sometimes we/people just need tough love. But.. These new sellers and some older peeps also need to realize clothing has a longer tail. I watch some resellers who are 6 figure sellers who have items that took a year or two to sale. Reselling is not a get rich quick scheme without good knowledge and foundation. Which is why we love you and your knowledge you give us weekly! ❤❤

[@Felicia824]

Smartest thing I've heard since I started resale biz. Thank you for getting me back on track in the right direction! ❤

I'm new to reselling & just recently found your channel. Thank you so much for all of the honesty & really great content. It's very much appreciated.

[@cayleyelaine]

Glad it's helpful!

[@EmzC-hs6sp]

Thank you so much Cayley for these practical advise. I appreciate the way you discuss the importance of each steps. I now realised how important sourcing is. I am now motivated to resume my reselling business. I hope you can discuss more on effective listing technique. Thank you!

[@Geo35868]

Dude I took the hard road!! Now I'm like why did I buy that!!!! but luckily my older stuff has sold little by little. I have been getting better at getting good items that actually sale fast. I don't regret it I take it as part of learning about my business. Goal is to have this as my only income and make more then I ever had working at a 9 to 5 💪💯

[@reseller_rescue]

Fantastic video. Bad sourcing sinks so many resellers. I disagree with those who keep saying "buy what you like". I buy only what comps well. I leave behind tons of "cute" items but my sells are consistent.

[@susana.1612]

Excellent and smart advice! This is why I follow you because you are a real and experienced reseller that I trust.

[@theresakralik1820]

Good message! Might I add that the biggest obstacles to overcome is "pre-conceived notions." So many people are unwilling to hear the message. I sell hard/home goods as well as jewelry and clothing and I don't get to choose if something is good and therefore sellable and hopefully valuable. As resellers, we don't create the market and set market value. Previous sales (recent comps) dictate the price an will sell at. So many people disregard reality. Certain items and fashions have ran their course and are nolonger relevant and desired. So many people get wrapped up in the psychology of a sale and think something is worth a certain amount just because it use to be good or simply because it is old or cost a certain amount when new. If an item isn't selling them most likely the price is too high. If you only have a 20% sell through rate then most likely your prices are too high. (Exception: prelist seasonal and waiting for that season). Pricing is key to getting sales. Get it listed and at a reasonable price and it will sell!!!! Like you said...regardless of all else.

[@happygirlgooch1589]

Thank you for this content, I am so shocked at the number of people saying do this, do that, for some reason lately just one reseller saying buy this tool. I try to get good product, good picture, list at least a couple of thing in draft at night to list the next day. I feel like their are too many resellers wanting you to spend $200 on a manuel how to resell but when they did it they started from zero. I appreciate your honesty about reselling and tips without it costing extra.

[@nancycrane7584]

Thank you! That puts me more at ease. I keep puttimg off listing thinking that I have to keep purchasing more tools that cost money before I even start.

[@scottsueretterath7796]

Amen girl, with promoted listing and all the cross posting and sharing apps you could spend all of your money on that

[@newtoyouclothingshoes]

Thank you for putting out some honest content! So many of us put the cart before the horse! We love the idea of having all these things because it's shown on youtube and social media as something those who are successful do and have. 100% back it on up and start with the basics!

[@KristaSakata]

Thank you for sharing this information as it was very encouraging. I was happy to hear that I have been doing most of what you recommended. I know now where I need to tweak things to make my reselling business more profitable. I have really appreciated your videos and I look forward to watching more. Thanks again!!

[@cayleyelaine]

You are so welcome!

[@minervapina3850]

Hello Cayley: Just came across your channel and love your content. Informative and straight to the point. I an a newbie and appreciate your input. Still working on all 6 points to keep my business organized upfront before moving forward and growing. Thanks again. Minnie

[@lovinglifefreely]

Love this, I have struggled with this and since the new year, revamping again. I'm actually going to take lots of old inventory to BST & if they don't want it do a big garage sale this spring to flush a lot of bad inventory, garage sales are huge in my area, then take that money and reinvest in better items.

[@CindyKilleffer]

what is BST? Thank you!

[@lovinglifefreely]

@@CindyKilleffer Buy Sell Trade BST are stores where you can take your clothes in based on the stores criteria you can sell your items to them. Then you can either take the cash they give you for your items and buy things they have for sale or use that money elsewhere. Hope this helps. :)

Yes yes yes.... this is why you are one of my faves. This is what people need to hear. Not to go buy a pallet of quicklotz and pay for a VA. Good items trumps all.

