[@Thriftyredhead]

Literally this is the video I’ve been looking for! I appreciate this video so much. I sell on eBay and Facebook. Some on what not. But want to start Facebook live selling. And this was so helpful! ❤

[@LostFoundDecor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TateBugs]

I have been so intimidated with trying a live sale! Thank you so much for spelling it out for me! I’m excited to try my first sale!!!

[@LostFoundDecor]

You’re welcome!

[@elizabethshepard.5393]

Agreed!

[@torinatv]

I feel the same way! Good luck to you.

[@elisiodominguesdesouza5388]

Melanie, thanks fir your time in giving us these relevant infos From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

[@LostFoundDecor]

You are so welcome!

[@tiwacraft4903]

Thank you for Information 👍🌹

[@valleyfamily1710]

Thank you so much for your help! I have watched a ton of your videos. I’m wondering if you or would be able to share with us in more detail how you track inventory, keep track of finances, etc. Thank you!

[@Thewhimsicalgarden]

So glad I found this because I have been wondering how live sales work. I just retired and I want to sell my items from my home. I already do outdoor art sales and just got a small space at the local vendor mall.

[@kaylittrell]

Thank you so much

[@greencottagegoods2474]

So much great information. Thanks! Gonna give this live sale thing a go!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Awesome!!

[@thingsilearnedthehardway]

Great great video, thanks so much!💖

I also sell on eBay. We had a Thrift Shop for 6 years. It was fun, but a bit overwhelming for the age I am entering. Now working on building up the eBay store is not the easiest either. After their fees, somethings aren't worth the time to sell. I need to make more $$$. I thought about live sales online on FB, but needed to know the 1-2-3 way to do it. Thanks so very much!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Great video Melanie! We did several FB live sales during the height of the pandemic and had alot of success. I probably should have kept it going since I had built up momentum. Most of our pieces are furniture and the thought of shipping furniture is overwhelming! Awesome Tips !! Thanks so much!

[@LostFoundDecor]

I get it! I have never shipped a piece and the thought of it seems overwhelming to me too. Live sales were doing super well during the shutdowns, I do think they’ve slowed a bit. But they’re fun and certain customers really love them! So I do think they’re here to stay for awhile

[@PaintedPonyFurniture]

Thanks for this video Melodie! It was SO helpful and informative!

[@LostFoundDecor]

You’re welcome 😊

[@benniececiliamattox7426]

Great information. I appreciate your videos that address questions and concerns for selling in a booth or other ways.

[@latoryafranklin732]

Best you tube video ever!!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks so much!

[@loriervin2831]

Thank you. That was so simple enough a 5th Grader could understand. You were great. Now I'm ready to do this. Wish me luck. BoClectic Designs

[@denisemcnabb]

That was fun! I have not done a live sale before. I think it’s time!

[@victoriaanson8188]

Another great video, I don't have a FB page yet. Can't fully commit yet, but am saving videos for when I am ready to give it a go. Thank you

[@teresadowns6845]

This was a fantastic video. I am thinking of giving this a go, selling same type of items as you. Thanks so much.

[@theangelinasol]

That was fantastic, concise information and much simpler than I thought it would be. Thank you!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Yay! So glad to hear!!

[@tatteredbookboutique]

Just love your advice!! ♥️

[@neusaneves3957]

that was awesome thank you

[@simonefaith1745]

Thank you so much!! I am so glad I found your page. I wanted to do a live, but didn't know where to begin. You explained everything so clearly, I'm excited to get started because I know what to do now.

[@LostFoundDecor]

You are so welcome!

[@rosariopaiz6158]

Thank you for the information on how to charge or figure the shipping and handling.

[@jenko1820]

Just found this video! New sub!!! Love the way you explained everything. Very easy to understand. I tried the KZbin live sales a few years ago and really didn’t like it. Maybe I’ll give this a whirl 😊 ps. Love your shipping ideas!

[@catherinesalvage2877]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@mitzihouston1169]

I really enjoyed this video. It was very helpful, I'm ready to get started. Thanks so much. Your such an inspiration. .

