I think the most overlooked thing resellers do is the first step. How much are they paying for the item they are trying to resell. The hardest work I do as a reseller is this first step. Making sure I get my items at an amazing price. Then everything else falls into place. I can now afford to promote at a high %, I can now afford to give an employee a raise, I can now afford to absorb inflation. Everything else takes care of itself. If I were to do the opposite and overpay for my inventory well now everything is a battle. Make your first step your best one !

@@ernestvalenzuela3561 yep and your one step ahead of your competitor that overpaid and cant lower his price or he is in the red (not making any profit) for example if you get your items for 10% what your going to list them for but your computer pays 50% of what he is going to list it for he has hardly any margins to work with and will soon be out of business

[@immersivezen]

I'm going for the larger store and same or more margin by lowering my COGS. Love this episode, Tech. BTW...one thing for sellers to keep in mind when promoting is the fact that not all sales will be charged at promoted. I promote 10% across the board but my average overall is only 6%. So I keep that in mind when projecting profit.

[@bennystratton7734]

@@immersivezen do you do dynamic? where you cap it at 10% but i can fluctuate between 2% and 10%? im thinking about doing dynamic that way right now im doing static % (so a fix % across the board)

I love listening to you! When I first started reselling, someone gave me a 50 gallon bucket full of rocks. They were fist sized geodes; I sold every one of them on eBay and made a load of money. My son still teases me about selling rocks. You rock! Thank you.

What I'm doing to save more and generate more. I've stopped shopping last 17 days. Listing what I have. Started a draft bank. These 2 years REselling, I help my bin's store clean "as I shop" by taking all the empty boxes, packing air pillows, bubble wrap, thank you cards, loose stickers and poly bags for free - barely spent money on these items for 2 years SAVING A LOT OF MONEY. Today I didn't buy anything but walked out in 45 minutes with around $150 worth of shipping materials. The bin store is 4 blocks away . Owner gives me a few rolls of tape, almost every time I go. The post office gives me free tape too. Sold 5 items today for $455 - Cost of goods for all 5 items was $18 total. I'm making myself obsessed with listing great items...go shopping in my sleeping money piles when I get anxious to want to shop. THANKS FOR ALL YOU SHARE. It's appreciated! THANKS for telling me get my ish together a few months ago @techN 😂

[@technsports]

Good to see you Lashay! I hope all is well

[@Yeshanu]

We stopped promoting entirely late last year. Sales have not suffered, in fact, because we're listing more consistently, sales are up.

[@technsports]

Listing more consistently. Makes sense

[@Alpha.team.retail]

Bro, the struggle is real. Most think eBay is just find it, list it, sit back and get paid. The amount of sacrifice with social and family life it takes, only the eBay community will ever understand. It’s easy if you’re just throwing a couple things up here and there but to make it and scale is an entirely different ball game. Takes hard work and long hours.. there’s no other way around it and unfortunately, it’s those that are close to us that feel the full effect.. but you gotta grind to give them the life you never had growing up.

[@technsports]

100% Well put

[@wwz1011]

Agree 100% should be profitable day 1. Day 1 you can look around the house and grab items you aren't using. Then build a small bankroll, buying $1 to $5 items, selling for $25. Don't buy to buy, buy items you can sell and get them listed. I love buying, listing that day and selling the item a couple of days later. My lack of knowledge in the early days meant I passed on so many good items. The more you know, the easier picking becomes.

It’s crazy that once you’ve been doing this for long enough you start to realize that you don’t even need to comp most items to know if they are worth buying or not, but the thing that’s been getting on my nerves lately is all of the negativity in the comments section of almost every reseller video. Your videos are the only ones that don’t have a ton of negativity in the comments.

[@technsports]

I hope to keep them that way. I can look at it objectively and remove my emotion from the issue or situation at hand. If I was eBay I'd be doing the same thing, focus on driving more revenue/profit. I get it. We just have to play the games with the rules that are in place.

I started eBay almost six years ago to flip a few records to finance my hobby. March of 2020, I quit my job due to the ethics of the company and not wanting to jeopardize my medical licenses. Within the last sixteen months, I’ve pivoted from media to clothing for better margins and better opportunities for growth. With all that being said, I am morphing my company into a larger store [currently 5K, 3K media & 2K clothing]. My end goal is a 7-8K clothing & 2K media store with at least $500/day in sales. I’ll be combining the second and third models to make bank.