Thanks God I have lots of experience selling on eBay more than 20 years and I was out of ebay and I just stared again and I have sells every day I go to be a power seller again.

Thank you Cayley for such an informative video. I've always known that content is the most important thing, and I need to sharpen my choices on what I need to buy. Thanks again for your wise info.

[@ericacasey2547]

It seems to me that there are a lot of people who think this is an easy way to make a living. They are looking to make it easy and automated. One has to put in the work to be successful. Period.

[@J104090]

Great video! I completely agree with everything. I think sometimes people look for a magic fix to replace having to do the real actual work.....

[@annabelturkowitsch4251]

Thank you Cayley! Just came across the video! Great refresher course! Been online reselling for nearly a year....I have room for improvement, and am following your advice, am learning as I build my business!🌺

[@lilliekat4U]

Great Video and oh sooo correct! My problem is I need to get familiar with Poshmark and cross list... Not sure why I keep dragging my feet!!!

[@fashionmews6886]

Spot ON! Why is it so hard to just dump the boat-anchor inventory when I know its dragging me down?! Note to self: Pull the damn trigger!

[@dneal5685]

I needed to hear this! I am new and need to make money to make ends meet! I did not put tags or seo in my listings. Not sure what those need to be?! Finally sold my Mama’s top for $9.00 and net $4.55. I have been buying more popular items to sell but don’t see really good brands people have on their bolo! What is my next steps?! Tia

[@cayleyelaine]

Not sure what thrift stores in your area are like but I have to travel an hour away to get to a good area to find decent stuff. If you have a goodwill outlet or bins near you, I'd start there. It's a good way to get items for cheap when you start out.

[@dneal5685]

@@cayleyelaine I live 20 miles from Atlanta. May need to find a good area there. Never see Patagonia or other sure sellers where I live.

[@lisachristinaconfirmed5067]

Great advice Cayley. What exactly would you define as consistent sells ? I’m new.

[@cayleyelaine]

Could be different for each person but I'd say about the same # of items you list every week should be about the same # of packages you sell each week. That would be the goal. For me consistent sales means sales every day. But I also list every day.

[@melisaverch4652]

Great advice as usual Sometimes we become overwhelmed and just go get a bowl of ice cream and turn on Netflix...... You inspire that it can be done!

[@cayleyelaine]

I could never discount the effectiveness of ice cream and Netflix though.

[@missybekind5022]

I haven't watched all of your video yet, however I know a KZbin r that has lots of followers, & she has a 10x markup and she still sells. I believe first off it's your followers..

[@cayleyelaine]

I'm not sure who you are referring to. 🤔 Are you saying she marks everything up 10x more than retail? If she is able to do that, good for her! Unfortunately that isn't attainable for most resellers.

[@CarlottaART]

Excellent Cayley. Thank you!!!

[@miss.nicole6342]

Hi Caley. I recently listed Madewell Heather Scarlet Wrap Pullover $35. Solds: 26 & availables: 9. Average solds $20 to $50. But last pullover sold in January. Wondering do I need to consider the time the item last sold as part of my Sale Trough Rate? Thanks for you videos.

[@cayleyelaine]

Hi! People calculate str in many different ways. Ebay solds only include the last 90 days of sales. I personally just gauge whether the solds overall # is about the same or more than the available. In my opinion, that sounds like a great str! And I list regardless of season. Hope this helps!

Does posh mark have new clothes and does it come in a 2x I looked and it only had xl like every one is the same size?!

[@cayleyelaine]

You can find both new items and pre-owned items on Poshmark. There are tons of sizes. I'd check your settings to make sure you aren't filtered to just be seeing one size.

Sourcing is hard where I live.

[@cayleyelaine]

Us too. We have to drive at least an hour (one way) to get to a good area of thrift stores.

[@fortunazee]

@@cayleyelaine I've been trying to buy locally from Facebook with sellers that offer bundles, I've had mixed results, but I have a lot of good stuff too, I also have tried Thredup but again with mixed results but again I've got some great stuff but sometimes the stuff has too much damage or needs repairs and a few things weren't even for women, a beautiful perfect black angora sweater that turned out to be a men's, and a pair of Lucky Brand camouflage cargo pants sz 12 but they turned out to be a boy's sz 12.
