Thanks for stopping by. I think I've answered every single question you may have in my short blog article about my ebay process below. www.dailyrefinement.com/blog/ebaysetup

[@dailyrefinement]

Thank god you made a guide, I was going to ask a question about which bags you use or which camera or what box size you have. That free resources is really easy to use!

[@dailyrefinement]

You're very welcome! I thought it would be easier than answering the same KZbin questions over and over again!

[@dailyrefinement]

haha, that makes sense, I bet you get a lot of emails of the same questions!

[@michaelbourdakis4480]

It's the small things that make a difference the Lanyard on the phone, the tape measure and the set up, everything is within an arm reach, saves so much time.

[@dailyrefinement]

Indeed!

[@PVMMAC]

💯🔥👍

[@CobaltHaze]

I've wasted so much time in listing my clothing cause of the color accuracy issue. Your extremely smart in using the grey background as a grey card. I'm totally going to copy that.... thanks!

[@Bewareofthewolves]

Could you explain the issue that you have please?

[@keinohrtini]

so helpful! I have tried so many ways to make my photo process efficient but I am still not 100% satisfied. I will give this a try and I am looking forward to your video about how you set your photo place up

[@julietturner4915]

I faithfully listen to your tapes every morning before work. You have taught me how to relax and do think correctly instead of fast and sloppy. Your tapes have taught me how to be more professional with pictures, description and responding to customers. Bv because of that I have been getting EXCELLENT feedback. Thank you for taking the time to help other resellers. Juliet

The iPhone lanyard just changed my life! Among all your training with Tech. Thanks so much!

[@happylifegoodlife4all]

I have learned so much from you. You have helped me refine my processes and will be working 3/4 time on reselling starting next year. Thank you for all you do for the reselling community. Blessings to you and your family now and always in all ways. Pam

I like the no talking approach. Actions speak louder than words. And you've accomplished that beautifully

[@rodneyp9590]

Nicely done, I’m still using the Joan fabric oven mitten lining fabric you used to use. It has issues with needing cleaned and a lot of things need a hanger anyway but it works really well for measuring without trying to stretch it

[@dailyrefinement]

I still use the Joann fabric too, I’ll go over it again next week

[@jojose417]

Great info as always ❤️❤️

Great game. Ford manufacture would be proud. Smooth process

[@gizmoffm]

No talk all learn - nice format

[@dailyrefinement]

Thank You! I've heard the worst part of my videos is me, so I can try and reduce that.

[@gizmoffm]

You understood that wrong - there was no sarcasm in my post

[@chriskonwin2840]

In the “what’s working on eBay” video, you mentioned needed different hangers for pants and tops. I was wondering, if your photo station was at a less steep angle, maybe you could eliminate the need for hangers altogether. That would eliminate the need for hangers, the steps in your process related to hangers, and then your processes from tops and bottoms could be even more similar - or maybe the same.

[@dailyrefinement]

I like being able to flip it

[@KevinRey-k6p]

This is so helpful, thank you! I know you recommend a separate digital camera for photos nowadays, but the phone lanyard was such a great idea, I had to get one for when I do use my phone.

Nice, this is such an efficient system, I've learned a lot. Before, I'd dread taking photo as it took so long...

[@rinkuhero]

do you have a video covering how you made your photo station setup, like how we can make our own? i'll search but thought i'd ask also. i have a light box but it's too small for clothes so it'd be nice to set up something like this for clothes (i usually just lay them on a white sheet on my bed).

[@dailyrefinement]

Ok, I’ll make one!

[@brettlott570]

I also would love a video showing how you made this station. This is the game changer I need. I lay my clothes on my hardwood floor to take photos. (My Back NEEDS this setup) Thanks for all your informative videos 👍 You are the best!

Funny enough, even if you show people all of the trade secrets they will still be too lazy to implement this and would much rather just complain about slow sales.

[@dailyrefinement]

Lol

[@andrewchapman5659]

Lol Boss Moves wow if i would have known this years ago. I am implementing all of your clothing selling techniques ASAP. Game Changers. I Think for Dress Pants You Should have an Additional Tape Measure near by or just learn how to Eye it maybe to take the additional fabric available at the waist and on the leg seam. This information can make or break a sale of a suit or dress pants. But i guess you are going for speed as well. You can definitely learn how to eye it. and then just maybe right it on a sticker on the and put that sticker on dress pant bags / suits.

[@antoniocross5956]

Amazing! Thank you so much for the quick answer video! :)

[@genevajean7973]

Do you have your photographer/listers do like items to help speed the process up? Example all shirts one day, all pants one day, all dresses one day. Or do the do a shirt, then a pair of pants, then a dress all in the same day?

[@savingsistah]

I didn’t see a photo with the total length measurement. Do you not include it?

[@gigtaxservices]

Well I'll be dam. How would you do a three piece suit. Sometimes I spend so much time just trying to get it all in. This video is great 👍

[@dailyrefinement]

the best i can do with 12 photos, similar.

[@pamelahickman8723]

Im glad to see you've opted out of the white background. Analytics hasn't proven that Google prefers the white background as previously thought. In my opinion the white background is over rated and actually is straining on the eyes when looked at on a computer. I Use a brown neutral color that Google seems to enjoy. But, Im really not concerned tho what google thinks as long as the item has a good sell through rate and gets decent traction on Ebay thats all that really matters.

[@lovetheflip9865]

I don’t understand what you mean by a grey card???? Why do u want a grey background and not white?

[@zachariah7114]

Gray is better for color accuracy when you’re using the backdrop to be consistent

[@emmgeeenness]

This isn’t the same setup you have with insulation board..?

[@NsLHD]

wow very nice! I dig!

[@paulabair3888]

well done.

[@jessicagarza2821]

Does your carpet leave lent on your clothes? I'm over the white background I was using the white photo backdrop from amazon sucks its transparent. The material from Joann's attracted lent so it didn't work considering a carpet but don't want to have to worry about fuzzies from the carpet. Thanks for your videos it's taking me 2-3 minutes each item because of the shadowing. I'm still working on this thank you for the guide on your blog I've been reading it every day! Success leaves clues. Instead of using the canvas I stood up a folding table and slanted it against the wall due to limited space and clamped the backdrop which gives me a wider area of 36 inches x 72 inches. But now the background is transparent and I see the table which is black behind it. grrr, work in progress flat lays were hurting my back.

[@dailyrefinement]

No

[@joshl3078]

Is the support for you backdrop still a large canvas? I'm using a 6x4 plywood board but it's heavy and not wide enough. I think 6x5 would be perfect. Also, thanks in advance for your reply ☺

You never take pictures of the outseam? Just Waist Rise And Inseam? for all pants?

[@dailyrefinement]

I don’t

[@andrewchapman5659]

@@dailyrefinement Makes Sense - I would just personally be careful When You get into the LARGER Sizes Jeans Pants like 40" And Up Because then the Difference Between the Inseam and Outseam Becomes a Large Disparity for example a 46 x 32 can have an INSEAM of 46 or 45. So i am going to adopt your way, just on the larger sizes i will do outseam as well. How often do buyers ask fora additional measurements never? You dont do Sport Coats or Suits? Just Pants / Shirts? You would do amazing on Suits because you are so quick.