If all sellers lowered or stopped promoted listings ebay would lower the recommended. It’s like inflation. It goes up because sellers keep paying more. It’s similar to a multi- level marketing. Ebay is making more money off the downline of resellers.

The market is the market. It's not eBay. It's the market. They are reacting on what the market will allow.

great video tech! hope people here this loud and clear basically adapt or get left behind. One thing you left out another option not to popular because it involves work but another option is to diversify to other platforms and do face to face sales again like you said we are not living in 1995 when there were basically only 2 options eBay and amazon we are in 2023 eBay is not the be all end all for reselling this is why when i went full time in 98' i diversified from the start on amazon , eBay and back then for those that remember yahoo auctions. now 25 years later im on 10 plus platforms , i have my own website (since 2000) i do face to face sales via FB marketplace and craigslist i also set up at flea markets and at shows you have to use every reselling avenue you can don't put all your eggs into the ebay basket (its a receipt for disaster)

Love to finally have another addition to the Solid Advice with no BS or small talk in the community! It's great ; As to the promoted listings , I don't see us having to give up that much margin and keep racing to the bottom like as Amazon ... I don't feel we will have to do that at all ... Sometimes it's necessary to Promote and other times you can snap a photo of just the tag , List it like as a Draft and then get a sale in 15 minutes ... It all depends on the Keywords optimization the quality of the goods and the photo , but let's be honest we really can't scale a business depending on items like that , we have to take the not as great with the Sub Pars and Anomalies ... I feel like If we Brand ourselves , Source differently ( because the costs are going up too .. almost Double ) . Cross Promote , and Have A diverse inventory of what interests us with A comparable or better Space / Time / Money formula ... And Cross post on multiple Platforms then we will have More audience this way ... And more chances to sell rather than giving up Margins .... But also have an end Game because that's the most important part of it all ... Me personally, I thrive for A Modest Income and Spend my money to buy time .. not use it to Buy more work ...... And as like ng as I can meet my Margin and " Per HR " rate than I don't care if I make double what I paid . Sometimes it pays out exponentially compared to 10X returns while waiting 90 days or Year .....

I'm just small-time, but I would much rather sell more items for less price in times of hardship than less items for more price. It's far easier for me to go to the thrift and grab 20 shirts I'll make $5 on and process them than it is for me to find a single shirt I'll make $100 on. That, and in harder times, people will still be buying the lower-priced stuff. Not too many people looking for Gucci handbags when they're out of work.

[@technsports]

That might ultimately end up being the reality

[@samuelc8656]

There’s a happy medium in between where I like to be at because it takes the same amount of time to process a 5 dollar profit item vs a 40 dollar profit item. I try to only buy 20+ profit items unless the less profit item has a greater sell through

I have a thrift "Route" I travel to the farthest point 1:30 hrs away, hit that store drive 30 mins to the next, 20 mins to the next, 15 to the next, then 10 to the final one closet to my house. They are spaced quite a bit, and I live in an area where pickings are slim to me. Growing in knowledge daily, research the solds and specific sections of categories. I may find one 20-30$ profit item after I have hit all the stores likely. I pickup a lot of "Bread and butter" which is basically 7-10$ profit range, but the sell-through is slower, so to push inventory I take 5$ profit. Ebay is a desire, It consumes my days, Ive gotta make it work, I will make it work. Just not sure how people find 20 items a day at 20$ profit in living locations like mine. I suppose they have 50x the knowledge as me and I am just missing them.

I have been reselling for over 12 years, and have accumulated enough inventory to fill my warehouse space of 1200 square feet. I assumed I would do this until I fully retired, whenever that will be. The writing on the wall suggests my days are numbered, so I have decided I'm not going to fight to stay relevant in the future of eBay, so I'm selling off my inventory and buying no more. I am going to niche down to a few categories I enjoy and downsize my footprint significantly. It's not dead yet, but reselling the way I've always done it is on it's way out, and frankly I'm too old to care enough to switch up my game, so I'll slowly bow out while my stuff is still worth something.

