I think some Buyers use that as a tactic to vett you in as much as you physically have the item to snap additional pics. I shut that shit down real quick cause I don't need to "open up a line of communication" with somebody to sell something... ridiculous. Also, by you sending additional pics and answering mindless questions, some Buyers test the waters of your malleability for possibly trying to social engineer God knows what down the road.

I started selling on ebay 24 years ago. Your advice here is the BEST I have ever seen for new sellers. I had a friend get into ebay that I was coaching. Sure enough her buyer wanted a partial refund as the sweater had an undisclosed "spot". I told her, tell the buyer to return for a full refund. She sucked into the buyer's pressure and gave them 50% off. A week later her buyer had reposted the sweater that she had sold for $20, for $300......

In almost every video, I hear you state that an eBay description is unnecessary. I'd like to challenge that by stating that it's highly dependent upon what you're selling. As a seller of collectibles, buyers are looking to understand the condition of the item and if it meets their requirements. Over and over again, I see this in my reviews, so I know that buyers are reading my descriptions. I'd just exercise caution with being so adamant about not filling out the description, and rather, state that it's market-specific. If you're in the collectibles market, DO write an accurate description with the item defects, even the ones that can be considered manufacturing defects. Manufacturing defects don't decrease the value of the item, but they are important to buyers of collectibles.

I always read the description and that's just for buying books. I'm not looking for collectables or high-value books, but I want a description that states information that cannot be shown in photos. For example, if the pages are tanned, are they brittle etc. I refuse to buy from WOB and similar because the definition of a "Good" quality book is random - "some pencil markings" can mean a couple of notes in a margin, to major scribblings that make the text difficult to read.

I also do not offer partial refunds. I love the buyers who claim they've already thrown the item away because 'it looked/smelled/sounded so awful'. All I can do is shrug my shoulders and politely restate my store policy. I offer free postage returns so there really isn't a good reason for the buyer not to return the item. It is good to note that eBay does not like sellers to offer partial refunds either and when I've gotten bad feedback because I refused a to issue a refund without getting the item back, eBay has always removed it for me. And I block buyers who do this.

Good advice. Other than the camera nonsense. The quality of your camera and lighting greatly improves your pictures. eBay does not compress your photos noticeably. It only looks noticeable on pictures that were substandard to begin with. I use a dedicated dslr and professional strobes. And it makes a big difference. Using a decent cellphone is fine, but if you're going to set up a photo station and list multiple items, it's easier to use an actual camera. I usually shot 25 to 75 items at a time - 200 to 700 images. Using a cellphone for that would be painfully ridiculous. Selling similar is useful for amateurs if listing on the fly, but you're better off making templates and building your listings from those. I love it when I find listings that copied my listings including my inventory codes in the title. Also, the description... eBay might not emphasize it, but it will make a big difference if there are ever claims that the item was not as described. It's better to over describe than to rely on the intellect of your buyers.

I told him he needed to return the shirt within 30 days and I’d be happy to provide a refund. he never sent the shirt back to me, eBay closed the case based on the return window expiring, and now he is initiating a payment dispute with his bank about having to pay for the shirt. total scam artist. gives a bad name to all the great ebay buyers out there.

#1 is so true. I have had soooo many winning bid no- payments. And I'm glad you mentioned that Solds don't mean nothing. What I look at is how fast and how often it "sold" that gives me the demand. Example: If I see a widget is selling every day in a month. But if the last sale was 3-6 months ago....nope. I still use Auctions + BIN. Often the buyer will just BIN. You don't mention the Auctions + BIN. If they don't pay the auction, I give them a negative " buyer didn't pay" and they get a strike against them.

@phantommedic232819 күн бұрын
This is the other side of the coin. Quantity makes money too. Yes, you could make more doing buy it now, but I'll make more money selling more items for less than less items for more. Plus you can set a minimum starting bid to whatever you want so it's not a huge risk. Though I think you still pay a $0.25 fee or something for an auction even if it doesn't sell, so endlessly relisting auctions will add up too.

One nitpick: taking pictures while using the app. We find that the app crashes on us every 8 or so listings. And, uploading photos can be slow when using the app. What we've been doing instead, when we have large batches of similar items is to use the phone to take photos outside the app. Then, upload those photos in a single large batch to a free cloud service. Finally, on a desktop, we download the photos and marry the relevant ones to each draft. Using SKUs helps tremendously to match up photos with drafts.

