same , i have about 150 blocked , maybe more

[@BongoWongoOG]

These days we block almost anyone who asks a question. Sad & defeatist as that may seem, on balance we have only ever have difficulty with people who ask questions as they don't read, don't understand, say they ordered in error or are looking to troll you / pick a fight. Life is a lot simpler if you eliminate any opportunity for the trolls to get under your skin.

[@linitadudley1269]

one thing that sucks even with my resell business is when someone decided to leave negative feedback for something that they received and used, then eBay says its all on me.

[@Analog_money]

Oh yeah that’s annoying! Make sure you respond with the whole truth, your customers will see it and other sellers will see it. Over time less and less people will sell to them

[@qwertylesh]

@@Analog_money ebay business lied to you saying the buyer can revise feedback on their own. they can't, the site will tell the buyer to ask the seller to submit the form which is the only way to enable a buyer feedback revision. the only option the buyer has after the feedback is left is a "followup" which is just an additional text blurb, and leaves the original feedback as-is.

[@Analog_money]

Yea that is what I had to do, request revision

[@qwertylesh]

Not sure if its youtube being buggy or if my message filtered for some reason but I cant see my reply, I see your response to it though. If you really got a 'no' reply back, and it ended on them expecting you to believe that the buyer can DIY the revision, press ebay for business that the policy change and them saying no leaves no possibility of revision and insist they authorized your request.

[@Analog_money]

Yeah idk why sometimes KZbin does that I can definitely still see it on my end. But a lot of time on the video comments will disappear and it looks like I’m talking to no one 😂. But yeah they refused to help in anyway, their answer was “that’s how he felt during the transaction”. Idk

[@MikeHammersmithreselling]

Glad you're making some good money in the long run here. About inventory, one thing I found that helps manage space is anything I have to box, I won't pick up unless I can make 5x profit on. It keeps inventory of larger items down to just bangers, and makes the hassle of shipping actually worth it. My inventory decreased in size but increased in profitability, and my income didn't noticeably change.

[@Analog_money]

Awesome thanks and yes so I typically look for closer to 10x (sales price) especially on lots, but I can go down to about 3x-5x on stuff like smoke detectors, no cleaning no testing and sells through super easy! Thanks for watching!

New Sub here. Just found your channel tonight from your first vid in this lost job started flipping stuff series and watched them all so far. I am looking into getting back into flipping stuff, but am nervous to do eBay just because of all those hassles and difficult people you reveal. Anyway, Rarely do I binge a KZbinr solid in one sitting. But your personality is fun to watch and your video style is like how it was in old school beginning KZbin days when almost everyone was more real, not overly produced or scripted.. just real people uploading with their phones. I still like to make videos that way too so maybe that’s why I love your editing style. I saw some folks being stupidly critical of your style, like wth? Blows me away that people take time out of their lives to make ugly comments and go off on you for stupid crap. Like, if it’s not your flavor move on. Anyway your style rocks.. keep it up. I love the transparency and stream of internal dialogue you share out loud and how real you are. Also learning a ton while being genuinely entertained. Good stuff. Great personality and you are adorably handsome to boot. 😊 ( And You gave the best Better Help Ad I’ve ever seen. Laughed my butt off. ) Wow! My comment is long. Oops. 😅

[@jeffkogaoldvideos]

Turn on payment required for offers. Also put conditions for buyers. Algo throttles traffic. Might as well get the best traffic.

[@Analog_money]

I have require immediate payment on every listing, didn’t realize that was an option. Wait you’re saying those things help improve traffic or reduce?

[@jeffkogaoldvideos]

​@@Analog_money traffic is round robin (technical term is: round robin load balancing). It's a simple answer to a complex thing. Short answer is you get X amount of traffic. So if you don't have required payment or put tight criteria Eg No buyers with 2 non-payment in last 12 months. You'll get people who have non payment strikes. So if you only get lets say 1K impressions - and it will be blended. God speed.

[@Analog_money]

@jeffkogaoldvideos gotcha thank you! Yes I have the block buyers with x number of unpaids on. Thanks for watching and the tips!

[@UnconventionalMarketing]

I just had a terrible customer (and my first bad review) I've started doing consignment for people in my community (in addition to personally sourcing products) and I had a last minute change up prior to me having a good contract so I had to cancel an order. Refunded same day, gave full explanation, but nothing was going to make them happy! Wrote BUYERS BEWARE…. Thankfully I've already had multiple 5 star reviews so its not effecting my sales. Thanks for your videos! 🎉

[@Analog_money]

Yes so I’d highly highly advise against selling stuff for other people, I’ve put a ton of thought into it and is something I’d considered. But one of the biggest downsides is you’re not able to make decisions and as a seller that’s probably your number one advantage. Like if someone shoots me an offer I can say yes or no instantly, not have to ask, but they’re away on vacation, and they’ll call me when they have a chance. Resale=asset business, consignment=service business. Idk just too much headache but if you like its all good. Thank you for watching!

[@UnconventionalMarketing]

@@Analog_money Thanks for your insights! This is something I have definitely considered, most of the clients I have tell me that I can price it how I see fit, and I also revised my contracts so that it clearly states that I sell the items based on market research and on its fair market value, which has already saved me from a headache from someone who thought their stuff was way more. It's been a way to build up the funds to reinvest into my own sourcing and reselling. Its been a learning experience to say the least when it comes to how to talk to, and deal with clients lol. I agree with you though, definitely not what I want to be the main part of my business. Appreciate ya, thanks man!

[@bricinkeele5109]

I got negative feedback when I canceled a buyers order, I think before they even paid. Even if they did pay, would of been 100% refunded. Ebay said that they had the right to be upset and leave a negative review because they were angry.