59:06 or you can implement a healthy mix of all 3 models nothing wrong with that (Low medium and high volume and low medium and high value items Cater to all buyers) back in 98' before i went full time i got some great advice from a very wise reseller he said get a white board and draw diversification in big letters then draw branches out from the circle and make diversification the center of your business the heart of your business diversify what you source, where you source, where you sell and the price points at what you sell at. this business model for 25 years has never let me down

[@technsports]

The #1 thing people need to focus on, no matter what the model is, is sell through. If you get items that sell through 100% rate you won't need to promote. If you have enough of those to float your business and the other items are your profit, that's fine too. Lots to consider.

I understand sell through rates, sold vs listed items, using terapeak etc. I use these when I find something at the thrift store and look to see if it’s worth buying. What I would like to know- as it would be a huge time saver - is there a way to research BEFORE leaving the house that would allow me to know what items are worth looking for. I hope that makes sense. I watched lots of bolo videos and it seems like I’ve picked up items in those category and they don’t move the way I thought they would. I live in a large metroplex with a lot of resellers, so I feel like if I knew categories or something it would streamline my sourcing. Thanks for your help ❤!

[@technsports]

Of course there is. In the group we talk about this a lot & there are several resources available like the zip code call, deep dive document, resources how to study the solds

It is annoying that eBay doesn’t take into account bad buyer behavior or buyer not reading description and giving a bad feedback, but I get it. eBay can set up shop to do their best to be the best selling platform or the can spend millions in supporting sellers resolve their account issues. That’s why there is peer evaluations. It takes these buyer behavior margins into account so it’s apples to apples seller evaluation

[@technsports]

Yeah the peer to peer evaluation makes it level because if you have annoying things happening so does everybody else

How can one safely judge when the shift becomes a hard fact. If one guesses about this they will be early or late and can get into trouble ... you are predicting a 3-5 year total shift ... I judge that is too generous. Looking at certain niches that have been low margin high volume for decades, won't that work in more than just a few niches. Or does the race to the bottom hasten? I am planning to start selling in the spring... I think that I would engage in the lower margin higher volume method like what Auction Professor has done... many listings with the bulk of his sales low dollar. Thanks for your level headed low voice practical approach.

[@technsports]

Get started now. Even if it's a couple a day.

[@chrishustles94]

I sell in other categories but my main niche is in media just because it’s the category that I have the most knowledge in and enjoy the most. I’ve tried clothing and even tho I learned the category I personally hated it.

[@technsports]

Different strokes for different folks. If we all sold clothing there'd be nobody to sell media.

Hi new Subscriber, thank you for the information😊Do you sell internationally using Ebay's International Shipping program?

[@technsports]

Yes I do! Great program so you can ship internationally without any care

[@Nebraskagal]

Promote all my items do you suggest to do that or not because I noticed without doing that I don't get any sales and when I do I spend a lot of money in ads

[@technsports]

Depends what the item is. Some items need no promotions, some need all the promotions

Good looking shirt you're wearing. Do you have merch or is it a coincidence?

Familial natural short sleep is a rare, genetic, typically inherited trait where an individual sleeps for fewer hours than average without suffering from daytime sleepiness or other consequences of sleep deprivation. This process is entirely natural in this kind of individual, and it is caused by certain genetic mutations. One of the characteristics is abnormally high focus on goal-directed activities, which sounds very much like Tech. Only about four people out of 100,000 have this genetic disorder. *If you don't have it you are NOT going to be able to work 20 hours per day.* Period.

[@technsports]

I'm not sure what exactly it is. I just go to sleep when I'm tired and wake up when all the sleep is gone.

[@juliedubois5650]

Awesome video thank you 🙏🏻 you explained that you are using the static promoted because you want to know how profitable your items are, but does using a fix rate means it takes longer for items to sell vs dynamic ? Also is this true that Ebay is hiding stores and items that have a low sell through rate ?

[@technsports]

Ebay has every ability to hide low performing listings and low performing items. As for static vs dynamic. It really depends

Hey just asking how do you feel about crosslisting items?

I personally have no experience in cross listing. I've never done it before