Hi Justin, I love your videos. As background, I started with eBay in 2004. In 2006 I was a power seller. I was selling very customized items, I started out with a few samples and every order I sent detailed pictures to the client. I received their acceptance and final payment before shipping. Any new shape , size, or color I took those detailed pictures and made a new listing. I soon had hundreds of sample listings. They were just guides of what I could make, Every order was made to order. This worked well because of constant communication. Live changed and I closed the business. Forward to 2023, I decided to become a reseller... I used sell similar. I did a lot of research before choosing a listing. Yes there were some errors and misinformation but other than occasional aggravation due to rewriting or making corrections it worked and saved time.

Speaking of auctions vs. buy-it-now, I want your opinion on an eBay strategy I have been using for a while. I list an item maybe 10-20% above its value, and I periodically lower the cost of all listings by 5%. I figure that eventually, the price will be right and I can make the sale. This strategy is to ensure that I don't undervalue an item, but I wonder if this takes the item too long to sell, especially if I was wildly overestimating its value. Is quick turnarounds always better? How do you go about re-evaluating a price?

That depends on demand. If it is in high demand I'd say it's a good strategy. If not, keep the price at what you think it's worth. A buyer may only come around a couple times a year so make sure they see the real price and not get lucky and see a heavily discounted price because they happened to see it at the wrong time for you.

Would love to hear other suggestions for managing the picture library. I'm reluctant to delete until an items sells, but who wants to track that really? I'm not sure it's even worthwhile to maintain my masters once the item is listed.

Take the pictures on your phone. Put them on the PC by plugging in or using cloud, start the draft for the item your selling by putting the pictures in. And delete the pictures on your phone. After the draft is started, and the pictures have been input. The pictures no longer need to be on your phone. Unknown if this works if your posting actually using your phone. I use a laptop. And this works fine. Pictures are not on my phone for longer than 20 minutes before being deleted.

@@wayshegoesgaming296 That's what I used to do. It's much faster to start drafts directly from my phone, even if I choose to edit and finalize on my PC.

Spaghetti throwing CONtest now so listen to Justin folks. With eBay now saving your old listings it is going to become even more a throwing contest. Realistically one could outfit a transport van/RV to sell and travel all year around North American sourcing. Pack-up the days work and sending the products to a fulfillment house. Start the listing a week later, Why wouldn't you do this? While out and about look for RE buys, like cheap land. Start a channel for that and other travel experiences. The opportunities today are endless really.

Hey justin, after I finish my listing on the computer and get everything set, I take my photos on my phone, but after I take them, ebay automatically resets my buy price to the median Buy It Now price. any way to fix this? I often times have to run back to my computer to remember what I priced an item, so I don’t have to research it again. Also please talk more specifically about shipping policies🙏Thanks!

There are very few things I disagree with you about eBay and reselling in general and one of them is about having a description. Items should have a description except for when there really is not much to say because it’s brand new, the photos show everything, etc. but 95% of the time there’s things to note beyond the condition that people might not notice in the photos. And you should never use the AI tool.

Hey Justin. I haven’t found anyone that can answer this Question. In my photos I would like to add a screenshot of the same item on Amazon to show the value that I am offering? It’s a strategy that I use on facebook marketplace with a lot of success/sales. Don’t want to get dinged for using this strategy.
@ELO_DudeАй бұрын
If someone is looking on ebay for a particular item, odds are they already know what the Amazon prices are. They are there looking for a better deal.

When should a seller choose to go above 250 listings? Should you naturally go above that limit when you have enough inventory or when you are making a certain amount of sales?
@tommyebayАй бұрын
Dude, when you have the inventory available. The biggest road block to selling on eBay is coming up with the inventory that makes it worth while

@JenkylllllsАй бұрын
I think there is an anwser to this. Over 250 means jumping up to a store imo. If your doing that your basic store cost is essentially free if your doing enough sales the commission discount pays for your store. So if your doing enough for that definitely do it you will save money.

I just started selling with ebay without subscribing ebay store. So far, 1. immediately sold and canceled, 2. the same item sold, but ebay banned the buyer's account and told me not to send, but I had shipped already, so ebay kept the fund they paid to me. 3. Sold ok. 4. Sold and the buyer want the refund because 'I changed my mind.' The item is on the way. I have to refund once I get it. I am a long-time ebay user as a buyer with more than 1000 of 100% positive feedbacks (66 items sold). I didn't expect this kind of start. I understand there are occasional not-great selling experiences, but 3 in 4 were terrible experiences. Is this because I don't sign up for the ebay store?