Sounds like an APO or FPO military address. The destination is usually to a US military installation on foreign soil. So it still needs custom paperwork since it travels to a foreign country on its way to the military installation. Prices to APO or FPO addresses fall under domestic pricing. If you were shipping just to the foreign country prices are usually twice as much, if not more.

Because you said that flash discount days don't really bring in much of a difference in purchases, and you want inventory moving. This is something that could be live all the time, and invites larger bundle orders.

[@Analog_money]

Oh yeah not exactly but you can use coupons in that way which is probably a better route. Good idea thanks for watching!

[@thefloridapicker]

This is one of the reasons I do not deal with a lot of electronics. Too many hassles and returns...

[@Analog_money]

Yeah definitely can be, but a lot of the vintage stuff is a pretty good customer base I’ve come to find

[@thefloridapicker]

@@Analog_money And I don't think you have quite as much competition from other resellers, which is definitely a good thing. I respect your hussle...

[@Analog_money]

Yes exactly thank you for watching and the support!

[@lexwaters909]

Great series so far! I’d update your profit calculation, though. It should be Income - Fees - Shipping - Refunds - Cost of the items you sold. Then, new inventory purchased should be a separate category. It’s investment into new product, not a loss!

[@Analog_money]

I get the last part but the rest of it nah, I don’t track sales before fees and not going to add anything else to my plate. Also it’s not relevant at all because you can’t control it. As far as the reinvestment into inventory yes but it much easier to comprehend money out vs money in. Thanks for watching

[@lexwaters909]

@@Analog_money yeah just show income like you currently have it (net of fees). Just saying that you can see your actual profit margin if at the end you subtract the cost of the products sold instead of new purchases. Either way keep up the good work

[@Analog_money]

Thank you, yes even for my own sake I don’t think I could do that because I buy stuff in lots so I don’t really have an individual COGS. For me I just am in the red on the entire lot until I recoup my investment and then I’m in the green after that. I look at the same way as if I was parting something out, I bought a whole car so I can’t determine how much of that was in the alternator vs the window switch. Hope that make’s sense Thank you for the support!

I'm a newer ebay seller. About 2 years. I don't sweat returns anymore they are less than 4% of my total sales. The only returns I fight are ones where someone returns the wrong item. I also insure my returns that are over $100 incase it's a scam and I get an empty box.

[@Analog_money]

Yeah man that’s what I was trying to do here lmao

[@gdejackmo]

@Analog_money your from new york? I'm from Jersey

[@Analog_money]

Nice!

[@gdejackmo]

I also got my ebay account to just auto accept returns so I don't get mad. I just get an email that they've accept the return on my behalf. Because all they have to say is item is not as described which is BS but those cases can't he used against your seller performance.

[@Analog_money]

Yeah I get that, although I found you get a ton of remorse returns that way unfortunately

[@ShaneUrbas]

One thing I'm struggling with is getting people to leave feedback. They dont leave me any.

[@Analog_money]

Oh wow, I don’t specifically i probably only get like 10% to leave feedback but I always leave feedback for them right away so that might help idk

[@ShaneUrbas]

@@Analog_money I give them feedback same day they pay. I dont feel so bad now knowing others also dont get steady feedback. I was thinking about putting notes or just messaging them but I dont want to sound desperate lol.

[@Analog_money]

@ShaneUrbas definitely don’t message them haha I had someone do that to me for the first time when I was about to leave a positive review (it was a Father’s Day gift so I hadn’t even opened it yet) it made me feel like not leaving it at all. Kinda like asking for a tip idk

[@cmullenmusic]

Great video 👍

[@Analog_money]

Thank you for watching!

[@markm0000]

You need shelves man. I wouldn’t get a storage unit.

[@Analog_money]

I have a storage unit and my house is still full haha

[@jaro6985]

@@Analog_money floor to ceiling shelving warehouse style, you don't need space to live or sleep dont worry.

[@Analog_money]

Haha yeah true! Not like the $150 a month isn’t 100% tax deductible

[@Battledrone]

Narrow down on your products, it will make things a lot easier.

[@Analog_money]

Yeah you’re 1000% correct, but it’s cool trying out a bunch of different stuff for the video to see how it goes, rather than sticking to one niche. Thanks for watching!

[@rslr]

Are there any Amazon Liquidation Centers near you? Or recovered salvage outlets? There's a few places near me that specialize in selling returned Amazon goods ... a former co-worker gets a decent /reoccurring stream of items to list from these places. IDK ... maybe be something of use to you. (also leaving a comment for the sake of engagement - keep on keepin' on)

[@Analog_money]

Thanks for that! So idk about locally but I’ve bought some from online. I atleast haven’t found any locally unfortunately!

[@rslr]

@@Analog_money Right on ... best of luck on your march to 50k subs ... and then 100k subs. I'd be interested in seeing your YT 'profits' at each milestone. Genuinely interested in the behind-the-scenes details on your channel.

[@Analog_money]

@rslr haha thank you! My Adsense is fairly consistent like 1500-3000 per month but unfortunately sponsorships I can’t really discuss because in the contract they don’t allow you to. Either way I appreciate you watching!

[@rslr]

@@Analog_money Thank you! Yeah ... was mostly curious at what YT revenue was like (not considering the above/beyond sponsorship rev given that they can be hit/miss). Anyway, thanks again.

[@Analog_money]

@rslr for sure thanks for watching!

[@DavidJung03]

Am I missing some videos or are we able to see a bit more of your item sourcing process? Is it mostly marketplace buys?

[@Analog_money]

Yeah you’re missing videos haha