[@booth333]

Thank you for this video! My husband and I just started a curiosity shoppe and I've been telling him this is something we need to try to reach more people. We are going to give it a shot! (Fisher's Finds Curiosity Shoppe - look out for us! LOL!)

[@TravelingEmporium]

I have found this video very helpful! This is great insight and well explained! 🤠 Appreciate this so much!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lindapurdy8542]

Love all your business tips! I have learned a t9n of s5uff!

[@LostFoundDecor]

So glad!

[@jenniferwilliams9353]

Great information!! Thank you

[@tinagallucci40]

Great tips! I've been wanting to do this!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Awesome! You should definitely give it a try

[@trash2vintagetreasures]

awesome thx for the push!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Any time!

[@ThriftTreksEmporium-d2r]

your awesome! Do I create a facebook group to do this from or do i do it from my regular facebook page?

[@catherinesalvage2877]

Do you ever use the live shopping feature to set up the live? Or just go live like a regular live?

[@mandersdaro8136]

If you put the box in a shipping poly bag, on pirate ship, it gets even cheaper...just choose the box in a bag option.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks for passing along that tip!

[@mindypendergraph5150]

I just started a FB business page. Do you have to have a certain number of followers to go live?

[@jaymariedesignstudio]

I want to give this a try but I don't have a big FB page. How do you build an audience if you don't have a huge FB following?

[@LostFoundDecor]

That’s a great question, and I actually plan on talking about how to effectively build your social media following on next week’s video! But for now, I would say start doing live videos about other stuff regularly-while you’re out picking, or staging your booth. Get the people you have used to seeing you live!

[@fmorg84]

How do you record the sale

[@Grandmascookies10]

I'd love if you showed from the first step. I mean really first step, like how to set up a fb company, how to set up the video, where the buttons are to actually do the fb live sale

[@NancyASMR]

To start selling on facebook do I need to start a whole new page and pay a business fee?

[@LostFoundDecor]

A page is free :) Nothing to pay at all unless you want to run ads

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

My thing I have issues with is shipping costs… I went on a village 56 group; I had to figure shipping cost each went from 8.15 to 14.50 USPS. How do you do it? Pre weigh. Yet the costs are much more to California 😂

[@LostFoundDecor]

I shoot for averages with my shipping . . . some items I may make $1 or $2, others lose $1-2. I don't have the time to preweigh everything, and you-re right, it makes a difference where it's going. I expect to lose about 5-10% in shipping cost each month, so I build that into my pricing.

[@emptychallice]

QUESTION: I had a Paypal business account. But when someone sent me money Paypal would charge me a portion of what they paid. How do you absorb that cost?

[@LostFoundDecor]

Yes, they will because that's the service charge for processing the payment and allowing for the consumer protections :) Any online commercial payment or local payment using a credit card will have a 2-3% fee, businesses just absorb that as the cost of doing business.

[@notyourfriend5899]

I do not have a Facebook at all. Can i open one up and start a live sale or do I need followers already

[@LostFoundDecor]

You will need a FB personal account first, then you will need to start a Business Page. You can host a live sale on your business page but it will take awhile if you don’t have a following. You can do the same thing on Instagram, if that’s a platform you use, or even KZbin (but it takes a bit more work to get in contact with people who comment to purchase). But the larger your audience, the larger the pool of people who you can sell to :) Hope that helps!

[@zayzay7906]

The only thing about using the business PayPal account is that when you're new they hold your funds they have been holding my funds for over 3 weeks now saying that I am a new customer with no track record

[@LostFoundDecor]

Yes, that can happen. It takes some time to get established

[@aldishugbjortmatthiasdotti4975]

I love all evrything som you are doing. Unic warm huming being, and your voic is like a magnit and beautiful woman. I love evrything that you pik up. Just like l have pik it my self. I old hippi and cipsy in me . Love from Iceland. 🇮🇸💞🇱🇷🙏💖

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks so much Aldis 😊 I’ve never been to Iceland, how cool though that through KZbin we can connect. I bet you can find some neat treasures there!
